Looks like a hefty spring on that thing. Steel and lots of tightly wound coils!Originally posted by Gallain

The bike is a Kona 2005 Stinky Supreme.
The coil is a 400" so it's not that big.Originally posted by DH Dad

I've heard pretty good things about that shock! Too bad it doesn't fit on the 04 DHR
Entirely different damper/internals, so I doubt they stole anything from Push in the making of this.Originally posted by Spunger
Well I think Fox might have a winner with this one! Maybe they stole some ideas from PUSH industries in making this?
especially considering proto version of this shock were out about 12-18 months ago.Originally posted by binary visions

Anybody know availability on these things?
They are shipping OEM now (all the new Cover Peelers have them) and they will be available to the general public by the end of the race season I believe.Originally posted by kidwoo

Yeah, I was going to mention that I had heard something about these shocks a while before I had even heard of Push Industries, but didn't have a time estimate on hand to back that upOriginally posted by Transcend

Good, so I can escape the guilt of ordering some standard propedals. That helps. Thanks.Originally posted by Transcend

Its a SWEET shock. I rode Jamie Billuk's a few times over the last 3 weeks (cove kid, cnd junior national champ). He is a HUGE Kid, but i coudl dial it back to be almost suitable for me. The adjustments work extremely well.Originally posted by kidwoo

Really well done, nicely machined etc.
And does it come in Rootbeer?Originally posted by kidwoo
but dude..........can you huck it?
I kept asking jamie that for 3 weeks, he lives in Whistler now so I'd guess yes?Originally posted by kidwoo
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm planning on owning one. I'd rather just get something readily available now and go ride.
But yeah the ones I've seen and bounced on pro folks' bikes seemed to be in the high quality zone for sure.
but dude..........can you huck it?
That kid is a ripper for sure. He can easily keep up with some of the fastest guys in the country if he can keep it together for a race run. In practice no one can touch him.Originally posted by mental
Fraser;
If you see Jamie soon, tell him Mike says hi! That kid's a friggin ripper, I had the pleasure to ride with him and Dustin at a camp in Kamloops a couple years ago! He's unbelievably smooth and could (almost) keep up with Dustin top to bottom - not bad for a 15 or 16 year old kid (at the time)
Give this kid a chance and I'm sure you'll see him busting it with the big boys. He's certainly one of the most dedicated amateur riders I've met.
Are you going to get one?Originally posted by ViolentVolante
actually the DHX 5.0 will be out next month
Ain't that the truth. I haven't seen him since last year's Joyride. Yeah, races seem to get him a little "excited" but perhaps time will help him calm his nerves and get him some clean runs.Originally posted by Transcend

Sure did put on some pounds tho from last year! He is also a walking comedy show, so much fun riding with him on and off for 3 weeks, especially the trainingc amp together for 4 days straight. You can't even have a peaceful breakfeast if he is at the table, you are always trying not to spit OJ outta your nose.

Why don't you ride this new Fox before you go making mods to it. It may be perfect right out of the box.Originally posted by ViolentVolante

That smiley needs to be a part of the RM repertoire for sure.Originally posted by ViolentVolante

errr! Im not selling the fork, i just ordered 2 WB DH 1.8s, and im keeping mine, im not selling my fork, i did that just to screw around and get Brian going but i will sell it in a few months when the new WB comes out, i cant say anything but it will be awsome just waitOriginally posted by kidwoo

If your old one was for your disco, it will only fit my norco which I don't want another shock for.
Well you're selling your disco which was the best bike ever, you're selling your DH2.0 which was the best fork ever, you're selling your pushed RC which was the best shock ever, I'm just hoping your DHX will also be the best shock ever. So what then, two or three weeks? I know this one requires some more tuning time.
Well after a good 3-4 weeks of solid curbs and stairs, the Disco, 2.0 and PUSH can't handle the abuse its being shown. Thats why he's not going to N* he's afraid the bike would disintegrate if it got dirty, or he would be having trouble selling a part that looks like its been actually used.Originally posted by kidwoo

So you're keeping the DH2.0 to wait for the new james bond WB fork and in the meantime ordered two other WB downhill forks. You must have a pretty badass pub/commuter bike.Originally posted by ViolentVolante

the disco is sold, the push is the best shock ever and its not yet for sale
