Yeah it's definitely a no go fitting it without either a different linkage designed for that stroke shock

They said the 250 x 75 was fine, however I'm pretty sure the guy who I spoke to had no knowledge of DH bikes (let alone the V4.2) despite working for the company that sold them

Yeah it is/was secondhand. Measured it up, the original shock on the bike is a 267x89, however commercial AUS still claim the air is fine, though the guy I spoke to has never actually fitted one so I'd rather speak to someone who has

Ballarat VIC

I spoke with them 2 weeks ago and they assured me it was a straight fit, however their English was a little broken and I'd rather double check it with someone who has actually done it firstly to ensure it's done properly

Currently has around 200psi in it

Hey Guys, Just after some help with shock fitment. I've got a mate who's just picked up a 2018 Supreme V4.2 with a coil shock and has also bought a Super Deluxe Air to put on the bike. The air shock is a 250mm x 75mm and according to the Commencal website it is the right length etc. However...

I've ridden and raced DH for over a decade, as has my brother, both running freeride tubes and neither of us has had a single flat in that time. I tried tubeless and blew up a wheel, so couple that with the mess it makes every time you need to change a tyre, I decided I'd rather stick with...

Ride update (comparing to my previous 2014 S-Works Demo) Positives Still blown away by the suspension every time I jump on the bike. It seems no matter how hard I have pushed it so far, the forks in particular have taken everything in their stride with ease. The sag keeps it beautifully supple...

Haha yeah, il take that!! I'll have to check what model etc I've only taken it out over the last weekend so far. Final build was finished last week. Probably won't be doing much/any climbing on it though, aside form riding back to the top of the track, usually I use do shuttled runs

Fair point, that's what I was told from the shop, never looked into whether that was correct or not

A few years back I put together a bike with my brother and our goal was to build our dream hardtail. Built as a 4x, use it for some xc, dirt jumps and pump track. 7 years later it's still going strong and I felt it time to build a new one up for myself. A few months of trolling over the net and...

No rock strikes yet. Time will tell, if i remember il post an update in a few months. They weren't overly expensive for pedals, so no big loss if they can't handle it.

Ahh ok, i'l look into that in future, cheers!! It's built towards a 4X setup that works as an allrounder. So wanted it fairly low at the front and use it between Pumptrack, XC and some Downhill. The seatpost remains uncut so it can be lifted or dropped as necessary (Not a huge fan of a dropper...
