Urgently Need a Cheap DH Frame Without a Shock

[mad_mike51]

Item: DH frame minus the shock to suit a DHX5
Location: I'm near Sydney, but COD postage is fine
Price range/Willing to Pay: anywhere up to $500 depending on the frame.
Extra Info: Would prefer 150mm x 12mm rear end or a 135mm QR, would also prefer a 1 1/8" headtube, but will consider a 1.5" frame. The frame has to fis a DHX5 into it.

PM or post in here, I don't mind.

Cheers.

what size/stroke DHX does this frame have to fit?

 

[mad_mike51]

3.25" stroke sorry it is the shock out of the 2006 Mongoose ECD.

No, that is not the shock stroke.

That is the maximum preload the coil can safely run on any given shock.

I.e. 3.25" - 3" = 0.25" of preload you can safely apply without danger of the coils binding.

If you measured your actual stroke you would find it's 3".

Just read the spring

I just measured its 9.5" eye to eye.
