I have a few months on my nomad now and really enjoy the ride! I have built it up pretty solid now. Any thoughts?

A guy I was riding with had that happen right before the decent. No fun, but I'm interested to see how next year's turn out.Kanter said:YEP.... Stuck down. I dont trust air. The DHX coil with a Ti spring is super light.
Red one broke and now I run the orange Fly.Sir_Crackien said:oh btw kanter i love your fly's

Inkhell.... I need your help!Inkhell said:I'm 6' and just picked up a medium Nomad. Seems to fit great. Similar geometry to my old 18" Stinky D and med Foes Fly. I'm running a 170mm 66rc2x so the head angle is a little slacker than stock but it fit's great. Not much riding yet here in Minnesota but the DHX air seems to be holding up. Even raced a dh race on snow with no issues. Got a used 5th to try on it just in case. I'm 230lbs and not smooth so I don't have a ton of faith in the air shock.

I just bought a Nomad, minus the front shock (I'm running an older z.1 for the time being). I noted the first problem was the low BB clearance (Prolly from the z.1).
Could you measure the BB height? I'm thinking of going with the 66rc2x myself and want to find out what that will do to the BB height.
Thanks!
Ascentrek, you might also consider a 66SL. I picked one up in early January, and I'm liking it alot. All the stiffness of a 66 with the weight of a Z1 [5 1/2 pounds], and the ability to adjust the travel, even below the stated 150mm. It feels like a coil sprung fork.Ascentrek said:I will be hitting more backcountry rides with this rig, but want the ability to take some hits (porcupine rim, Amasa back, etc). I love the feel of the 888, and figure the 66 will feel similar.
Your opinions are crucial monkeys!

Is white ranch rideable right now? I believe that I have a few hours to myself so to speak saturday morning. [The wife is going for a road ride]. The SL is a 170mm fork. The different travel settings are achieved by increasing the air pressure in the negative air chamber. As I said, allthough Marzocchi says it's a 170-150mm fork, you can bring it down to 130mm if you want to. Here are a couple pics with the fork set at 150mm. Allthough I don't have a lot of hours in on the fork, I feel that it is at least as stiff as my super T.Ascentrek said:Renegade,
Can we hook up for a ride sometime? Perhaps a White ranch gig? I'd like to check out the 66sl... sound just about perfect.
Do they make the 66SL in a 170mm version?
