You can't be possibly leaving the rear disc on there are you? Just a little ghetto? Nice build however. Looks pretty badass:thumbsup:

Help with shock

Hi all, I am new to the forum. I have a GT Lts-2 1996 I think and I would like to upgrade the rear shock to one that locks. Can I still get one? anyone know a model?

Thanks!

TheButcha - if you've got the same frame as mine, highly recommend the Fox Float RP2. I lock mine using the propedal settings and am able to adjust things like rebound

Hi all,

First time post on MTBR - but have drawn a lot of inspiration from here.

My childhood rebuild was brought to modern day specs and is now 99% complete. The specs looks as follows:

Frame: 1996 GT LTS-3 Never built up before this. The swingarm has been modified to have a disc mount (thanks to GripSport in Melbourne, Victoria)
Rear shock - Fox Float RP2 with Propedal (140mm e-to-e)
Headset: Tioga
Fork: RST F1rst Platinum RL
Cranks: Truactiv Stylo with external BB
Cassette: SRAM PC990
Shifters: Front - XTR M960 dual controls, Rear - XT M775 dual controls
Rims: Easton XC One with Schwalbe Rocket Rons 2.1s
Brakes: Front - XT M775, Rear - XT M775 (mounted on courtesy of GripSport. Thank you Jon!)
Pedals: XT
Stem: Easton EA50
Seatpost: FSA FR200
Handlebar: Specialized Carbon flat bars
Saddle: Fizik Tundra
Weight: 11.3kgs

Last few changes will be:
- Stem
- Seatpost
- BETD bearing kit for the pivot points (to get rid of the bushings)

Should bring it down to 11kgs exact - and that will be it!

sweet build! I really like it. I have been looking for awhile for a new rear shock and have had no luck what so ever. I'm jealous of your Fox float RP2

I bought mine from CRC a few years ago.. I believe the 140mm shocks were used on the Cannondales..

To answer your question above about disc brakes.. I had mounts welded on.. And never regretted it.. I initially tried to use the A2Z adapter.. But it was too much of a hassle removing the rear wheel and the adapter kept on requiring readjustment...

So if you can.. To straight for a good welder who knows what he's doing.. Where are you located?

[superek4]

May i know how old is GT LTS-2

 

[johntheroadie]

For anyone who keeps wondering where is a replacement shock for your trunion-mount frame, here's your answer! I should've known that the answer was so simple to be found on ebay! Just take an old eye-to-eye shock and thread a trunion mount onto it! So simple!

I love the sellers response to the one question...

Q: is the rear shock completely, properly mounted?
A: Hi Yes, the rear shock have a special adapter from factory. That's the way it should be mounted Thanks

Now we know how it should be, so I don't want to hear any more questions about rear shocks. Item number 221124944622 for those who want it done right.

There's a good simple tip on the trunion....

It's been a while since I've been on here, and I've only read up to about page 8 on replies. I just bought a STS frame to build up instead of the LTS one that I still haven't gotten around to. I just moved and have a buddy that used to be a bike mechanic and he's gonna help me with the build in exchange for beer.
I'm curious if anyone has, or has a source for, the liners to guide the cables through the frame? I'd much rather get the routed the right way than have to zip tie them to the frame.
