I was looking forward to getting the new version of it that mojo suspension is making, but I inquired about it last week and they said that it had been sidelined by the new fox dh forks (mojo is the big fox distributor in the uk). It should be out eventually, hopefully.ChrisRobin said:
I hope it comes out becasue it looks pretty sick.RD3 said:
Are they designing a whole new fork based on the Fat design, or essentially copying the construction but just modernizing the internals?RD3 said:
that bike is crazy! glad to see people still building BIG bikes for the sake of just having something fun to ride. excellent job!RD3 said:
Can we get some pictures of the fork?Pau11y said:Hey RD, I've been messing w/ my Dirt Quad fork and got some insights for ya:
Apparantly, I had an IFP version from Marc Weir. Found a depression on the spring legs' (in the IFP one, the spring is in the right leg) stanchion so I bought another non-IFP Quad ($400.00 w/ frt wheel, stem and 6" kit, and spare spring). The non-IFP version had rebound dampening and spring in one leg and a dummy leg for the other. I took my original IFP rebound damper leg, and the spring/dampener leg of the non-IFP fork and made one fork good fork. In the non-IFP, I flipped the piston over and re-shimmed so now I've got a compression dampener w/ a pretty soft spring for my left leg, and an IFP rebound dampener on the right. I also changed the oil to Spectra Gold 2.5 wt. It feel soooo much better than my old setup.
I really want those new carbon protectors on the X1
The saddle is an azonic love seat, the new models look a little different than this one. Why didn't you like the hope brakes? Mine work really good after I burned them in. The magura brakes are great too, my friend has a set. Post some new pics of your Hood when you get the new wheel built up, it sounds like a very trick set-up you will have.sh*t scared said:
Right, the original mr dirt dropouts were 17mm and it used as special hub. The mojo version has regular 20mm dropouts. I have some custom adapters to let me run any 20mm hub on my fork. The crowns (a very strong, yet light design) and the uppers on the mojo fork are basically the same, the lowers from the mojo version should fit into the older uppers. The internals are where the similarities end. The mojo has some super sweet ti internals with performance improvements all around. For its application the mr dirt is pretty light, usually around 8.5lbs, so the mojo version should be a little lighter.ChrisRobin said:
I had a 6ti and a Mono m4 on the rear. I found that here in Spain, some of the rides are real steep and technical, so you are on the brakes an awful lot of the time, and when i needed an 'extra' handful of stopping (you know, rounding a corner, and big 30" rock in the way) the 6ti had no more to offer. I changed the hoses to goodridge, pads to EBC, bled them and re-shimmed them until i was blue in the face, but just couldn´t get the amount of bite I wanted. So i am awaiting delivery of my Gustavs. I am also considering a fork like the Mr Dirt. How do you find the performance compared to say a monster T, oh, and how did you get the siesmic to fit it?RD3 said:
I ahve used a Mr Dirt Quad Bypass. By the way it was set up, it was much softer than a Monster T, softer than my Shiver even but it might have just had been the way it was set up by the previous rider.sh*t scared said:
I'm not sure how many were made w/ the IFP, but it seems like it's a "works" fork. Also, and this may have just been how Marc had set his up, but it was wicked stiff and not compliant at all over small stuff. I've been looking for springs for mine for forever, and finally found something that might work w the FAT from Progressive. They have a whole list of springs. I just need to measure out one from Mr. Dirt (have several) and figure out the rate somehow. I'm running the spring that came from the non-IFP fork I bought now and it's MUCH softer. It was so much so that I was a bit worried about bottoming. This is what prompted me to rig up some sort of compression dampener. There will have to be some fine tuning, maybe to the extent of me getting out my dremel and making it a Quint Bypass on the compression side to increase the speed of it going down (altho I haven't explored other shim stack configs yet).RD3 said:
It doesn't look any different than your regular FAT, except I have a dial/knob on top of each leg instead of just one.DH biker said:
