Please flip your Shock

Please flip your Shock

Why?

Maybe he wants to adjust it?

you can still adjust it from the top if you flip it, plus your bashy there stays un modified (usually a good thing).

just be careful with those carbon levers i have already broken (about $100 to replace) i emailed Twenty6 and they said that an elixer lever will be coming out in the next month.

still looks nice

i have two bashys so its all good. i have been tossing up the idea flipping it back but i have riddin a few glories with the shock the normal way and i swear this feels 10x better...just hope i dont break my levers haha

 

[aidz44]

if it works for you, then run / ride with it

 

[mitch_46]

hey man, looks soo nice, i saw you at stromlo when you picked it up, then pushed up lol, (we were in the white hilux with the blue trailer) hope it rides as good as it looks, shame it started pissing down

 

[virgin321]

wow.. That glory is so nice... the WCs look awesome

Lower unsprung weight, several top dudes run it this way (or so i'm told)

Seriously, nicest glory ever. The asking price on that bike made me wonder if it was actually made out of chewing gum shaped like all those trick parts. So much money spent

hey mate sweet bike, how much did your maxle cost, did it save much weight and did you need to buy a new hanger for it.

cheers

Nice bike mate,

A bit off topic but can somebody please explain why the glory's have don't have a symmetrical down tube (not head tube), very evident in the last pic. Its as if the down tube flairs at different points running down the tube.

 

[sram001]

its designed to house a big 1.5 head set to take the load, whilst the upper is still 1 1/8 for weight saving....

Im not too sure how much they cost but its a S load lighter than the orginal one, It might come with hangers but not too sure... but you cant run the standid ones because it nees thread to lock it on.

The downtube is offset to the left for driveline packaging/chainline reasons. It has to be offset because it still needs to be wide enough for the shock to fit through. The shock is also offset to the left and both upper and lower links are also assymetric.

 

[L14M]

nice..... very nice, the yellow rims really make it stand out

 

[RiLiZe]

man i was looking at that but it looks soo sick and u got a bargain!

 

[mic9754]

fully sram except fox dhx 5

The offset shock is to make the bike more balanced right? to compensate for the rear shifted for the chainline + drivetrain being on one side?

Man that bike is just sex in wheels....
And also is that black paint on the top tube been custom sprayed because the 09 glory's ive seen are all blue on the top tube

 

[wootown]
