The Risse Genesis shock is a great upgrade for the Quest. It competely cures the chain skipping problem I had sometimes when riding over road surfaces that shake the rear-end of the velo in a certain way, such as the cobbled sections I ride over in the video. It also makes the rear wheel track completely straight and stop skipping sideways when going fast.

I went over some of the worst cobbles I knew of in my area at full pelt during my commute today, to find out how the shock would perform. As you can see, it's pretty uneventful. So, the Risse Genesis shock is 200 euros well spent.
