Yeah dude, the frame looks awesome like that!

What headset are you running with your boxxers? Im still using the one it came with but the stack height at the bottom of the head tube is is close to 2cm!
yea man... prolly the first thing i did after the boxxer. i got a reducer ring from specialized. makes the lower cup intergrated so its nice n tight now. specialized makes em so do a few other companies like e13. im just using a regular cane creek headset, the reducer ring replaces the lower cup, and the bearings fit flush inside..

Do you have any info or know any shops selling the reducer ring. I want to try out some boxxers on my stock big hit 3 09, dont really want to get a whole new headset. Was looking at getting a hope 1.5 lower cup and then a reducer.

I cant seem to find any reducer rings anymore.. Just reducer headsets... That may have to be the way to go. Link here http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=27650&category=502

i love yours! and well its pretty hefty. and i think big hits seem more dh than my norco. itd be pretty even to turn mine more dh or swap for a big hit and put duals on it. well cost anyway

Either use spring rate calculator on http://tftunedshox.com/info/spring_calculator.aspx

OR

ship a shock over from pinkbike in america as there is none anywhere else really but quite a few in america, cost me £10 dollars to ship it over in 10 days and the shock cost £80 (DHX 3 btw)
