a dhx should work, u could also get your vanilla re built by www.pushindustries.com

go dhx if u want more adjustability, but if u like the rc and just need a shock then get the rc push'ed

What kind of bike build do you have, what kind of riding do you do, does weight matter...

I'd go DHX or DHX air if it's your main bike and you pedal. If it's a pure shuttle vehicle or you push it uphill, then I'd check out the new Marzocchi Roco.

 

[Ace_Jellyfish]

weight isnt an issue and i do pedal a lot. i cant get it pushed. push industries said its past repare

 

[MX 887]

hmm since you can't push it i would say dhx

Eye-to-Eye?

I'd go DHX if you're pedaling on it. I've got one on my Mini-Free and it's done me well. What's the eye-to-eye measurement on your shock? Measure from the middle of one eye to the middle of the other. That's the measurement you need to find out if you can fit a DHX.

im talking about it hitting my frame

 

[damion]

What size frame?

It should not be a problem, unless it is a small frame. I have an XL 2003 Gemini, with a 5th coil.

The stock size is 7.875x2.25.
My shock is a 8.0x2.25", and it BARELY fits in the long travel position.

i believe they make a 7.875x2.25 version, ill have to check

 

[kntr]

Avalanche Montie. It is reasonably priced and light. Plus, you can have it valved for your bike, weight and riding style.

yeah they do, http://www.ride-this.com/Fox_Racing_DHX_5_0_02-020280003.html

i dont see the 8x2.25

if u are talking about the resivoir fitting, then i think they make a remote resivoir so u can mount the resivour to the frame or something

well i have a medium and im thinking about getting a DHX probably and they have huge resivors, i think theyre bigger than 5ths? i dont want to buy a shock to only have it dent my frame when fully compressed

call up fox and just ask them, even if someone gives a strait answer, u should still call them, im pretty sure that they make remote resivoirs so u can mount it on the frame somewhere, if not then the only other option is to get a different shock, if it comes down to taht try the 5th cvt5, one of my friends has one of them and he loves it

 

[damion]

Sure they do.

At the time, it was not available. (out of stock)

I went with the 8x2.25 because we are only talking 125 thousands of an inch longer eye-to-eye.

That was 2 years ago. THe 8.0 may no longer be in production.
