OK so Fox 40 will be its own cartridge with a REALY needed design change for that fork....
Avalanche boxxer upgrade kit out! Will fit majority of forks!
- Thread starter bullcrew
- Start date
Awesome! Thanks Bullcrew! Can't wait to see what this looks like and if it delets the "fork schlong" at the bottom of the lowers.
LOL! Yeah that thing is a major target, Ive seen ALOT with bent or crushed caps as well as several friends with em smashed!
Kinda in the same boat. I want the new 35mm chassis if im gonna spring for the AVY conversion. Thats a combo that could be deadly.
I dont think its worth it in my 07 Team seeing as how the Push rebound upgrade is 140.
I realy don't understand your thinking here. It's just a bit of tear down and grind time. closed bath or not. enlighten me. John Kranked just tears em down and gets them running great in no time

how about the Domain DC with the AVA convertion... pure gold!
Oh talked to craig and theres some good stuff for the 2010 boxxers on the way.
He is making the boxxer stuff first, the adapters for 32mm and the adapter kit for the 2010s then hes on to the 888s and so on.
So the kit will fit the new ones as well as a tuning package for the stock ones.

wait, so craig is making an improvement on the hi/lo compresion on the 2010 Boxxers? could you retrofit those to the 2010 Boxxer Race?
Not quite sure I know he has a plan for the cartridge to fit in with an adpater kit and some other stuff in the works as well.
Hmm... Im sending in my 5th to be done up so I can do my VPFree short-shock; I like my 888 but always seem to get shorted on travel unless I sink the oil height by 15mm.
Having been 90% MZ guy, Im wondering what I might like about the new damping setup? Ill probably do it, rather than shell out for a new fork when my chassis is in great shape. Does anyone *HAVE* this yet? comments? Avy is qual, but not nec the right choice for everyone... I SEEK FEEDBACK!!
WHAT!?!

WHAT!?!
We just stuck one on a buddies bike that we abuse and its super nice, we need a heavier spring rate so its not relying on the valving but its adjustments actually do alot now and its easy to tune it....
As far as the feel alot I love the way avys feel always have I am not a huge fan of their fork weight if they were a bit lighter Id rock one and this is why the new AVA program kicks butt.
Im pretty excited to get one and run it as well as see all the new items coming out.
Craigs been quiet for a while getting it all ready so its good to see it transpire...
New service page for the AVA program is up! Lists the forks and shocks serviced as well as models now along with prices.
Huge lineup on the aftermarket tuning including the DHX shocks as well...

Looks like a lot of neat new upgrades. I like that he has a compression adjuster and conversion for the DHX...have been toying with the idea of pushing mine and this would solve the debate between picking up a crappy 5th ele and having him toy with it, or having my DHX pushed and leaving it at that...
I wonder what the suspension pros think about the compression updater.

Any word on an option for single crown forks? Lyric/ Totem/ 66?
Hudson had a early prototype for his 888 and it felt pretty good. this was about a year ago and im sure he has gone through a lot of improvements since then.
what more needs too be improved on the 2010 Team / World cups...
they seem perfectly fine.
they seem perfectly fine.
2010 WC damn near perfect fork LOVE the thing BUT it changes too much when I mess with the hi/lo speed (comp). I mess with the High and it seems to alter the lo too much. If there was more of a neutral zone between the 2 would be a good thing or maybe a different valving so the adjustments are more fine tuning vs the whole range.
Do not get me wrong I love my boxxer this year is a HUGE improvement over last years and the later updates to the 2010 make it even better (doesnt lock out LOL). Im impressed, they did a really good job on it. THeres always room for improvement especially on a fork designed for the massess and oe on bikes. The ultimate is always a custom tuned or tuneable set up if your willing to play with it a little it can be better or if your questionably stable then it could be worse!
Aside of that I love it, BUT if you can make it feel better like an AVY Id take that in a heart beat. BXR weight and ultimate plush
careful, might get banned with posts like that...LMAO!!!!!!
Always!!!!
this almost makes me not want to sell my 888 rc2x
don't, with offers like these, you can't go wrong
Paradise
LOL Yeah I got my little peice of hi/lo speed paradise coming for the boxxer.Paradise
BTW there is a tuning kit for older 888s coming out with a video and a range of tuning options as well as a DVD showing you how to tune and reshim it.
I'm still around...
lol!!!
I wonder if Craig can make it fit a White Bros Fluid 150 29er fork. Its the only long travel option but it has no adjustability
I was hoping more along the lines of the zocchi 44
Talked to Craig today and it is a big no. Hopefully something will come out at sea otter. I think RS will have something
Just reading through his page and looking at stuff the FOX DHX upgrade looks to be solid.
Apparently its a true speed sensative upgrade and tune vs position sensative like other tunes out there.
Diggin the adjuster as well for it!
Looks like no more mod parts needed for it as far as housing as well to fit. just replaces old adjuster!!!!

Push's tune for the DHX is a position sensitive system??
Actually, unless you get the MX upgrade, then yes, it still retrains position-sensitive aspects because it retains the boost-valve/propedal. Back in the day they offered a "race" tune that gutted the shock and got rid of the boost-valve and propedal adjustments, but many riders still wanted to be able to adjust their "pedaling" or "platform", and so Push stopped offering the "race" upgrade, which is also why the DHX shocks have been known to "spike", as it's the boost-valve that restricts the flow.
It's not completely a position senstive shock obviously, it's mostly speed sensitive, but it most certainly has position sensitive aspects. You only get rid of those by getting the MX tune, or supposedly this new Avalanche tune.

Guess the first production one was shipping today or tomorrow! Who is lucky number 1?
and what happened to that VIVID tune push was developing a while back? From the look of it, it seemed they made ir into a DB, where you had hi and low compression as well as hi and lo rebound (although it would work as a DB because it doesnt have the oil flow capabilities the DB has since it only has "one" barrel)
Also new on the avalanche advantage part of the site is shim kits with guides for the new 888. also, when i spoke with Craig he said the dates on the site should be pretty accurate, not really a question of "if" anymore.
