figured it out, cut up the cups with a band saw. also, it HAS to be cut, the spindle is to big (thats what she said).

and if you could read you would know that one person has given up and another cut the threads, I just didn't know if he meant the bb cup threads or adapter threads, but thank you for telling me to search a tread I have already read you were really useful, and Ithnu thanks but you just gave up, FOXROX did it

haha yea sorry just annoyed trying to get these cranks to fit

 

[denjen]

how are you guys mounting e13 cranks?

use the search noob

 

[PDS RX]

use the search noob

maybe if SOMEONE had just hacksawed the cups everything would be spinning smooth right now

 

[gazzou]

another option, E-13 PF30 adapters will be available from May 23 on CRC

 

[demo 9]

Did anybody come up with the solution on how to keep the adapter cups in, the cups have started to back out on both my demos, neither have gotten lock-tite, but apparently that has not worked either, whats the story?

If everything is preloaded up correctly theoretically they shouldn't come loose since then the crank arm would have to come loose. However that's the theory, I guess I'll see how mine does once I get a few days on it.

I'm leery about the whole interface, threaded composites are a big no-no. But we'll see.

New post, new topic...

I talked to Marzocchi and they said their air canister hits the frame and I've seen a Vivid air on one in person.


Anybody know if a Manitou Revox will fit?

 

[san_andreas]

Just make a 1:1 drawing of the Revox and hold it in your frame.

Can you loan me a Revox I can trace onto paper?

Really that's a good idea, I can print out one that's the right eye to eye. Worth a shot.

thats what i thought, but Transcend said thats not the case, at least with the Descendants

Has anyone tried to modify the yoke to fit shocks other than Fox or a Vivid?

Marz said their reservoir hits the frame. I looked at the Revox, and while it clears the frame the eyelet mount by the rebound is too wide for the yoke.

 

[Ithnu]

Update here, a Manitou Revox will fit. But it you need to drill the yoke out to fit the larger rebound knob. The Revox eyelets needed to be ground down (they are wider than Fox) to fit the yoke.

Not too much work, but some folks may be hesitant to grind/drill their gear.

 

[san_andreas]

Is the rear yoke for the Double Barrel already available through Specialized USA ?

My suspension guys obtained mine from cane creek I believe. Worth a call in to Malcolm to see if available direct.

 

[Sugar_brad]

I have had a double barrel on order for over a month. I talked to them yesterday and they said that it won't ship til the end of the month due to a large oem order. And from what we were told at my local shop the double barrel uses the stock shock yoke.

Cane Creek has developed an eyelet that works with the stock fox yoke on the demo. Good to go!

I waited around 35-40 days for my CCDB.... i ordered it early may.

it f'n rules!!!!! the stock yoke from specialized works fine.. the CCDB eyelet is specially made.

testing the new CCDB out last weekend:

i like it the most so far out of fox rc4, vivid coil, and vivid air that i've had on this bike.

 

[Ithnu]

After several days out with my Revox I have to say it's not that far off from the Fox. The adjustments are easier, no tools, so you can tune it by hand on trail. The damping feels very similar, I actually couldn't tell any difference.

The only 2 places I noticed was the rebound on the Revox has a bit more adjustment (I use a slow rebound) so it felt smoother for me and the air chamber adjust really can be noticed when used.

One of my team sponsors is Hayes, so for me the Revox is far cheaper than the Fox. Enough that I can make $$ selling the RC4.

But biased aside it's probably not worth switching the shock out for people who already own it. However if I was choosing between the 2 on a bare frame I'd go Revox, it is a little cheaper retail, the rebound is smoother and the adjustments are easier.

willing to sell me the vivid air?

 

[Sugar_brad]

ustemuf glad you got your shock. It's just weird that someone across the country got one before I did...I live 2 hours from fletcher NC and work in the bike industry lol. It's all good though I am sure they are crazy busy supplying oem orders so no hard feelings here. Did you have to change your spring rate or did you leave it the same?

 

[Nagaredama]

My CCDB just arrived for my Demo today. Hitting Northstar this weekend.

Anyone have a starting point for the HS/LS Compression and rebound. Anything would be much appreciated. I'm running a 450 spring and Dorado up front.

Thanks!

 

[Sugar_brad]

Just got my ccdb today and made 2 runs at sugar. High speed compression at one full turn(everything starting from counterclockwise), high speed rebound at 1 full turn.low speed compression at 2 clicks, low speed rebound at 3 clicks. Spring preload at 1 turn.I am 150 geared up and am running a 300lb spring. Titanium spring is next.Cane Creek settings:

[92SE-R]

Did anyone have an issue with their Gamut top guide rubbing in the top two gears? I don't have any spacers or anything on them. You would think if it was specced from the factory, they wouldn't have these issues. This is on a 2011 Demo 8 I.

How's the CCDB been treating ya? Considering a '12 demo frameset and I always hear about what a PITA CCDB's are to set up..

I am running mine with the stock settings that cane creek came up with for the double barrel on a Demo, and absolutely love it. I haven't changed a single setting since. Use the base settings that Sugarbrad linked to and you should be good to go.

 

[Sugar_brad]

Yeah the stock settings freakin rip! Couldn't be happier.92ser-I assume your frame has a gxp bb/crankset? Did your lbs install the bb for you? There is a chance they left out a spacer. As for the hollowtech cranks 2 spacers drive and 1 non drive allows for the best chainline and your pfbb30 cups won't come loose.

 

[mantra]

How much SAG do you guys recomend on the current Demo frames?

 

[BOOMSLANG]

25-30% Jason C

Information from the source Thanks

Now I need much softer springs! Why are most of the tall people heavy, or why am I so light? Questions over questions...

 

[juanbeegas]

Has anyone managed to run a single crown, like the 180mm Fox 36? May I know what lower headset cup worked for you?

Found a pic, photoshopped colours, I think.

 

[san_andreas]

You must use a "normal" headset with a "normal" external lower headset cup. You need the height of the lower headset cup, so the fork can pass the down tube.

 

[mantra]

Something like this could work!?



Look at the headset on the right for taperd steerer:

 

[juanbeegas]

I'm sorry, i posted that in a hurry. I forgot to add -

A friend is running a Hope step down headset and a Float 36. He still has clearance issues.

 

[san_andreas]

Hope Stepdown ?
Long or short version ?

 

[Nick]

That yellow and grey combo looks awesome.

 

[juanbeegas]

Hope Stepdown ?

View attachment 109570

Yeah, the long version. He removed his compression knobs and it still wouldn't clear, so he cable tied some cut up tires to protect the down tube.

 

[demolist]

Just wondering, is it ok to run the top crown of my boxxer directly above the headtube without a spacer?
Will there be an issue as the headtube is rather short and thus the distance between the top and lower crowns would be lesser.

Thanks!

 

[sxt]

Yeah, the long version. He removed his compression knobs and it still wouldn't clear, so he cable tied some cut up tires to protect the down tube.

any picture? the hope step down is already considered pretty high
