Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.I spent lots of time and lots of $$ getting a 'cheap' set of Swedish $hitter Shocks to work on my vmx bike. Bit the bullet and bought a set of YSS shocks have not touched them since I bolted them on(except for setting the rebound) I reckon I spent less on buying the YSS than I did, shims, seal heads springs etc etc. Not to say that the knowledge isn't worthwhile I just don't have the time to play with suspension gizzards.
