IamKazam Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Thanks for the reply guys. I ended up buying the arms with crome tie rods and axis fully adjustable long travel shocks (1 ride on them) w/shock covers for 1400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRI4life Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 when i cycled my lobo two front end i came up with 6 inches of travel. way over priced is correct. but top of the line is correct. its more of a handeling setup then a longtravel. i used raptor shocks with mine. you wont be dissapointed these arms are super strong.

IamKazam Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 DRI, I notice that your front end is very similar to the one I will be running. Any suggestions on how I shoud set mine up would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRI4life Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 you mean how your shocks should be setup.. theres no one way its all personal preferance. just make sure those shocks you bought are for your weight and type of riding you do.. other then that just mess around with the adjustments till you find out how you like it. i have the rebound cranked all the way up though. but thats me.

willow2679 Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 That system looks pretty trick But I find strange that Roll design before the elkas allways used C.Axis (even berore elka went out) with those arms and now they say that they always used elkas ?? doug eichner used C.Axis withthem I dont know I think you have to pic the brand of shocks you want but allways being sure that they are for that front end and your riding style and specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll more than likely switched to elkas but axis are ugly as shit... You couldn't have the fancy IMS ads with ugly shocks :baseball_original: ....

willow2679 Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 yea maybe, but to me the axis looks trickier than elkas (matter of personal choices I think) :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamKazam Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Either way, axis are still top of the line shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Either way, axis are still top of the line shocks. Oh ya... be sure to let us know how it works out..... I'd almost put 20$ it's gonna dump you over in the first hard corner.... You'll have to learn to ride all over again... in a good way...

peterlocal22 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 why do you think he will dump it in the first turn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 cause mike is a jerk. and who wants pretty little shocks anyways? would you like some flowerty stickers too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I didn't say he'd dump it.. I said it would dump him... That was meant to be taken lightly.. I guess people think im a jerk b/c I don't put smilies in my post anymore to emphasize certain things... I just hate the baseball theme... The first time I rode my 'shee with the full elka setup it dumped me right on my ass in the first corner.. I rolled... the bike didn't.... Cole, Ya i'll take some flowerdy stickers.. I'll put em on the shirt your girl gave me... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
