I don't know what fox did to my Sunday tuned DHX when they rebuild it in February but it feels a lot more controlled all through the travel. Could just be that it was wearing out at the end of last season.

I can hear the phone stampede now....
i just threw down for a new set of links, good bye gobs of lateral play in the rear end, stripped out bolts, and crunchy bearings!
suprisingly only 4 sets had been sold when i called, not much of a phone stampede really...
now the bike should be feeling good for the Open

Sorry about that.
Sorry about that.
Just got my F7 linkage kit today. I am very impressed with the improvements from an ease of use and functionality standpoint. Everything went together nice & clean. There are no instructions but it's pretty self explanatory and the torque spec sheet on the first page of this thread has a nice detailed view. I was so stoked to get them installed that I didn't take detailed shots of the cool new bearings and shock hardware but I was pretty impressed. This is a well designed system. Big improvement and worth the coin IMO. Here is a shot of what you get in the kit.
One thing that I overlooked is that it doesn't come with the required shock reducers. Guess they can't include them as they don't know what everyone is running. Now to source some 10mmx30mm reducers.

If you need reducers get in touch with MikeL: MikeL@ironhorsebikes.com and he should be able to hook you up with the appropriate hardware.
Glad you like the new links, and yup - they are a step up from the old ones.

reducers are supplied by the shock manufacturers...
Hey guys, just a heads up, we are right smack in the middle of a move
. I kept the link kits from getting packed for as long as I could but they are PACKED UP and I wont see them for at least 1-2 weeks. I have started a back order list in my outlook and I will contact those who have sent emails once I have access to them again.
I have been getting a lot of questions about pricing, the cost on the kit is 360.00$ + shipping (depends where you are). This includes the new linkages and all pivots and bearings. We do ship international. Shipping varies and I will do my best to get quotes on that as fast as possible. Typically, its somewhere in between the 15-30$ range.
As far as reducers go, I do not have reducers for these...Sorry guys, as stated those come from the shock manufacturers. You will need 30x10 for the new kit
Thanks

If by supplied you mean not in stock anywhere, then yeah, they are supplied by the manufacturer.reducers are supplied by the shock manufacturers...
I am having some made. Everybody is waiting on Fox who does not have them in stock. Pce,
For 10mm shock hardware, if you drill out your 8mm hardware with a 9.8mm drill bit then you can ream the hardware with a 10mm hand reamer. A 3/8 drill bit might work to, but you will have to be careful on the ream because you'll be taking a 025mm cut. I bought a 10mm hand reamer and drill bit from McMaster Carr.
Hope this helps.

Well great...I ordered some reducers from Fox this morning. Can I assume I ordered the wrong parts?If by supplied you mean not in stock anywhere, then yeah, they are supplied by the manufacturer.
First page of this thread.
hey guys, Im 5 foot 6 and I really needed a bike but I could only get the medium sunday, I got it and its all built and Im trying to make the best of it. Do you guys think I can get away with it and is there anything I can do to make it feels a bit smaller? thanks!
move the seat up on the rails. and adjust your stem do its closer, the direct mounts have a little adjustment
I received the pins and spacers I had made for my new F7 linkage kit today. They are super simple and work/fit great.
Bike feels really nice and solid, I am super impressed. Thanks IH for making a past purchase upgradeable and keeping the R&D up. Kudos!
While I am at it, here is the fender I made from a cut-up GT Lobo downtube. When I worked there every single thermo blew up but I always like the material for making neat little bike parts like extended shifter paddles and stuff. It's easy to work with and cut up.

Pce,
Run the lowest possible bar and stem to reduce hand to foot distance. Remove the headset dust cover and run only 3x silver microspacers. EA70 lowrise bars are great. SIC integrated or Thomson Elite stems are about as low as you'll get, and stick to 50mm.
so came accross this today. anyone from IH ska todd and peeps, why did you guys switch out the cranks, and wheels and go dust to gloss finish on the 07 teams? and the linkage color, not that any of it matters, haha
sorry about the big picture

I'm in search of such a chainstay coffer with THE/DW-link printed on it.
Anybody got an id where to get one, please shout it out to me.
Ride on, Roy
ps:who know's the seatpostclamp diameter for the sunday?

I could do with some help with some suggested settings for my Sunday please...
I've used the suggestions in the first link, but i'm having real issues with the shock blowing through all its travel & not ramping up.
It's an '06 Factory frame, with a 5th Elephant, '06 links, upgraded bolts etc if that makes any difference.
I'm probably 185lbs with kit, running a 350lbs spring.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm... the guidelines on the first page are just a starting point - have you tried going with more pressure in the air chamber (120 psi) or increasing the High Speed compression? If you have done all of that and are still bottoming, then I would go with a higher spring rate of 400#.
Eren - the bikes that you see at Interbike (where that photo came from) are not always the final iteration of what the product line whill look like at the time of production. Keen observations, however.
I got the new linkage kit and bearings installed on my 05 Sunday w/ Roco. Thought some of your would like to see some pics. Turns out Fox did get me the right shock reducers and they're first class! As you can see from the pic they are stepped. Within the "step" is a rubber o-ring to seal out dirt. Much nicer than I expected. I was worried the reducers would only work for a Fox shock, but it worked perfectly with my Roco.
The linkage kit went together easy. I used the drawings from the first page of this thread to help me identify which parts went where. The whole thing is waaaay better than the old version. Much simpler and sets up tight, yet smooth. I can even run the compression adjuster on the Roco now!
Sorry, I didn't get any shots of the Fox shock reducer kit. If you need to know exact part numbers, drop me a pm. But the Fox dude knew what I needed when I said "Sunday 2007 Linkage kit shock reducers".
OH yeah, if you're replacing the bearings like I did, be sure you have yourself a nice bearing press. Either bought or make one yourself and be sure it is large enough for the biggest bearings by the BB. Also, do yourself a favor and pick yourself up a socket big enough for the jumbo hex pivot caps. I used an adjustable wrench, but a socket would be much better.

pimptastic. I'm gonna order some!
As a general announcement to everyone, I'm going to compile a list of the reducer kits from Fox and post them up by the end of the week.
Should make things a bit easier.
