Has anyone tried this out yet, and if so how does it work? It seems like the best of both wrolds to me, the same weight as a 40, all the adjustments, and it is a bomb proof fork.
888RC2x with titanium springs
- Thread starter SBDownhillRacer
- Start date
I think it would be sick, do you have a place to buy them from?
no this is why i'm asking, i have only herd that it can be done, but i know nothing as to where to get springs for the fork for.
I think Vitox had figured out some way to fit 05' Boxxer Ti springs into a 888RC, but it takes some doing...
yea i know mojo suspension company made a whole kit for the rc that turned it into a ti sprung rc2, i wonder if i could order the ti springs from them?
According to vitox, Manitou Ti springs fit Boxxers which I guess could fit 888's with the mods you're talking about.
so no one knows of where to get ti springs for 888's that are ment for 888's?
As far as I know, neither Mojo nor anyone else (unless you're Fabian Barel and have access to the Marzocchi Works pro hook-up) makes Ti springs for the 888.
Mojo makes a 999r cart for the 888 that uses a Ti spring in one variation... maybe that's what you're thinking of.
Try PM'ing Vitox - I know I've spoken with him about this (the Boxxer Ti spring conversion) in the past 6 months...

yea the thing about the 999 is that it doesnt work for the 2006 888 rc2x, which is the fork i want.
heh...
Have you even gone to Mojo's website to check the 999 out?
It definitely works with any 888 out there. All it does is replace the internals.

so how would it work for the 888 rc2x though, seeing how the mojo 999r only gives you a rebound.
Lol...
You don't read what is posted above much do you?
Go back to the MOJO uk. thread you just posted in and scroll up.
Silly.

whatever model, year or configuration of 888 you have you can now have a 999R just like very best!
That is straight from the mojo website, i'm just a littel slow and had to figure it out myself. So by reading that it should work for the 888 rc2x.

Exactly, young Jedi.
Now go back to the MOJO uk. thread by degoose, and you'll see all the tech, info about how the 999r cart works.

a company like Pohl or RCS could probably make some for you, just give them the proper specs (rate, length and max OD/min ID)
ive got that modded fork here, it works but you have to do some non-reversible mods (cutting it) to the spring spacer cylinder.
ill try to get you guys some pictures maybe on tuesday.

Vitox - so it was you I had this conversation with. As I recall you even mapped out the corresponding spring weights from Boxxer to 888. I'd love to see some pics.
lol - yeah I was getting a little frustrated there with SB... my bad. My apologies, SB.

yea all i would really want to do is lighten the fork to around 6.5 pounds by putting in ti springs, i dont really want to spend 500+ dollars to revamp the internals of an already great fork.

I know - but I'm a strong proponent of being cool to talk to when I'm on RM.
But even I have my limitations when people are too lazy to read info that's right in front of them - or in the same thread they just posted in...
Yeah, I know - it's spoon-feeding info, but I want to try and help the kids gain some knowledge. In spite of themselves.
