The GT STS Thread Members Bikes and Tech Info

I have found a Yeti DH8 frame, with this shock, and I am thinking about buying it only to swap the shock on my Lobo.

It seems that in race, they used this Pro Deluxe shock, but I don't find any picture.

Do you have an image to show, please ?
Thanks !

I saw that frame too and thought the same thing but it is too expensive!

I have never seen the Pro fitted to a Lobo. I will mount it on my spare frame later and show you.

Thank you for your answer Magsy, I will send you a PM for more info about your swap..

GT Later LTS / XCR / i-drive suspension supplement

In the past, there's been a few threads asking for help with assembly and maintenance of XCR rear ends.

Here is the GT suspension supplement for later LTS / XCR / i-drive models for reference:

Is the STS XCR frame prone to snapping seat tubes like the XCRs of the time ?

 

[Blackstar]

No answer from the above is a good sign

Does anyone know the eye-to-eye length of the rear shock on a small STS XCR 1000?

A Fox float 6.5" doesn't fit.

Either the lockout get squeezed into the hole under the seat tower, or the body near the air valve jams on the rear triangle, so there's no travel.

Is a SID needed to make it work?
