you will need a Vivid spring. They're HEAVY & a bigger diameter. I run Xcountry/ d.hill & use a 550# 2.5-2.75 on mine. It's actually a 2.75 shock. I am 182 w/ gear included.
Finished Climpson in 95. Just bought a Shova LT from Richard myself (Oct. 2011) (small werld :). Have a 2011 Totem RC2 DH coil on the way now putting my 180mm Domain on the shelf to eventually lower the travel to 115mm for my Kona DJ/ urban bike. I haven't been to Issaqueena in almost 1 yr. -...
went w/a flush mount headset, kept my domain & sent the old 5'th Element to Avalanche to let Craig work his magic, he DID. It was the 8.5 x 2.5"er I had on my Bullit, this being a shorter stroke/ length lowered the rear end a bit & slackened the head-angle some. It CRUISES downhill. Shock is...
Single crown technology has improved GREATLY in recent years. I ride XC also, which happens to "fit" a single-crown application better. Ran a RS Boxxer WC for a couple of years on my Bullit which WAS GREAT for DH but TOO much for XC riding. Looking @ a coil Totem or a 66 RC3 for the Shova @...
Just got an 08 Shova LT frame (less shock) from Richard (previous Morewood owner) & am putting my 2.5 x 8.5" Fifth Element that came of my Bullit on it as well. I sent it to Avalanche to get the air reservoir converted to nitrogen & they're re-valving w/ new internals also. Lower ride height &...
Oh, forgot to add: got a Pro Deal on a set of Avid Juicy 7's. These were also added (front & back - HAVE TO match ya know) to compensate the 74mm post mount required on the arm of the unit.
Wanted to make an update. I AM riding again (almost up to par) & FINALLY GOT the BT on the Bullit. Here is a pic... All I had to do was file the existing "hat" washer I had to accomodate the diameter of the "Fun Bolt" & my mechanic found the MISSING roller bearing that was under his mat in his...
Met 2 of you yesterday (Thurs 1/28) (BAD W/ names here - 1 was the guy pictured in the first photo w/ the gray tshirt; the other was on a green hard-tail Transition) REALLY impressed w/ your efforts men. We are gonna get back w/ you re: the "discussion" we had & look fwd. to the race(s) comin...
I am in bad pain here. Almost been 2 weeks since the "mishap". I broke the carpus area of my left hand dislocating it from the metacarpus bone. Having trouble putting pressure here for it's where the grip "fits" in my palm ("pinky" side). Supposed to be building a pump track for a group here...
yep, built it back in 2004 to bring back memories of my fond childhood creation. Got the frame/fork a few sticker kits for $600 shipped. It began. Gotta Hutch stem but want a NOS DK Pro to complete it. Don't think I'll ever sell it. Just like to keep & look @ it to remember the good ole days of...
