cool, you only have to f**k up the geo, handling and ride characteristics, but you get that 9" of travel you've always wanted!!! sign me up!Jamsoul said:WHEN is dangerboy or someone else going to make after market linkages? That way you can get an extra inch out of the DW-Link?

Well, I haven't the patience for 06'... I always opt for the DIY approach, aka "the guinnea pig." After two tunes, I lost faith in the progressive shock. Bridgeport + Fox - warranty = buttery goodness. Ten consecutive days at Whistler, two broken lower pivot bolts, and I absolutly love this bike... I just can't see why a bike that is supposed to showcase such an efficient design would be spec'ed with a shock that's known to have an aggressive platform. I had to mill about 6mm from the lower linkage to fit the DHX sans propedal knob. The linkage is braced in that section so there was no concern on my part of losing structural integrity. At 165lbs rider weight, I ran 300lbs spring(stiffer than stock spec.), 180psi, 1-1.5 turns bottom, and no propedal.nixhexss said:BTW, checked out Todd's bike a few days ago, no ride cuz of multiple broken bones in me, but the new boxxer and the rear shock on that thing looked out of this world sensitive. I couldn't believe how lightly he was just tapping on the saddle to get a response from the shock , so damn supple. So there you have it, its worse than a parking lot test, its a visual examination.
would prefer a different fork than the 888. It would be nice to have seen a Fox 40 or Boxxer Team on there,
I would take an 06 boxxer team over a 888 any day. They're so trick.frznnomad said:dude please tell me your kiding. im not going to say anything about the fox 40 cause that would actually work. but the boxxer team what are you talking about. a boxxer team to replace an 888. dude thats not right. 888 sturdier fork, better warrenty, no spiking, better plusher feel, ohh and lets not forget more travel and more tunning options. dude i think you need some help. i mean come on dude.
ohh and about all the dhx stuff i was suprised but an awsome surprise. its like waking up on christmas morning and getting more stuff than you asked for. to ironhorse and the awsome sunday specs.
Boxxer spiking - you are living in the past man. They also have the same travel. If you know how to setup a Boxxer and how to maintain it its a good fork.frznnomad said:dude please tell me your kiding. im not going to say anything about the fox 40 cause that would actually work. but the boxxer team what are you talking about. a boxxer team to replace an 888. dude thats not right. 888 sturdier fork, better warrenty, no spiking, better plusher feel, ohh and lets not forget more travel and more tunning options. dude i think you need some help. i mean come on dude.

Well toothless, if you're talking about the chainring rubbing the flat portion of the upper guide plate, just take a grinding wheel to it. There should be some lines already scored into the plate to use as a guide. I've always had to re-work the plastic to get it to my liking. There are only a few chainring manufacturers that E-13 approves of (thickness wise) and I'm not sure if I.H. specs from that list. They didn't last year... As far as intentionally offsetting the spacers, I wouldn't do it... I'd be afraid of bending a tab or something. These Sundays run low so you can count on the lower boomerang taking some shots.toothless said:heh manwithgun, I wonder if you could help me out. I have the same Sunday frame as you and when building it up I had a devil of a time setting up the chainguide. It seems the upper guide parts are always pushed too far toward the chainring causing rubbing when the lower pulley lines up perfect. So as a fix right now I'm running one washer on the top chainguide mounting bolt hole and two on each of the bottom holes. I'm thinking I have one of the bad batch of frames where the uprights are welded too far apart. Anyone else on a Sunday have this issue?
the team boxxer has 8" this was done in this years models ie 2005frznnomad said:well there is a saying that goes a little something like this. the past repeats itself. so thats what im going off of, and i dont think that you have ridin an 06 boxxer either so how would you know it doesnt spike. all the info from the past leads us to believe that the 06 will be the same. ohh and he also said the team boxxer not the world cup. uless they have upgraded the team to the same travel and upgraded the tunning on the team then im stickin to what i said earlier.
but hey we all have our opinions and i personally like the 888 better than the boxxer and marzocchi has much better cs
I agree that the FOX feels good on the Sunday, that being said, you are likely to break your bike with your link machined like that. The Sunday is a lightweight and strong race bike. Its structure is optimized using complex FEA structural analysis, and verified through on-track testing. The links themselves are made from forged 7075-T6 aluminum, almost half the weight with more strength than the 6061 links on basically every other bike out there. Reducing the stiffness of the lower link changes the stress distribution in the frame and rear suspension. Your frame could have more load in places that it was never intended to. I would not be surprised if you crack your frame somewhere far away from the lower link.manwithgun said:Well, I haven't the patience for 06'...

Are all the problems sorted out with the Sunday frames that people have been having with the 05's?.

Jeez, those guys at pinkbike will post anything.
