not to be bustin a nut or anything, but a 5.0 with a TI coil is light than a 5.0 air
  • + 5
flag spoiledgoods (Jun 15, 2009 at 9:06)
Yes, but a DHX 5.0 DAMPER and Spring will run you about 500$ more then a air shock would have.
Ti springs are NOT cheap. Heck, aluminum isnt cheap, look at the cost of our bikes! hahaha.

flag m-c-soul-kid (Jun 15, 2009 at 15:15)
this is the truth, but when weight is a factor and cash isnt, TI is the only way

haha nice man! liking the red boxxers on it. I am thinking of getting my fox 40's custom painted in the winter to match the frame and get it re-stickered after. I have a friend that does custom airbrushing and stuff. I think it would look amazing if i did it!

im guessing 41 pounds
  • + 1
flag mmmmmm (Sep 1, 2009 at 19:11)
you guessed wrong. its 40.13. lol The only reasons its over 40 is because of all those metal spacers to i used to space out my floating hub. which added over a pound. I am getting a new wheel very soon so i will post up the proper weight then.
  • + 1
flag konastinkydeluxe08 (Sep 1, 2009 at 20:28)
i was close and a hub spacers arnt gonna throw you a pound

flag mmmmmm (Sep 1, 2009 at 21:19)
they aren't hub spacers. there fat ass metal washers from home depot lol they are very heavy.

flag kev-roberts (Sep 2, 2009 at 1:29)
direct mount stem would drop it below 40
  • + 1
flag mmmmmm (Sep 2, 2009 at 7:48)
i have a straitline stem and funn fatboy bars now. aswell as juicy 5's (all i could afford) instead of my heavy hayes..... so that could drop the weight even lower - http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3723070/ and with the crowns i have i don't think i can get a direct mount stem.

i got it without the rear shock because mine fit on it already. and probably because the price would be cheaper at the "head office" which is cove bike shop in north van

flag one25forlife (Sep 13, 2009 at 21:52)
hmm...looking at this...i notice, what if you bottom out...is there enough room for the canister of the shock to miss that bottom of the seat tube? im sure it is...but just doesnt look like it does
  • + 1
flag mmmmmm (Sep 13, 2009 at 22:18)
yea of course there is enough room. I mean look at this picture: here a coil shock is even closer to the seat tube and its fine. I took out all the air from my shock when setting it up and it never hit. The way that a cove shocker goes through its travel is when it is being compressed the path of the seat tube moves down on a backwords arch moving away from the shock. Plus the shock's stroke is compressing into the main chamber, making the the stroke smaller.

How does it ride? Im thinking about either a shocker or a commencal dh supreme, what would you say?

flag mmmmmm (Oct 3, 2009 at 18:59)
i really like the shocker. Its incredibly responsive and corners like a dream. Such a fun bike to ride. I haven't ridden the DH supreme so i couldn't tell you anything about it. But if you get the shocker you won't be disapointed.
