okay guys heres the deal you have helped me in the past and ive got faith in you this time so dont let me down.okay i was planning on putting a slider plus on a ironhorse sgs team dh 03 frame. so needless to say i was stocked. but the prob is that the bike shop i orderd it threw said the guys they order them from were completely out of stock :mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :nuts: :nuts: :angry: :angry: :angry: :eviltongu .so it comes down to this. i wait untill they can talk to the guy again to see if he gets anymore or i can just settle for a boxxer. i would get a super t but the prob is that i just got a new diablos stem for the slider plus but its not comming and the super t only comes with an integrated stem. so boxxer now or hopefully slider plus later.

help me plz guys i want honest opinions

the stem on the super t comes off. i run a normal stem on mine.

 

[kidwoo]

Yup, there's no reason you can't run a regular stem with a super T

 

[mcA896]

if you want to wait...i would go for the slider. if you want a fork now, get the super t

 

[Matt D]

why not buy a used slider?

 

[me89]

so an 04 super ts INTEGRATED stem comes off now are we sure about this.cause if we are then i might just get it.and i dont want to buy used cause i can get a new one for about the same price cause i am working very closely with the owner of the shop. so thanks guys appreciat the input.

yes it comes off. get it, you wont be dissapointed.

 

[me89]

okay i will if the slider plus is unavailable. ohh and how much work are we lookin at to take it off
thanks

 

[jack123]

its just 4 bolts taht you take off with an allen key. not that big of a deal dude.

 

[DHracer1067]

it probly wont even be on there when you get it. but i bought mine used so i dont really know.

All it is a stem that bolts onto four holes in the crown, it is called 'integrated' because it does not clamp to the steerer tube, only to the upper fork crown.

I love my Super T, it wont let you down. I think that it is way better than the slider anyways - just feels more solid.

 

[kidwoo]

Super t is probably a better fork anyway. It will last you much longer with the exact same performance. Shermans are inconsitent in performance from what I've seen.

 

[vitox]

sell the RF stem and use the integrated one, you can run a standard or an oversize bar with the stock stem so unless you dont like the length (think its 55mm) i dont see any reason for keeping the diabolus unless youre fond of the flames.

i would also choose a super t over the slider, not too hot on the colors for 04 but its a good, relatively cheap for (meaning you can get 2 for a dorado180)

 

[quickneonrt]

I have seen too many shermans break, and guys get real hurt. Both dual crowns and single crown. I would never by a manitou go with the super t

can you back that up with pics? thats bs dude. whos feeding you this crap?

 

[DHracer1067]

go over to hcor. i think there have been 2 or 3 people that broke their slider +. i know atleast one was from a snapped arch.

 

[quickneonrt]

yes goto hcor. snapped stanchions, snapped arches one guy busted himself up pretty bad. I have also heard of them snapping at the steerer tube/crown

i stand corrected.

 

[mtbman4]

I have a pic of a sherman that snapped right through the lowers! I dont know how to post pics though

wait, i think i figured it out

 

[me89]

well got some good news for you guys. just order my super t today and i cant wait. i am keeping the diablos. the flams make my friends jelous lol. so thanks again and i will post pics of the finished product. so thanks again your guys input is always welcome here. :dancing:

and snapped stanchions. thats never a good thing glad i listened to you guys. and that pic looks grusum of that sherman. whew. im safe now
and marzoochi has good cs from what i hear.compared to manitou.****y customer service. peace and ride hard

 

[krustydude]

I agree with vitox. I had a Junior T and the integrated stem has two length setting and is fairly easy to change settings, just the four hex bolts. It feels super solid, being bolted to the upper crown and all. It's the way to go.

 

[me89]

sorry guys i just want to make my friends jelous what can i say so the diablos is goin on my bike. or i would deffinetly stick with the integrated stem. but thanks again for the input
