'24 grip 2 revalve. I'm not convinced it will solve all the damping issues with the 38 VVC damper, but it will give me more parts I can use to tinker with it.
Have the same laying around here since end of Nov for my 34 Grip 2 but winter dirt season sees me more on the durp bike than the trail scalpel so it's been collecting dust. Curious on what you have to tell about it.

I first have to set up my workshop, because I recently moved, and the new shed is more storage shed than workshop right now... but this kit is hard to find in europe. I was visiting my girlfriends family in Poland, where a bikeshop happened to have it in stock, so I figured I'd grab it for coming season.

New trail bike for my boy. He turned 14 the other day and is soon as tall as me...
:oops:
Time flies! The advantage is that we now share the same bike size.

This bike is almost completely build from left over, spare or second hand parts. Only new parts are the rear wheel and the front tire. I wouldn't build it much differently if it was for me :triniti: #spoiledkid

Let me know how it works out, I snagged one of those for the blowout 38 I got, although I'm tempted to just drop an MRP lift damper in it and call it a day
