So Dorado it is. Hopefully in the next month or so I'll have a 2011 Demo with a Dorado, full Saint, and 823's on Sun Ringles. Just waiting for the frame to come in then I'll pull the trigger on the fork.
888 Evo vs. Fox 40 vs. Dorado
- Thread starter Nagaredama
- Start date
Not what I want to hear! I'm somewhat confident I can get one. If not I'll get a Knolly. I'm really not in a big hurry. Waiting for the second batch wouldn't be that big of a deal.you will never see that frame
Dorado looks good though
i put my order in right when they came up on spesh dealer site, im now in the pattern of hearing "two weeks" since the original delivery of early september
With newly designed frames. There always seems to be delays, Turner, Giant and many others seem to have teething issues. It will come, spesh does not want to lose out on all that money.
Ok, who makes a FLAT top crown for the new 888. Im thinking about switching from fox to marzocchi, Is there a flat crown with the boxxer standard hole pattern. I had Risse crowns for an old 888 years ago. Are the new ones flat. I would love to run another canfield drop stem.
Call Tyler at twenty6 products and tell him he needs to do a low rise crown for Zocchi with the boxxer integrated stem pattern... Its the craze,,,,,,
There is definently a NEED for that..... I do wish MArzocchi would just accept it as a IS and start doing it...
burgtec are making one, works components are planning to do one (cheaper then burgtec)

Those are for 35mm 888's, they only have the mega over built drop upper crown for 38mm 888's. (Which I have on my goonmobile.)
The Risse crowns don't fit with the Canfield drop stem. You have to grind the front of the leg clamp to get the bar to clear, unless it has a big rise.
ahhh thanks Lance... Good to know. Hope all is well overseas
I have the function crowns on my 40 and its the best part Ive ever bought. Its such high quality, and just dirty light. I recommend it to everyone. They are based locally where I live. Aaron the owner/designer and he has a true passion for what he does. Great product.
i have a function crown on my 40's but the works components crown looks so smooth

jeez, nobody can read. OLD 888 only, guy asked for the NEW one. k?
so any ride reports on the 2011 888 evo vs. evo ti.....Ano legs vs. nickel ?
cant say enough good things about my Evo Ti. been on it for over a year and it hasnt let me down one bit.
i did feel the small bump sensitivity wasnt as good as i initially wanted, but the Works tune changed that. its nice to know they are offering the Works tune right from them.
