So you have a large frame then? If not I'm pretty sure you just buy the lower link for the large frame and that's it.
Hope you make it from a good strong hardwood.

I have the link on my Boot'r. Its the little aluminum block in the lower linkage. A longer block slacks the head tube and lowers the bike a bit. Its rad
What, is this a secret or something? I have no intentions to buy one since I don't actually have the bike, and thought someone here could pipe up a quick answer. No reason for me to bug the big guy at Mongoose for something that I'm curious about. Bike mods are interesting to me, is the main reason I asked.
one of the guys on the old East Coast Mongoose Tribe team used to make them up at the machine shop he worked at. Here are the numbers it generated.
I used to have on on an older Boot'R. In 2010/11 and after they actually changed the head angle and BB height to get to the numbers that the 09 Boot'R had with the modification because more people liked the slack and low edition.
47mm Freedom
Link for Boot'r/Pinn'r
HT Angle: -0.5 Deg.
ST Angle: -0.5 Deg.
BB Height: -7mm
WB: +4.5mm

Ahh that makes more sense, All it really does is drop the BB height a bit and make the rear end a tiny bit longer, so more stable with a lower COG I would guess are the benefits.
Really? They seem to sell quite well in Australia but where I ride the numbers do seem to have dropped in the last 2-3yrs.
Yeah, unfortunately. Seemed like they were doing a good job recovering what used to be sweet brand, i was rooting for them here in the US and definately interested in the bikes.
Sorry to resurrect thread, but for anyone interested in getting a Freedom Link you can email Jirka Sedlacek @ BIKEHAZARD@bikehazard.cz . Takes @ 4-6 weeks to produce, comes raw aluminum, can also be ordered following ano colors: black, red, gold or blue (colors may take longer). Price was quoted to me 36EUR without
postage.
I recently purchased a new 09 Pinn'r Apprentice frame (no shock) from from nashbar.com for $185 shipped, have been searching hard to find a source for the Freedom Link and aside from having is made myself this is the only source.
Plans are to run the Freedom link and short shock with 8.5x2.5 shock (should fit), with a 170mm Lyrik. Stoked.
