I got one from Go-ride for $650. It's easily the best shock I've owned. ...Now I know how the moto guys can case 90ft triples and ride away. It's not possible to get bucked from a hard landing using this shock. ...Well I guess if you really suckFor those who have bought a Cane Creek Double Barrel aftermarket, who did you purchase it from (direct or a distributor,) and how much did you pay? I'm thinking about retiring my DHX and trying one.
DAVE NOOOOOOOO!!!!! You can't do that! not unless I get one too that is!For those who have bought a Cane Creek Double Barrel aftermarket, who did you purchase it from (direct or a distributor,) and how much did you pay? I'm thinking about retiring my DHX and trying one.
Sorry Dude.DAVE NOOOOOOOO!!!!! You can't do that! not unless I get one too that is!
Sounds good man. Thanks for the info.I'd recommend going direct.
Call Malcolm Hadley at 828-684-3551 and order direct. It will give you the chance to get direct feedback on your particular application and to make sure you get the right set of shims to mate to your particular frame.
Tell him Butch sent you.
Cane Creek will supply the reducers. They use the ball-joint reducers up to a certain width and then go to very slick 3-piece alloy reducers for wider mounts.CCDB is gonna be my next shock as well. In terms of shock bushings, are they sourced from Cane Creek or the frame fabricator?
Sick. So you just have to tell them what frame you have basically? What if its a one-off frame or low production qty frame? Just the width specs?Cane Creek will supply the reducers. They use the ball-joint reducers up to a certain width and then go to very slick 3-piece alloy reducers for wider mounts.
Mine came with one full sleeve 3 piece aluminum bushing for the top, but the bottom had the old style two piece aluminum deal... I was a bit dissapointed because this type wears out DU bushings like crazy... Basically I wont run them. I'll have to buy new ones or use the ones already on the frame. What type did the rest of you get?Cane Creek will supply the reducers. They use the ball-joint reducers up to a certain width and then go to very slick 3-piece alloy reducers for wider mounts.

No ti spring, the best upgrade I've ever made.Is that $650 w/ ti spring?
how big of a difference is it really over a fox dhx? I've been debating getting a ti spring for my dhx or selling it and getting a ccdb.
well that's what dampening is....energy absorber...now try to convince everyone elseNo ti spring, the best upgrade I've ever made.
Cane Creek uses the phrase energy absorber to describe dampening... That's the best term I've heard and they are absolutely right. You can jump into some crazy ****, and the shock with just absorb everything leaving you in complete control. My first time out I cased a 25ft step down by about 2ft... When I came back and looked I didn't believe it was my tire mark. I hardly felt the landing, the shock just took it.
cane creek quoted me $850usd for the ti spring version and $650usd for the regular steel spring unit...its worth the price though...too bad it won't work on my sunday...So is the rebound like the 5the shocks that everyone was racing about a few years ago or do compression and rebound differ from both a 5th and dhx 5? Those are the only 2 that I am familiar with.
How much extra is the ti spring?
I'm running a Ti spring on my DHX. If I get a CCDB hopefully the Ti spring will work on it. I'll have to check if there are any differences in the ID and OD.
You're right, but I do believe in this shock and the guys at Cane Creak are pretty cool.well that's what dampening is....energy absorber...now try to convince everyone else
The guys at cane creek are beyond helpful and very cool. They helped me fit and tune a cloud nine shock in to a UAV for my senior project. I can only imagine what would have happened if I had called fox.You're right, but I do believe in this shock and the guys at Cane Creak are pretty cool.
wont work, sorry.
I've seen them work with Mantiou ti springs. The problem is you're probably 50lbs over what you need once you move over to the CCDB.My Ti spring is a Manitou, Does this make a difference??????
