btw, anybody got some general tips for the setup of that fork?
up to now i am still experimenting with that SPV stuff.

Thanks

nobody?

rode the bike for the first time today.
up to now the fork feels like crap!

Dorado x-works are pretty much on an indefinite hold... Every racer I've talked to who had one sent it back to Answer. Basically the forks, like the 6-ways got absolutely mangled by poor machining over in Asia. If you have an old fork you can throw on i'd run that and send your x-works back to Answer USA.

Suspect...whats up with the 6-ways??? I have one and now I am concerned.

ok i will write answers techsupport an email.
thanks.

btw whats up with the 6 ways?
the shock i have worked good today.

 

[SuspectDevice]

About 90% of 04 6ways leaked like siphons out of the high-low adjustment screws. This is due to metal flash ripping o-rings.

The factory fix is drilling out the ports wider to take a larger o-ring, deburring and using a larger outside piece on the needles. If your 6-way isn't doing this now, it never will, and you got a good shock.

This problem is fixed now, and shocks that shipped in June are OK.

leaked oil or leaked air pressure?

DHF 7/8 Ti

DHF 7/8 Ti

:devil:

looks like it...
hopefully there's a fix for this from manitou
i like the swinger though.
different feel then avalanche but good.

leaked oil or leaked air pressure?

Well, Oil mostly. Your shock isn't defective, or you'd already know it by now, they were just plain ole bad out of the box.

 

[punkassean]

I didn't think so but glad to be sure!

Thanks!

mine works pretty well for big hits but for small bumbs it doesn't perform that well. should i send it back? great excuse to buy a bmx to ride until i get my fork back if i did send it away

Apparently DHF8 Ti's are very tall due to a really thick lower crown.
Apparently a 200mm 888R with risse crowns is significantly shorter than the DHF8. The dorado SPV is probably even shorter.

ok i have an Avalanche DHF 8 its not that tall, or better you can make it tall but still ride it pretty low, it will probably be taller then the Dorado but not that much
