Ok.
I have one dhx air in 200x57. After an unfortunate incident with a rock, the stanchion looks like it was a baby dinosaur's chew toy. After an unfortunate incident loaning it to another rider, there is air in them oilz.
I have one float rp3 in 200x57. It has always been "meh" at best, and a bottom out bandit at worst.
I am a consumer, so no one at fox will sell me a replacement part. Unless I send this to fox, or to push, I can't think of another way to build one, decent shock aside from cannibalizing.
First question: Will the stanchion from a float of equivalent length fit on a dhx air? I know the OD is the same because the air cans are interchangeable between them. They sure do look the same, but I don't want to crack the float open until I know, because then I'll have two dead shocks. I needs me a guru on this one.
Second question: Can someone point me to a pdf of the dhx air shimstack? If not, can someone tell me the id of the shims?
Third Question: any tweaks or mods I should do when I'm in there? (warped piston this, polish that, add a shim here ect) So far, aside from building it up with a mix of redline medium and heavy, and taking the time to ensure a proper bleed, I was going to throw a bottom-out bumper off a coil shock in there to take up some volume and end stroke rampz up and call it a day. With the regressive beginning stroke on santa cruz bikes, should I stiffen the stack off the bat?
The shock will be going on an APP santa cruz bike
thanks all
