My dad cut down the bushings that came with a Revox and they fit awesome despite using a dremel and sander.

Question: What spring do you guys around 180lb use? I'm using a 350lb spring and it sags pretty far despite good pressure in the piggyback. It doesn't feel right.

Here she is in her current state. The brakes are off because they are going to the shop to get bled.

I'm 185lb with a DHX 5 shock and a 450lb spring and it is just a little soft but very active.

Thanks guys! Looks like I gotta find a stiffer spring before hitting the mountain on Friday.

How do you guys route your rear brake? I'm thinking i'll do it like this to avoid the line getting near the crank and tire. Anybody without a front derailleur run it on the top tube?

Keep the line running on the inside. It'll be safer there.

I asked this a few pages back. I'm getting a 450 lb, 350lb was too plush.

They make BB mount adapters for ISGC mounts.
