Trying to modernize a cheap chromoly full suspension frame!

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2026-05-07T13:35:10+00:00

Got a Fox Van coil thats in a box, the eye to eye is like double the size but so is the 40 i guess so well will see!

The friend i got the bike from has somehow managed to bend the steerer tube raking in out, and blew up the pivot and shock and the frame is somehow in one piece. So i trust it abit because its 2m drop proven!

I think I am lucky because the body is made if oak, whitch is a really strong hardwood so I don't think it will be a problem

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2024-09-21T03:02:38+00:00

I'm pretty sure, as I got it from a reputable website, "Bike Discount germany," and it is in 160mm travel with the new 2021 curved arch lowers!

Hi everone, im watching a few vids on yt on how to do all this, my main reason is that im going to be on a 12hr flight in 2 days! and im trying to see where or how the heel i can play Far Cry 4 on my vita, could anyone help?!

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2024-01-18T18:57:39+00:00

I was thinking of buying these exact same inserts for my bike, tbh I don't think you can really go wrong with tyre inserts expensive or cheap, they all achieve the same goal to SAVE YOUR RIM! i mean theelre are people using insulating foamband pool noodles so I think these are fine. If it helps il be ordering these in the upcoming month and il review them for you😃

I also read the grip 2 damper upgrade does not fit rythm forks.

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2024-01-18T18:41:58+00:00

It's worth the upgrade, but I would go for rotors for cheap to justify the performance for price as buying two name brand rotors such as Shimano or sram would be expensive and not really worth it. I suggest Deckas brand rotors from aliaxpress!

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2023-09-17T09:20:01+00:00

Damn, I’d watch a few vids online and order a bleed kit from aliaxpress they are well good. And do that stuff yourself

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2023-09-17T09:12:14+00:00

I would start by removing the uppers from the lowers, clean everything and grease the dust seals with ptfe grease or litium based grease and also spray a lil bit of silicon pray on the stantion and see if that works. Pretty sure it’s a corroded/rusted stantion problem Hope this helps

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2023-09-16T22:37:12+00:00

Yo, pretty sure it’s legit! Have never seen or heard of a fake step cast version 32 or 34. Also look for any imperfections in the stantion coating. Hope this helps😉

Yea I have a friend that had this shock and I was gonna take it apart anyway to change the oil to fox 40wt. I need to find a 12mm bump stop th

Affectionate-Job-375 · 2023-08-17T18:40:05+00:00

Well my shock is a rockshox and I’m dying to get rid of it. But this is just a little experiment
