Let's talk about upgrades you have done to your mission.

I'm putting a softer seat on. But what I really wish my Rad Mission had is shocks.
Is it possible to do that? Anyone know?

you may be able to upgrade the front fork with a suspension fork from bolton -

you'd likely need the 26" version but check with kyle at bolton to verify...

You or the LBS should be able to do that. I'm in the process of adding shocks to my radwagon. The problem with it is that the head tube is extra long so "standard length" steerer tubes don't fit. The website pics make it look like these are the same between the two models. So I would be careful

I installed a RockShox Recon Silver RL on my Rad Mission
It works good!!!
Installed the 27.5 100mm 9x100mm 42mm offset 160 disc brake
I had to install spacers on caliper otherwise easy upgrade.

      I appreciate your response of:   I installed a RockShox Recon Silver RL on my Rad Mission
It works good!!!
Installed the 27.5 100mm 9x100mm 42mm offset 160 disc brake
I had to install spacers on caliper otherwise easy upgrade.
      Kinda pricey, any idea where can I find a less expensive fork/shock set up?

I put these on from Amazon. Bucklos 27.5 (https://amzn.to/3yUfwEN), a lot better ride now.

Congrats! 8)
Is this the one? RockShox Recon Silver RL Suspension Fork | 27.5" | 100mm | 9x100mm | 42mm Offset https://amzn.to/3TduBc8  I didn?t see any reference to the 160mm disc rotor size.

What specific spacers did you use?

Were you able to source a fender that would work with this shock?

I am thinking of the Recon, I know some installed the rockshox Judy ? any reason you didn?t go with that one?

Did you pay $260?  ty
