does it mean, my 9.5x3 " Fox DHX with remote reservoir will fit?its a mount for a shock shuttle, you can have those made to accomodate a variety of shock sizes/strokes.

9" wont fit either btw
So did he try it?kyle said a 9/3 avy might fit with minor modification
Where did you get that? Can PDC get them now?but a remote reservoir dhx will fit if its the 8,75" version.
trust me i have tried.
Medium = 45.19" with a 7" boxxer, as stock.What's a 2003 Big Hit wheel base?
it doesnt need any, like ffatman says, the upright keeps all mud away, i posted some pictures of that 13 months ago, search for it, they should be aroundyou need to fab up some sort of fender to protect your shock from all that mud. It will at least help to prolong the life of your shock.

I talked to kyle about this a while back and it seemed like a no-can-do.
Would really move the PDC up my list for next years frame if it'll fit a DHX, even if it has to be remote. But I didn't think they were available (short of modding the remote res off a turner onto a normal 8.75 DHX).
Would be so cool if he changed it for 07 to take a normal res DHX, but I think that is impossible without slackening the seatube further or interrupting it.

Will be a little longer with an 8" fork, i'll measure my 03 DH with 06 Boxxer sometime tonight.
yes avy DHS fits, craig has done valvings for me and they work great. tried both single and double compression adjust.So will an Avy fit it?
I am honestly considering one as my FS DH Bike next year... how easy is it to whip around for the tight East Coast style woods?
Does anyone know the weight of the frameset?yeah, it works well in the tight stuff - 16-3/4" cs, low bb, cg & standover & slightly steeper ha make for a nimble package (mine spends most of its time on north shore trails).
kyle seems awol at the moment. i tried calling his shop line last week - to no avail, and i've gotten no response via email to his personal acct. hmmm.
Can you explain how that suspension design is with a little more words, since i don't know how the Extreme 8 works?the suspension design is very similar to an old cortina extreme 8 and the front triangle looks similar to the new triton
I love that bike. Frikkin beautiful.frame is 8.7lbs with no shock. with a 6-way & ti spring it's 10.5lbs.
i've been on mine for a full year now, with nary a problem. its been a fun ride. since i haven't posted it for at least a couple weeks:
What BB heights have you guys got on your builds. Actual head angles would be nice tooyeah, it works well in the tight stuff - 16-3/4" cs, low bb, cg & standover & slightly steeper ha make for a nimble package (mine spends most of its time on north shore trails).

last time I talked to kyle, admittedly a while ago, he said that the vast majority of their production frames were going to europe as they seem to be more willing to try new companies frames out than north americans....while there will always be a few people here and there willing to give em a go, most people here seem to want to stick to the tried and true frames that always crack anyway......as built, ha is about 65°, bb is 13 5/8".
thanks, ciaran! it's too bad the company hasn't been more aggressive. despite being built here, they really have no local presence - ie, no team riders, no advertising, and strangest of all, no local shops selling them. i had hoped they were ramping things up after last years impressive interbike debut, but they've been disconcertingly quiet.
its got paralel links, structurally similar to lots of other bikes, with the uniqueness of having the shock mounted to the swingarm instead of to a link.Why doesn't the owner of PDC Racing post here anymore?
Oh yeah, what type of a pivot is that on it? Does it have bad brake-jack etc?
when i first rode my 825 i couldn't get along very well with the 13.7" BB height my bike had, but now i love it, and i can't stop thinking about how whould it be if it were lower and slacker.gelbwurst: for all but the most utterly HA demanding applications id consider the 825 a tighter racing package than the ones you mention
What are the benefits of these links with the uniqueness of having the shock mounted to the swingarm instead of to a link?its got paralel links, structurally similar to lots of other bikes, with the uniqueness of having the shock mounted to the swingarm instead of to a link.
no brake jack to report back about id say.
