Oh yeah. Progressive rear, and high quality shimstacks works so good.

Push Industries and why you need them
- Thread starter Gun Show
- Start date
On my RFX, Darren set it up pretty stiff - which works great - it's much stiffer than the Romic was if I just try to flex it without riding, but it actually feels better on trails and drops than the Romic
so I think the answer to your question is, for my RFX, yes
my XCE is set up a little less stiff, which makes sense for an XC bike...
Keep going at him, Luc will snap
No he won't, he's too worried about the shocks weight.
I got my shock pushed... I have 2 RC's so I decided to get one done and if don't like it, I still have my old shock. They sent me back the shock today. I can't wait to get it!
that sounds just like someone i know
Sounds like me, at 14lbs for the frame, i dont think any amount of money could make me a strong sub 40lbs bike
And brian has told me, hes bought 4 new scales inthe past 3 weeks
mine does weigh less than yours already
well maybe not as of tomorrow Brian if you build with my parts spec 75% of the parts on your bike are already the same as mine, your army will break 40
My Army is fairly light, weighs in @ 43lbs.Originally posted by ViolentVolante

Listen to you, you're the one who was weighing your Romic, I told you to look into an Avy and you said they were too heavy. One day you'll see the light and stop playing games with these toy shocksOriginally posted by Acadian
omfg...listen to you! I'm not the one that is all of a sudden upgrading everything on my bike just to make it lighter. How many digital scales have you bought lately?
I have used alot of light components on my bike, so I can add some extra where it's needed most.

So how much does it cost for sevicing a Vanilla,cause my XC rig is hurting for a shock make-over
You need to stress that with Mr. Luc.
Luc will come to his senses and get an avy when he gets off the internet, rides his bike and his romic blows up.
:devil: sorry luc im an ass
LOL, whats the news on the Disco?Originally posted by ViolentVolante

Still not sold
:angry: But in pieces
many many pieces
Lighter than your pieces
But anyways, the lambda is guranteed (sp?) to arrive before noon today , its being built up, then taken on an urban drop to flat hell ride from 1pm-1am downtown Chicago

I just reliazed it, i have a hammer in the picture of tools, ummm, ya everyone uses hammers to work on high end bikes
Did you pull the Disco apart using those cresent wrenches & hammer? I'm scared to see how the Lambada goes togetherOriginally posted by ViolentVolante

haha, actually, the big ass truvativ BB tool is too big to make it usable with a socket driver, so thats what the gargantuan cresent wrench is for, and well brian as for the hammer, you had a disco, you know how much of a bitch it is to get a headset out, that took a while, and yes, the lambda goes together with the same tools :devil:
Well, UPS paid me a visit at work today. (Not sure if the shipping/receiving/mail room staff have caught on to my ways yet..... 
neaky: ) Soooo....without further adeu, my Fly with a "Pushed" RC....

Because Steve "Thats not a shovel, it a jump" Wentz Says So
is there anything more special about it other than the external reservoir?
because from what i see on the picture, someone took a saw to a normal RC, threaded the two parts, got some brass couplings from a hydraulics supply store (or from an avy) and connected the parts.
which is of course the way to do it, but doesnt make for a different shock.
you can usually feel a bit of harshness with fully closed rebound, but its hard to tell a diff within the useful range of rebound adjustment though
on the avy i havent felt the comp/reb contamination but most definitely on the fox, the romic im not positive at all but with the range that rebound adjuster has id be very surprised if the compression stroke doesnt get contaminated at full closed rebound, thats of course very irrelevant since nobody uses the bikes with the rebound fully closed.
all of the internals are all new prototype ones, theyre undergoing the patent process, thats why only race teams can get those shocks
wow now thats a lot more intesting
any news on how the pushed rc`s are holding up? because thats the only thing that could ruin the party for the pushers, its the same idea as an avy so it would be interesting to see how it holds up since the structure and the oil volume is so much smaller.
anyone have an idea on how the stacks inside are? straight, pyramid, double pyramids, etc etc?
Hey Monkeys,
Take a look at surfinguru's picture of the parts that Push took out
of the Fox shock. In the middle there is a piston with holes in it that has a shim that partially covers the holes. When this shim covers the holes it restricts oil flow and decreases the performance of the shock. Why does Fox do this? Because it only costs .001 cents to do it and in production shocks, it's good enough.
Part of the Push upgrade is to offer a piston that is completely performance driven and does not have any shortcuts like an off the shelf production shock.
Seriously, the season is in full swing, the word is out and Push
is working round the clock making shocks better for the riding community to enjoy plush Push performance. I'll be at Hollywood sports BMX track Wednesday night with my Rail, and Pushed shock if anyone wants to see to believe.

buddy you just described how all shim stack valve cores ive seen work, thats fox, risse, avy, rs, manitou, etc.
how does the push valve work?
im a bit puzzled because you say that the restriction of oil flow equates to lesser performance, but then again how can you get damping if you dont restrict the oil flow?
It looks to me like the PUSH race upgrade uses a two stage main piston. I think this makes it possible to make two independet shimstacks for high and low speed compression.
This is only what I think.
And, restrickting oilflows over to the reservoir have been the biggest problems with previous Vanillas.
I would love to hear some more solid facts from Mr Push himself, regarding the DHR shock as well.
