Sealed damper 1 side onlyNateH said:
Ti spring,1 side only
No material where it doesn't need to be.
Still it makes you wonder..but it sure seems burly when you look at it,like the huge arch,dropouts,crowns,etc.

Acadian's one had an OZ of weed in each leg.
And at $1500 you have every right!NateH said:
I have big faith in this one though.
DHS, your avatar gives me nightmares about undead piggy souls from all the bacon and ham I've eaten over the years.
Man you guys are fast. Is Scott's DH40 tuning article up yet? I looked on the website but couldn't find it.

Well How do EA70 Bars hold up? They are light and a lot thinner than other Crappy AL alloys out there.NateH said:
Say, would anyone happen to know the total spring length, weight (not how much it weighs), ID & OD of the Ti spring would ya? I'm thinking I might be able to use it in my Mr Dirt FAT fork if I'm lucky.
Nate, Youll have to stop by our tent at one of the races..... 
Bacardi said:
So, just because Easton's EA70 bars are good, that means that this fork is going to be good since it's made of the same material?
Two frames made of an identical alloy don't perform the same... You can take the greatest, most expensive materials in the world and if you don't put 'em together right, you still get crap.
maybe you can do a durability test for us and take a hammer to itleprechaun said:
I would like to see a objective comparison test between the 40 and the 05 Boxxer.
dank oil bath damping system?-BB- said:
little do we know its not synthetic suspension oil in their either, its 100% pure hash oil :evil:punkassean said:dank oil bath damping system?
Heh. It doesn't really slow anything down, it just feels that way.punkassean said:dank oil bath damping system?
Any word on that 36 (now that you already bought a Sherman)? Last I heard was mid-March but the spotty arrival of the DH40's gives me hope they might come a little earlier...
Yes. Plus they have been hammering/Testing that fork all year....costs $$$$ tho.binary visions said:
My GF just got a Fox FX80(?) and if we turn the bike upside down, the fork will move, but when we bring it back rightside up, it cycles about 3 times then totaly locks out? I need to go through the manual to see if it gives any clues to this....caboverpete said:
No word yet....
I think they are/were working full time on both forks and I know they have fulfilled the OEM demand for both so I wouldn't be surprised to see the 36's show up soon! The Sherman is working good though so I'm in no rush....

Yea, i just heard about that the other day........ there will still be lots going on when he gets healed...NateH said:
Bacardi said:
WB uses ea70 since 03, and i didnt see it do any difference, really.
Yes, you should definitely do that...trailhacker said:
There won't be a DH 40 tuning article because they didn't leave anything for us to do to it!
And Scotty thinks it's ugly.
Because it is ugly.
I still think it's pimp but looking at my 05 888 on my bike i still have the warm fuzzy feeling. I'm a little jealous of the 2 compression adjusters though.It's like being able to adjust the compression sleeve on the 888 without removing the lowers,eccept for the fact that the adjuster preloads a spring on the valve stack instead of just covering some holes..OK i'm very jealous!!!
No oil height adjustments though....

The springs are HUGE-they aint gonna fit in yer fat.Pau11y said:
OD is 32mm,and they're 485mm/19"long
so do you guys take apart everything before you sell it? I know you're professionals and all but if I'm buying a brand new $1500 fork I want to be the first person to crack the top cap, the first person to move the lower crown... Thanks for being inquisitive though, so the rest of us can get a better idea of what these things really are. 
Ahh, so the tuning article will look like this:leprechaun said:
Step 1. Remove lowers and have them re-painted.
Step 2. Reinstall the lowers. You are done.
Hmmm . . . No drillings in the top crown to fit a direct-mount stem. Do I smell a new Go-Ride product???
in the trees said:
For such a ding-a-long thats a pretty slick observation.
I didn't catch that.
Anyway, sice the weight of the Fox is posted in this thread it has me curious of an accurate weight of a Monster-T as well .
Burly vs. Burly if you will.
We just got in a new Iron Horse 7. and chop sawed the frame down the middle to make sure the downtube wall thickness was thick enough for our customers, and to check the weld integrety.Kornphlake said:so do you guys take apart everything before you sell it?

Your fork is still in the box,we only took 1 of them apart. :evil:
You know this MAN!!!in the trees said:
Besides if someone can afford this fork they can aldo afford a Switch topcrown.
Don't forget the 40cc's of oil in each leg when installing the lowers.OGRipper said:Ahh, so the tuning article will look like this:

So if I ordered one from Fox today what do you think would be the ETA till it gets to me...
Before or after my 7 more weeks on crutches?
