Just an FYI for everybody. I found out today that an ex Progressive employee bought all the Ti MTB springs and is selling them on Ebay. Looks like he is starting the auctions at $25.

are the springs for progressive shocks or will they fit rocos and dhx's
and are these babys legit?

 

[in the trees]

I got one from him. He's been selling them for a good portion of the season - I was watching. The selling prices seem to go up and down quite a bit on them.

They are legit - new Progressive ti springs (at least mine was).

I got one too. Guy is great, go get yer ti stuff off him.

 

[Sverre]

Do they fit the dhx?

 

[saruti]

He does not have a 300x 3.0
Will a 300x2.75 will fit the Sunday?

I don't have a sunday, but...
Go look on your current spring. See if it is a true 3.0", or what fox does sometimes, a 2.8". Then message Ti spring guy and see if it is a 2.75", or a 2.8". Boom.

Also, check your free-length and available threaded shock-body length.

On my CCDB I got a Ti spring that is over 1" shorter than the stock steel one. I was able to do this because the CCDB has a lot of the shock body threaded, so I could simply screw the preload nut down a few turns. The spring still has proper clearance, and is actually designed to compress .05" more then the stock steel spring.

Is ti spring a bit softer than steel? If my steel spring is a 300, should I take a 350 ti one?

ti and steel are the same rate. 300=300

 

[dexterq20]

Of course he doesn't have the spring that I'd need for my bike

 

[Total Heckler]

too bad they dont have weights for us 200lbs people. No 550 for me. =[

you need a new low ratio bike. my last bike was 2.5-1 and i used a 325. i'm 170.

The Progressive Ti springs use a small ID measurement than the DHX. The Progressive Ti spring I had fit a older Fox Vanilla really well, but tended to rub on the DHX. Ti is pretty abrasive stuff when it is rubbing on aluminum.

What about roco?

 

[Urinal Mint]

Damn, I don't think any of those work for my 7Point7, which has a DHX 5.0 2.75" x 8.75". The free length on the 2.75" ti spring is only 6.35"...

 

[Tmeyer]

What about roco?

Anyone??

 

[jcook90]

pretty sure those wont work on an avy DHS...damn.

 

[in the trees]

What about roco?

Mine went on a Roco. So far so good.

Bought one for my BR. Good spring, good deal, good eBayer. Now I wish he had a 450 x 3"

which weighs more, a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers...?

um, the 8.75" refers to the length between the eyelets of your shock, where the shock bolts into the frame. the length the spring you're using now is probably around 6.5"

it'll work..
