DHX Air on a Sunday?
- Thread starter cogs
- Start date
Lower plates? Do you mean the lower rocker thingy or something on the front tri?
I was just thinking of posting the same thing.cogs said:
I would let some people do some testing on that stuff anyway even it did fit.cogs said:
I don't think that DHX air is gonna work well on all DH bikes.
And I can imagine bikes like the Sunday and DHR may be a couple of them that shock is not ideal for.
I bet a properly tuned DHX coil would feel sick on a Sunday though.
Maybe DW or Ska Todd have already tested the DHX air and will chime in here.
Why.......?cogs said:
I currently am running a DHX Air w/ proto 06 lower link on the Sunday. At this point I would hesitate to recommend running on it the Sunday for anything but a smooth course (say like Sea Otter). Maybe with some development time it can become a viable alternative to a standard DHX Coil or other coil spring shock, but for now I think it's still in the beginning stages of development for use on this bike.
Additionally, the air spring pressure and rebound adjustment are pretty much impossible to access while the shock is mounted on the bike, making tuning a slight PITA.

Should we expect Fox on the rear of the Sunday's or are you guys sticking to the custom 5ths? Ive heard rumors that Sram is thinking of buying progressive.ska todd said:

Ska T: Is the DHX air just too progressive for the sunday?
man im waiting for the hope suspension line (lol). they make evertything else in the book why not shocks.
I highly doubt a company of Hope's size has the resources to get into suspension.frznnomad said:
If somehow manitou's agreement wasn't transferrable.. I'm sure their lawyers would be in a big pile of poo poo.stoney98 said:
Generally all liabilities, licenses and whatnot are all transferred to the new owner.. unless someone is very sneaky.
neaky: dw, quit trying to sound so smart! Your making the rest of the industry look bad.dw said:
maybe Sram just wants a license to make a new RS Superduper Deluxe....stoney98 said:
When Thule (or whomever) bought Sportworks, even though we had signed contracts, our sponsorship ended right there. We even had orders already in that were canceled.Biscuit said:If somehow manitou's agreement wasn't transferrable.. I'm sure their lawyers would be in a big pile of poo poo.

two people had then on sundays in idaho ...it will work fine its just as compadible as anyother shock ...its not like the eye to eye is different or someshi* think poeple think!!! dumbAss**
Its not really a matter of fit, but more of a matter of the DW link matching up with fox air damping.tacobelldhr said:

For 99% of the riders on the planet earth that smash into stuff, but maybe not everything , i 'm not buying theese airshocks........i could see it for backcountry DH trekking that is it.....stoney98 said:
Otherwise, its the old "crank up the hype-o meter" and rake in the sales for FoxShox.....
that's a great app for it......but for a DH rig i'm not buying it at all....Renegade said:
Oil/Coil all the way for DH......performance of the shock is what is most important in DH.....
If the Fox Air DHX rides like an Oil/Coil that would be a revolution and immense sales will follow......we'll see though......
look a little closer. see the box like protrusion on the front of the seatpost, and the cable that drops down from it, which runs up to a handlebar mounted switch? It's a gravity dropper seatpost. I push a button, and can raise or lower the seatpost 3 3/4 inches, on the fly. A nice gizmo for a freeride bike.stoney98 said:
yea, I get that same comment everytime I post a pic of my bike.
^ thats a cool thing. I wonder if it's up to 200lbs of weight?
Linky to a website for the company? If not, whats the name and what sizes does it come in? and how is it actuated?
thanks

www.gravitydropper.com. I'm 185 without gear, been riding it for a year without any problems. The owner of the company is a real solid stand-up kind of guy. They standard length of drop is three inches [actually 2 and 3/4 inches] They also make 2 and 4 inch drops, I recently changed to the 4 inch one. A coil spring in the seatpost does the work. There are also two versions of the mechanism, the handlebar mounted remote switch like I have, and a less expensive seatpost mounted pull knob version. IMO, the handle version is the slick set-up, because you can raise or lower the post at the flick of a switch, while riding, without taking a hand of the grips. After mt second ride on it, I was sold on it. They are not cheap. But after you ride one for a while, you'll most likely believe it was worth it. The company offers a 30 day money back guarantee; if you don't like it, return it for a full refund.atrokz said:
I wonder what the chances are of it letting the spring loose and it nad's me..........
that being said, I also wonder what the strength of the spring is, because if its light, my last statement wouldn't wory me.

You are dum.stoney98 said:
Sorry couldn't resist.
MBA had a pretty positive review on those a while back.
I've been wanting one for my trail bike, but just can't bite the bullet.
I always stop to rest before downhills anyway.
