Nice bike.

Any mods required to fit the DHX Air 5.0?

Or was it a straight swap?

Is there a reason you replaced the equalizer shock besides the fact you work for FOX?

Again awesome bike....:)

That is the niciest Ransom I have ever seen. :eek: The carbon is one thing, but the parts, especially the white bits, absolutely amazing.

What steered you away from a white LG-1?

Firstly I put on a smaller RP23 air can because it has a pretty high leverage ratio and a degressive curve.
There was also some shims required with the mounting hardware as the sizes weren't standard.

Why?? The DHX has more adjustability and is a lot lighter to boot. The Equalizer was designed for an all mountain purpose with it's traction control, etc. I like the plushness of the DHX Air and with the propedal on/off lever it still has great pedalling efficiency!

Thanks for the comments.

I stand corrected!

Mine have the extra rise then! Never the less, they're solid, they're wide and they feel sweet.
