Push Industries and why you need them

TWISTED · May 7, 2004

Sounds like good stuff. I would really be suprised if anything could work better than my 5th, but I keep hearing good stuff about these guys and I'm open minded.

Hey PUSH ! How about hooking me up with a demo for my 9point5?

EP?

bibs · May 7, 2004

I too have been hearing cool stuff about them threw the grapevine. Im getting curious.....I have a 04' DHR, my Romic feels good though...

Hrelp · May 7, 2004

Is the shock on the DHR a external resivoir?

Jeremy R · May 7, 2004

Yeah, which shock on your DHR did you get "Pushed?"

I had the Romic last year and it is truly an awesome shock. The biggest difference with the Push as compared to the Romic is that rebound and compression are completely independent in the Push shock.

Since the romic compression ajusts low-speed compression (with a blowoff obviously), it is a seperate adjustment from rebound, and does not affect it. I can't think of many shocks that have compression and rebound adjustments that are not independant, they usually are totally independant of each other.

Hopefully the biggest difference is reliabilty. :cool:

gun show, you're on the turner/honda team which sponsored by push, right?

Fox's, even Avys have the 'common bleed', which means theres somewhat of an interdependance, although hell if i can tell.

Hey Spomer...there needs to be more people like you around.

i just think sponsored riders should be blatantly obvious about their connections before plugging a product.

i don't doubt PUSH does wonders to a fox. i'd try it. i just read his review, was super stoked, then barely figured out he rides for them. doesn't mean what he says isn't true, it just turned me off.

sidenote...
OH CRAP RUMSFELD IS GETTING YELLED AT BY HIPPIES!!!

James | Go-Ride · May 7, 2004

VDub and Krispy have both Pushed out some of their shocks and thus far have been super impressed with the results. Has anybody seen one of the rebuilt shocks with the ti-nitride shaft? I've yet to have somebody pony up and buy it on top of the standard gutting and rebuild.

Jm_ · May 7, 2004

yeah, too bad my bike has a 5th, cause if it had an RC I'd probably "push" it.

Not that I think the 5th is better...but I ain't giving up a $500 shock.

kidwoo · May 7, 2004

So does PUSH sell shocks or only do upgrades with an existing RC that you send them? I need to track down a used RC or buy a new one right?

This is for joe public........me.

Incubus · May 7, 2004

Funny that this thread pops up today seeing that I just got my Pushed RC just minutes ago.

I weigh 200 and ride a bike with a 3:1 leverage ratio. I have free ride valving... I can barely compress the shock myself. I squeeze and it feels like the shock is full of concrete.

Question for everyone that's already pushed: Is this how yours felt as well?

this seems to be like Avys, where 'freeride' means its valved for super-duper drops, not just frolicking around chutes and ladders. I wish they would have a better description of how the shock will feel, cus it seems the 'DH' or 'DH-racing' tuning would work for most.

Yes I am a team rider,

The operative word is rider. I am fortunate enough to have access to the latest in suspension technology and I want to get the word out on how good it is. Not only do I want to talk about it, but as you read in my post, I have offered my factory rigs available to anyone who wants to try before they buy. If I didn't believe in it or if there were kinks yet to be worked out, I wouldn't have offered.

Most importantly, I want to create awareness that technology is developing and sites like this are the sounding board which many people gather their feedback.

Once again, Big Bear this weekend, or at the National anyone is welcome to ride my rig for themselves and experience the new technology.

I hope this post clearly takes me out of the sponsor Ho' category
and into the simple Bro' category.

Nicely put, I may look you up this weekend for a test ride. I've been toying with the idea of "Pushing" my Fox.

Hmmm... I hope it works out. Push have a list of the types of valving. I was under the impression that it went from softest to hardest, with XC being on one end and DH being on the other. Trail riding and FR being in the middle. I'm no Wade Simmons when it comes to drops, but it'd be nice for the shock to smooth out the trail a bit too.

In any case, I need to give it a try first... got to get a spring.......

Espen · May 7, 2004

Upgraded Vanillas are great for sure. PUSH got great review's so far. I like the feeling of a well constructed shimstack shock.

Some questions/comments:

- Any 3x9.5 awailable? Allmost every new DH bike uses this measures these days.

- No shocks/upgrades awailable for the DHR? A litle strange to use these bikes as test rigs on the shock, if they "never will go into production".

One for DT

Make room for different shocks on next prod run of the DHR!!! (DHX, DHS and others)

Maybe PUSH will make shocks for the next generation DHR's??

surfinguru · May 7, 2004

ARGH! I'm so rife with anticipation I can hardley wait. I sent my RC in on Tuesday to have the Race upgrade done. It should be here sometime today!! :thumb:

I'm assuming you just buy a 9.5 x 3.0 RC and send it in. PUSH doesn't "sell" shocks right?

I guess that's one good thing about my 03 DHR. I have a cavernous space for any shock.

Espen · May 7, 2004

I dont think Fox makes 3x9.5

MUCH.

I'll show you tomorrow.

ESPEN. I'm not sure if you need to custom order them or anything but I'm pretty sure they do exist. I need to call Fox about some other things today. I'll ask.

My shock valved for the disco's 3.4 leverage ratio is almost impossible to compress by hand.

As for this Ti nitrate coated shaft, i didnt even know about it, does anyone have detaisl (pics, cost) im getting a 8.75x2.75 RC pushed for my lambda and this might be another one of those bling things to blow my cash on :cool:

Yeah, The fox will fit in an 03'. The first shock we had was tested on Sven's 03 DHR because we didn't need the external resevoir kits yet. We had to make new pieces to fit the 04. The new pieces are differen't than fox which also adds performance. We were going to simply cut the resevoir off and connect them with a steel braided line, but we decided to spend some $$$ and do it push style. No short cuts! It'll be fun watching Darren develop new stuff in the seasons to come. He'd truely a mad scientist. He thinks of some far out sh$%. It's really cool to be involved so early on. He and Push will be around for a long long time.

I am also a sponsored rider by Push. But, to make one thing clear, we choose them, they didn't choose us. Same thing with all our components. We are a small enought team, where we can pick what we want to run because the riders run the team, not the manufacturer trying to make good with the OEMs. So basically we are just riders like you guys who put a team together ourselves. We just want to spead the good word yo'!

Preach on brother. We work the same way, and it is a great way to do things. you can wholeheartedly support people that you believe in. :thumb:

Exactly.... The one sponsor we don't have is for Rims. We've tried for 3 years go get Mavic, and they won't do it. We still run Mavic beause we believe they make the best rims. I'd much rather pay for products that work great than get someting free that is just ok. The only excuse we have if we loose is ourselves. The bike is as good or better than anything available, right down to the lock-on grips.

Same deal here with mavic, they said yes, then the local distributor who is in charge of things backed out basically. That blew. :rolleyes:

Besides that we are rockin it.

Yes.

Just saw one on a cuervo. Just ordered a few too.

Luc look at the area above the shock. That's all open space.

Try taking the spring off first

Brian HCM#1 · May 7, 2004

For a 9.5 x 3, does Push still use the stock shaft? I know on the new Fox DH shock it will be availible in that length.

Espen · May 7, 2004

Really?
There's room, even for a big Ava reservoir under the horisontal tube of the seattower on the 03. Like you know, on the 04 there's nothing.

I dont think they use the stock shaft, look at the fic from their site of the full race kit.

What's the difference between the race upgrade and the valving upgrade?
