Re:
Aye Rob, that's what I hoped you'd have. The thing is you could easily fit a Lefty to your frame and ditch the existing shock for a modernish air one. That's what I ended up doing with mine all be it I was forced in to it when I discovered original cast/bonded swing-arm was cracked. I fitted a Jekyll swing-arm, frame already had a Fox air shock, and in the time I was waiting for swing-arm to turn up found a Lefty and wheel cheapo on ebay. I think the fitted Headshok it had, an air/oil shock, only had 70mm of travel compared to the over 100mm on rear, so the 100mm Titanium Lefty balanced it up a bit better. Nice comfy capable XC bike but able enough to ride down less extreme DH. Unlike the guy on board. :facepalm:
Do you want/trust :mrgreen: me to have a look at Headshok for you?
