seem to have a little collection of forks gathering for the bike now. : : 1999 Marzochhi Bomber z2 (80mm) 1998 Pace Racing RC36 (90mm) 1999 Marzocchi Bomber z1 CR (100mm)
the z2 were only on the bike for a day or two, they dont have enough travel, also making the bike too low at the front and the colour scheme didnt match either.i didnt expect to find a pair of z1 to replace them so quickly
picture of my z1 fork, the picture doesn't really do them justice, the legs are really shiny
and my old pace racing fork. i really liked these fork, theyve never let me down the past two years. its a shame they have to go, but they just arent suitable for the Santa Cruz
got a chain device now. its a home made one, which is just a piece of metal cut to shape with a roller bolted on, but it does the job, and most importantly, it makes the bike look better
I've recently acquired one of these 1st gen heckler frames (99' I think..) and was thinking about swapping the swingarm. Do you know if the later (03'-07) swingarms will fit these older frames? Or do they mount up differently. I've run a bunch of searches and haven't found any solutions.

Cheers, and tbh I'm not sure about that. They did change the mounds on these in 98 or something and the get this swingarm to fit I had to change the shape of the swingarm mount a little with a file. It was a pain in the arse. I'd say get a swing arm from 99-02 to be on the safe side. They can run disks 99 onwards. Get some pictures of the frame uploaded and I'll have a look. Would make it easier for me to say

Thanks for the help man. I actually contacted Santa Cruz with the same question and they said it wouldn't work. I might look for a 99' or later swingarm for it so I can get the disc mounts.

Such a great build man. It's inspired me to pull my old Heckler off the garage wall and start the process of tearing down and refurbishing the frame. It appears to be the same year as yours. Probably 97'-98'. I think I'm just gonna keep it as a back up bike.

Looks tidy. Polish the swingarm and get some original parts on it. I'll sell you forks bars and stem if ur interested?

Thanks man. I'll keep that in mind. I've got a lot of parts laying around in the shop. I'm gonna see what I can scrap together with what I have. I don't know if it will be all original. I saw this in the Buy/Sell and kinda like it. I might go orange.
