[c.o.d51]

sweet man, i saw you there on sat. i was the kid with the avy on his sunday as well. sundays with chubies rock

 

[julian_dh]

how dose it compare to the fox or 5th?

 

[Bicyclist]

Well pretty much anything is better than a 5th, and I bet it's fairly similar to a DHX.

 

[hungryleprican]

is the 5th really that bad? cause when i get a sunday im wondering do i need to replace it right away or do i even need to

 

[Eren]

^^ 07 dont come with 5th's i dont think, i know the expert comes with a vanilla r, but yea 5th went outa business im pretty sure.

 

[hungryleprican]

no i know
im thinking about getting fluidride's sunday cause its selling for only 3100 and ive got a good game plan to figure somthing out with them but im just curious about the one on the 06 sunday

 

[XGrantX]

A proppery valved top end 5th still to me feels better in my sunday than dhx. Its a personal preference.

 

[RaID]

nice colour scheme you got going there

post up a review after a few months riding definately interested about the performance comparisson to a DHX

That's what happens when you bike has too many Sundays.

Are the Chubies better than the Avy with a remote resevior?

 

[jonKranked]

platform shocks (5th element) were basically created to compensate for the poor pedaling performance offered by single pivot bikes (like a SC bullit). now that overall shock technology is much better, the need for platform damping has essentially been eliminated. </e-speculation>

don't think so. I think it was created for frames where you couldn't fit the remote resi.

 

[BikerBoy28]

Thats a sick looking bike! Take care of it.

havent tried the dhx but the 5th that came on my bike was not great... the avalanche chubie is much better in all aspects...

cant go to diablo this weekend because i have to spend some time with the wife and kid.......ive been there every weekend since the park opened...the following w/e i will be there....

Avalanche told me it doesnt fit I really didnt want to take the chance and try... its a very expensive shock even more when you get it custom tuned....

 

[Salami]

, but yea 5th went outa business im pretty sure.

Who the hell is 5th???

Are you refering to Progressive who is very much still in business? Progressive is no longer making 5th Element MTB shocks but is still making all of their other products.

Well,as far as MTN bikers are concerned they are out of our business !
