so how about any of these choices compared to the quadshop conversion? For around $600 (figurativley speaking) I can either get a brand new set of just front shocks, or I can send my stock ohlins, front and rear, to the quadshop and get them converted to triple rate SSDs. which do you guys think is the better choice

The Speed, Glamis, Blaze, Moto and a few of the Cannibals that came with Ohlins can all be converted. The first year I raced a Cannondale Blaze, I raced the entire season on the stock Ohlins with the SSD conversion. They worked great with no problems all year. Now I run Elka's, they are a better shock but if your on a budget the conversion will work great for you.

I was looking at the tcs shocks are they comparable to a elka or ohlins shock in quality and performance?? Someone that has had both tell me what you thought of both shocks if the tcs are about the same quality as an elka I might go with them. Are the race series fronts they offer comp/rebound adjustable or just comp adj.

I sell both and I believe the TCS are not as good as Elka, they are more along the lines with Ohlins shocks. I know Haydug has had good luck with them but I'm just not impressed with their internal workings.

I picked up a set of used Elka's. triple rates with SSD and they work great. They are from a 400ex and some people said the tie rods would bind on the steerign stem mounts, but mine work fine.
