Awesome bike man! I love those yeti's! What does the avalanche cartridge add to the boxxers?

chazdog (Feb 13, 2012 at 6:59)

replaces the whole damping system with a fully hydraulic speed sensitive damper. So its plusher than a regular boxxer, lighter, and fearues external low speed adjusters for rebound and compression. Its speed sensitive, so you hit things faster its gets stiffer to compensate, not wasting any travel. This damper has an optional mid tune as well (that can be adjusted internally) this tune reduces brake dive and holds the fork up in the travel, making it corner and jump better. Its a quality bit of kit

Woah sounds rather tempting! How much will it set me back ? :L

Brilliant write up

reckon I'll keep mine as standard for a bit before investing in a new cartridge!

chazdog (Feb 13, 2012 at 8:07)

i couldve done better, and the moment you finish you rmember the odd thing you forget to put in, but it'll do. Currently searching for a rear shock to match

tokaji (Feb 13, 2012 at 8:15)

I can't find anything to fault really! Not sure what it would be like on a yeti rail but a CCDB might be good with the almost limitless adjustability?

chazdog (Feb 13, 2012 at 8:19)

I think I'd go for an avalanche or a bos, i prefer simpler suspension to set up, still good, but simpler. A ccdb is also not the most maintenence free i dont think

tokaji (Feb 13, 2012 at 8:26)

Yeah a stoy would be amazing. i've heard the ccdb does need a bit of extra care

Its often in many peoples interest to not follow the crowd

chazdog (Jan 31, 2012 at 8:55)

I have 10,000,000lb of air you can have if you want. talk to me again if you run out of money. maybe part x for some 09 boxxer teams?

chazdog (Feb 1, 2012 at 12:59)

i'll take the air if its conatained in bubble wrap

rdeedubb (Jan 31, 2012 at 14:17)

Hey mate is the adjusters are the elixirs just painted or what? Cheers.

chazdog (Jan 31, 2012 at 15:58)

just painted, easy enough to remove if needed. will take em apart and do them properly at sum point

rdeedubb (Jan 31, 2012 at 14:17)

Are the adjusters on the elixirs even, sorry.

chazdog (Jan 31, 2012 at 15:58)

not atm, the rear needs a quick bleed

identiti-hugger (Mar 28, 2012 at 1:51)

chazdog (Mar 28, 2012 at 2:25)
