Re:
I figured I'd repost some pics of my '98 FSR Ground Control and
my '98 FSR Max Backbone Elite since photobucket is holding all
the other ones hostage.
The '98 Ground Control has been upgraded to all XTR components
over the years, bought this one brand new in 1998-
The '98 FSR Elite has the linkage and disc brake seatstays taken from a 2001 FSR Enduro
(it's a direct swap, no modifications needed).
The whole rear end has sealed bearings and a BETD needle bearing in the main pivot,
no bushings anymore.
I have a 6.75" i2i x 1.75" stroke Fox shock on it (stock is 6.5"x1.5") that with the Enduro linkage
gives it 130mm of rear wheel travel.
The fork is a Rock Shox Sektor dual position coil that has been
converted to U-Turn coil with 110mm to 150mm travel.
