nothin beats a weightweenie with steal beaded tires and dh tubes 
edit, im an idiot
Eren - check out the first page of this thread - I have it set up like one giant list of specs, info, parts... damn near everything you could think of.

im about youre weight and i run 350# spring with no preload
i found the 300# wallowed (sp?) in the travel too much, i thought thats how it was meant to ride until my LBS recommended i try the 350
and it works a treat.
I changed to the 350 when i was 175lb now being 190lb with gear it is definately much better then the stock 300
side note: where did you find that spring calculator you used?
So here are the weights of the EX1750 wheels as spec'd on the Sunday World Cup - 110x20mm front = 845g, 150x12mm rear = 1015g. More than the claimed weight on the DT Swiss website, but that is with a 135x10mm 240 rear hub and the 150x12mm version uses the 340 rear hub. The difference in hub weight is basically the difference in the two wheel weights. 1860g is still pretty darn light for a DH race wheel setup.
Thay's lighter than I'd have thought would come on a dh bike. Impressive...
but rear rim won't last too long... that's for sure 
In your situation, I'd run the 275lb spring with a couple turns of preload. Recommendations for Sunday sag are what Nugget posted.
hey hey sunday owners....
got a problem, seem to have a small amount of side to side movment comming form the DWlink.. ins not at the shock mount its on the pivot back form that (infront of the wheel) took it apart, bearings are fine and spacers are there...
any ideas what it could be, or how it could be fixed???????
thanks

Have the same problem the spacer isn't quite wide enough you need another one that is a fraction of the width to fix it. A good way to tell if it is this is take it all apart and feel how smooth the bearings run then put back together but still not attached to the bike and see if bearings have gone rough if this is the case then when you tighten it the bearings aren't running square as they should be. The way i solved it was to push one bearing out a touch and then get a new spacer either the same already there or smaller and then tighten up with that in. The bearing will then get seated where it should be and run smooth once tightened up. Bit of a strange way to fix but it does work and shouldn't cause any issues. Hope this helps.
RM & macduck,
We saw this happen on a run of frame last year. We remedied it with the use of some spacers made in different sizes. Call up Mike L in warranty (or email mikel@ironhorsebikes.com) and ask for the 05/06 Sunday main pivot spacers. The ones you'll need are the colored ones (each color is a slightly different width). This will fit your problem.

hye thanks bud, may be abit of a prob as im in england but will have to see...
yeah there is a bit of a space goin on there, but spacers should sort it not prob...
oh Ska todd i need ur help, i have a slight knock noise when my shock gets back to the top of its travel, its somthign on the frame touching, or is it the shock...im sure its not the shock becuse it has just been tftuned(oh and i dont run stupid fast rebound i like it pritty slow)...the linkages are all tight, and there is zero vertical play??help
thanks

Did they replace your shock bushings?hye thanks bud, may be abit of a prob as im in england but will have to see...

I think this is covered somewhere back in this mega-thread somewhere but, it could be one of three things:
1. upper shock bolt / shock reducer tolerance - If using a stock hardware and stock bolt, you may need a "big bolt" to cinch it down tight. You can get these thru Jim Walker (our UK distro) or thru Iron Horse warranty.
2. shock DU - If these are chowdered out and the reducers easily slip in/out of them, then this can cause some knock.
3. internal shock prob or running low, low pressure on a 5th - You said you just got the bike back from TFT. Did you check the pressure and make sure it's set right?
-ska todd
ive checked the bushings there all super tight and new...
lol what can it be
lol what can it be
yeah well the 5th i had taken apart and had all the platform vaving taken out, so its just shim shock now like a fox rc (it works amazing) but it still has pressure in it, i will check and see if its att eh same rate they left it at, even though it wont do much f i changed it...
the du are new, the bolts are all the upgraded ones and the bolts are tighening really well and are allowing no movment...
uhmmmm
thanks for the help btw
oh not been rude but jim walker are crap...really are why did you leave perce cycles(or did they leave u) they are so helpfull and know so much about your bikes, jim walker are a bunch of idiots sorry...

Does the colour Monster Green has a RAL number or any other identity code?
I would like to let my fork paint to match the frame

Technically 57.5mm, but any of those will work fine.
Just trying to find out what the optimum chainline dimension should be for a 2007 Sunday frame, so i set my cranks up correctly
as i'm not too sure if the shop has set my cranks up right
I looked on the FSA website for installation instructions for the megaexo quad BB'S and gravity gap cranks but only has the instruction sheets for 68/73 bb's not 83mm bb's so no info on spacer positions
I have a FSA megaexo quad bb that has 2 x 2.5mm spacers on the
non drive side and no spacers on the driveside giving me a chainline
approx 55mm, does this sound correct or should the chainline be more closer to 57.5mm by moving one of the spacers from the non-driveside
to the driveside ?

I can't figure this out! when i pick up the back of my bike off the ground, it feels like my rear shock did not extend all the way and drops maybe a centimeter or two. I also feel it when i jump or do drops.
i thought it was the shock but i put a swinger on there and it does the same thing. any ideas what it could be???
if this has been covered before ..my apologies.. i was cross eyed by the time i got to the 10th page!!!!

Does anyone know the weight of the frame, shock, rear axle and seat clamp for the 07 factory frames?
No headsets or other stuff.
Sorry is its been asked before, i can't seem to find it..

No. it would not work properly. Perhaps they should contact Fox in North America for details on the Sunday tune.
The guys at fluidride in seattle have one on the wall if you are that serious.
if i use just a off the shelf dhx5.0
what problems am i going to encounter.
I am running one I pulled off a SOCOM and it feels dialed on my 06 Factory. I ran a Sunday DHX last season and I don't notice the difference. I'm real picky about suspension setup, too. This may be in part to me running a stiffer spring, though.
Thanks mate
i may not have too much of a choice
seeing nobody i have spoken to in Australia
including the Australia fox service centre (dirtworks)
knows anything about the Sunday Tune
i'll probably will be running a 400 x 3.25 spring
as i about 240lbs (110kg) with gear

Jungle, you can compensate by running zero Pro-Pedal on a regular DHX. Hopefully the left hand will eventually be aware of what the right hand is doind at Fox soon with regards to offering a "Sunday Tune".
The "Sunday Tune" (1/3 compression & rebound) of a regular DHX is done by Fox but those shocks go directly to Iron Horse for the production of Sundays.
If you've got the cash I'm pretty sure Tim Flooks at TFTunedshox.com in England offers the "Sunday Tune" for DHX shocks:
