I recently picked up a brand new undead warranty replacement frame, but since it is a warranty replacement it has no shock. Which rear shocks are guys running / recommend?
I have no experience with the double barrel, and I'm coming off a V10c with RC4. Should I stick with what I know or try and go for a Vivid air? or another option?

Thanks in advanced.

I've been running the RC4. It works pretty good. If you get the Vivid make sure you get the correct tune. The Revolt was supposed to run the A tune. I have an A tune Vivid coil I'm going to give a try out, I just need to get the right spring weight

Thanks for for the responses. Is an "A" tune the same as "Low","medium", or "high" tune thats the only thing i've come across while looking for vivids.

Hi,
low compression and Tune A are the same

I ran a Vivid Air on my Revolt for a whole season and it was awesome!
I will get one for my Undead also..
Carsten at Sram Germany recomended mid compression for better mid stroke suspension

The A tune is the low compression/low rebound tune. RS differentiates between compression and rebound now for their tunes you can get Low, mid, high for either compression or rebound.

Try asking DW what tune would work best. I've sent him questions on twitter and he's gotten back to me.

Thx for the info but i'm still unsure about the size and here in germany i think, i dont have the chance for a test ride.. :(

I come from a freeride bike and the undead would be my first big bike. My actually bike is a RM Switch from 2007 in size small and with my size (5'8") the rocky seems sometimes a little bit too short for me. In some cases it feels like i would flip over the front wheel and sometimes i wished the frame were a little bit longer.

The undead frame is not cheap and i dont want to make the mistake to buy the wrong size!!!

I'm very thankful for every opinion or every tip from you all!!!!! Sorry for my bad english :) regards from germany ..

Mich, if you're 6' then a Large would be perfect!

Embarassing Deutsche-Fail EDIT: Sick Boy - a Medium frame would fit you perfectly.

That's SKC's frame including DT guard and shuttle guard installed - no shock (or dummy rod) or seatclamp, but I believe it includes the axle, chainstay protector, and all other hardware. It probably includes the headset cups too, maybe he can confirm.

It's probably worth subtracting the weight of the cups to compare with other frames, but either way it seems pretty light.

Indeed it does include the cups.

Here is mine. I like it lots. Most of the parts were carried over from my Revolt except new fork, handlebars 10 speed stuff, ti spring and new seat post. It needs moar carbonzz to compete with the rest of the internet bikes but for actual riding it is great. New cranks and brakes are next, and hopefully new wheels in the spring

end of this month, i will order my frame as a set with the fox40, finally !! this would be my first dh-bike and there are several questions for me about the setup i should choose:

1. till now, i don`t know which stem i should buy. i like the look of hope's "top crown" very much but i'm unsure if the front become too flat with this crown/stem? What`s your opinion about the hope and which stems do you use/recommend?

2. the frame comes with a adjustable headset and bb-height, which head angle and bb-height do you recommend at most?

3. i'm also unsure if i should kept the fox rc4 or if i should sell it for a good price and buy an air-shock (CC-DB or Vivid)?


thanks and greets from nuremberg
