I could tell you that but then I'd have to kill you...
:biggrin:
Rumor has it this guy ---> (S.K.C.) is getting his hands on a PUSHed Boxxer proto too...

The mods Darren did to our Boxxer:
Complete Overhaul with new fluids, seals, and o-rings PUSH Exclusive Vault Damper seal housing featuring the upper and lower guide bearing design and custom Urethane Rod Seal.
Granted its not the full Push Factory System setup yet as he's still working that out.

So just to be devil's advocate here, do you think it is a viable upgrade, or just a different design? I've never had any issues with the seals in the 3 years I've owned mine..
I lust for a socom.
Why am I getting asked for a password on sections drivetrain onwards?
only the first 3 pages are up now. the rest will be available tomorrow.
he could save about 8 grams if he took that pabst bottle cap off the steerer!!!
The more I see and read, the more I like the Socom.
How much is Push charging to do a boxxer? I would imagine $215 like their other forks? To me, it seems a bit steep considering the only thing special (it sounds) is the 'vault damper seal housing.' Seals, fluids, and o-rings are cheap and easily replaceable at home.
uhhhhhh....

So essentially nothing important has been changed yet and despite having a few Push parts, it's still got all the original Boxxer damping... why bother mentioning it really? If that was just a home job yeah maybe you'd consider it "modified" but coming from a company who are capable of making entire dampers and stuff, it's pretty insignificant.
and when they make them is when it will be available to the general public. there only doin "special" peoples boxxers right now. when its all good to go is when theyll announce it and you can get your hands on one.
Well its not in its final version yet but it does feel quite good. Pricing isn't determined yet so its hard to say if its worth it. If you're @ the rock next weekend you can ride it if you'd like (if it fits ya). Acadian did a writeup on some of the tech info done to it if you're interested in knowing more but i'm waiting on some responses from Darren but he's been pretty busy.
You're running 2.35" tires though right? That's another 1.5-2lb off we could take off if want to play that gameI see the rest is up now. They are only 0.4lb lighter than me, which isn't bad, seeing as i'm running a Fox 40 which is what, 0.8lb heavier than a Boxxer WC...
I think I could get mine around the same weight without a fork swap. Now there's a challenge for me
Not really, there is very little 'real' difference between the 2.35 & 2.5" UST High Rollers in dual ply format. IIRC the 2.35" I weighed were ~ 1200g. They just happen to roll a lot faster for me...
Worth baring in mind though, Maxxis tyres vary massively in weight, even on a like for like tyre. On another forum I use a guy weighed 8 tyres, all the same & they varied by as much as 100g. Scary.
Like the 6 speed idea though, I tend to hover round the middle of the block & often wonder why I bother with 9 gears when I use 5 or 6 at most.

ETA on the Scott? Do you even have one at this point?
Are there SOCOM's in stock? Can you cancel your current order?There are 3 DH10's at the factory all slated for Pro riders... None for Semi Pros
They said April 7th, but that isn't going to happen.
EDIT: sorry for the thread-jack.

May well be. I never really got an answer about what variants Maxxis sells when I asked: http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199161&highlight=maxxis+ust
The Maxxis site is next to useless with info, but from what I can gather, they have done both single ply & dual ply in the past, but it is now LUST or dual ply. That would seem about right based on weights, as the LUST 2.35" High Rollers are ~950g as well.
A definative answer would be good though - that info I took was from the justridingalong.com website, they are pretty hot on all things UST.

Well mine definitely AREN'T LUST ones. Or they're not labelled as it anyway, and the shop I bought them from sells both and I chose the non-LUST ones.
Yeah I know the guys at JRA and I'm sure their weights are accurate, especially since they tally with mine.
I think what we're getting at is that 2.35" USTs are single ply, and 2.5" USTs are double ply.
