I remember we talked about dogs way back when at a Monkeyfest. We are now dog-less and are thinking about adopting a greyhound. Are y'all still involved with the GH rescue? If so, which one? Alternatively, is there one in the Boston area that you have worked with that you recommend?

Hi,

Saw one of your really old post and realized that you have a GT Distortion.

If it´s a large and you are considering selling I hope you can contact me.

I have US/UK/CAM shipping addresses if needed.

Cheers!

Hi mate,

do you still have the old linkage stuff for the iron horse?

I need the silver and black bearing retainer bolts for the forward lower mount

Cheers

I saw your post stating you have the 8 inch 9point8 post. I am curious if that is what you have on your large Nomad. I also have a large Nomad and have been in discussion with them about this post. Did some measurements for them and came to the conclusion it would fit just barely as long as I did my measuring correctly. Can you confirm that?

thanks,

Cody

Yes, prototype 8" 9point8 Fall Line on large Nomad3.

It has a really long outer tube. When I get home I'll check to see if it can slide all the way into the frame.

I saw your post about 27.5 wheels w/ 26 dropouts on the Spitfire. I'm thinking of doing the same thing as I like the numbers on the Spitfire except the chainstay length is too long for 275 wheels. Does the suspension performance change at all w/ the 275s in the 26 dropout? If you have the 275 dropouts, which one do you run more?

you will get a feeling for the purge process. my email is palexisls@hotmail.com, you can contact me there or thru facebook chat
ALEXIS_DH
the ideal oil volumen. that means 1-2mm of lost travel... but i think thats a good enough aproximation. if you do this several times
ALEXIS_DH
seep as much oil as necessary, UNTIL you can see some pressure being released from the rubber seal... that means you are 1-2ml past
ALEXIS_DH
in the negative chamber.... that means the shaft will be all the way in, and the rubber seal in the main body will be compressed
ALEXIS_DH
i forgot to say that, to begin; you should pump 1-2 bar into the positive AND (very important step here) have as close to ZERO pressure
ALEXIS_DH
its a matter of trial and error to know how much oil to purge... but i usually do this part with the shock installed on the bike
ALEXIS_DH
both screws have a tiny spring and valve underneath them... be VERY careful not to have more than 1-2 bar of air in the positive
ALEXIS_DH
and purge the extra oil (and air) thru the 2 screws (the ones with the inverted groove)
ALEXIS_DH
once, you have assembled the shock (With extra oil), pump a little air (like 2 bar is enough)
ALEXIS_DH
but its better to start with too much oil (and take little by little as much as you need), than to have too little oil
ALEXIS_DH
when both ifp are all the way down.. pour oil above them. that means you have overfilled the oil
ALEXIS_DH
to reassmble the equalizer, the best thing is to push both ifp all the way down (take out all the air from the positive chambers)
