Hmm close? The shock is reversed and no hose. I think it'll just come down to Yoke width and mount sizing.

@link1896 Do you have anything in your collection to help this bloke out ?

Thanks tkdbboy... but I'd be very surprised if all those planets could be aligned. It looks quite different to that.Hmm close? The shock is reversed and no hose. I think it'll just come down to Yoke width and mount sizing.
In a way, I'm keen to see if the Bike Yoke and DT Swiss shock is any good... who knows it might be even more awesomerer.

I can make bushings, seems bushings are the only issue?
I'll PM the lazmo. He's super close to me too.

I thought by small chance you might of had some spare parts lying around as you like playing with those specific shocks.

I'm growing another bike, already had this frame running in the past.

Looked at my future wheels, 26" of coarse.
Rims showed up but no go for the spokes

Impressed with the finish on the Spank Spikes, was expecting a lot less.

I've only owned some Spank high riser bars but never had a pair of rims in my hands.

Built up some Spank Spike 33 earlier this year. I agree the finish was great. They were nice and round too.Looked at my future wheels, 26" of coarse.

Mine was great quality and started out round but didn't remain this way for long, was installed on the rear of a DH bike though, I suspect it would have faired better on the enduro.

I have heard that they can be a bit soft but I'm generally not overly hard on rims, even if they dent I'll knock the dent out and keep on riding them.

The bead walls fold with decent impact, but the structure of the wheel stays intact. They are bloody tough rims.
I carnaged mine at Buller (Oozy 345) and just straightened the bead walls and tweaked a few spokes and have been running then for about 6 months since. I bought spare rims, but these are doing fine so have not bothered to build them up.

Did 35km at Derby never get tired of that place, thought I'd better get some K's in the legs after I entered the ews qualifier in November. If today is anything to go by I'm going to struggle but it should be a bit of fun. The new pump track looks amazing I thinks it's time for a n+1 upgrade just to ride the pump track the enduro bike will be to much hard work.

Definitely was able to gently heat and whack out some pretty sizeable dings, they held up really well considering the abuse they suffered, I wouldn't have any problem recommending them for anything other than downhill.

Gave up on the Bontrager saddle that came with it. Which is a bastard as I really like the shape and it's comfy to sit on all day. But the bloody thing gives me saddle sores, must be juuuust slightly putting pressure on the wrong bits. Spent two weeks off of it while my forks were getting repaired and they went away.
The roadie's Selle Italia SLR is now on it, I'll give it a couple of weeks and if that fixes the problem I'll buy it a fresh one.
