If you are using 3 piece mounting hardware on you shock, stiction will remain constant irrespective of how tight you tighten the shock eye bolt.

 

Thanks Brian. If that's the case, I might as well tighten it fully to spec.

If anyone tries the needle bearing conversion kit please report back.

I think someone should give the needle bearing conversion a shot and write a review for the rest of us..*hint hint nudge nudge*

From what I have read, the needle bearing wear out quite quickly, so although the suspension will be very smooth, running cost and maintenance will increase.

 

I believe that the latest Fox mounting hardware manufactured from lubricant free polymers by IGUS, is the best compromise between smooth oscillation and durability.

Eyeballing a PYGA OneTen29... big envy..!

 

Is anyone with an XL willing to meet me on the Spruit so I can get a feel for the geometry? Would really love to take a quick spin and see how the fit feels... I have demo'd a coupla other XL bikes and they don't all fit so lekker, so would hate to take the plunge only to find...

I am 195cm.

 

Thanks...
