Thanks! After Jim's words on how it could change handling etc. I am thinking it may be just too much of a leap into the unknown. Tim On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 6:45 AM, clayton wrote: > > > > On Jan 27, 12:03 pm, Timothy Whalen wrote: > > Clayton, > > > > I've thought about doing the same thing t

The Softride stems aren't in production anymore. The ones that're for sale on the website are NOS. I wanted a 9/8"er for my mountain bike and I had to go to eBay. They're not that hard to find there (in various lengths). They're great for general off-road riding on bumpy trails IMO. Shaun Meehan

Wow, I had no idea those were still in production. I had one on my MB-2 and it was great, especially on washboard type stuff. It might work well on an Atlantis or Bombadil. --mike On Jan 27, 11:14 am, jim g wrote: > Have you considered a Softride Suspension Stem? > > That'd be cheaper, and prob

Just as a general thing to keep in mind, that Quadra probably has at most 40-60 mm's of travel, where newer forks probably start at 80 mm. All these things will effect steering and handling significantly. (And you can get an idea of "true" travel by putting a ziptie on the the stanchion and going

Clayton, I've thought about doing the same thing to my Atlantis. Where are you finding a White Bros. shock with 1" steerer? Thanks, Tim On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 12:14 PM, jim g wrote: > > Have you considered a Softride Suspension Stem? > > That'd be cheaper, and probably more harmonious with a R

Have you considered a Softride Suspension Stem? That'd be cheaper, and probably more harmonious with a Rivendell. http://www.softride.com/bikes/bike_accessories/powerstem.html Other sizes/models can be found on Ebay. -Jim G On Jan 27, 7:21 am, clayton wrote: > I haven't seen any Rivendells

No leads on a 1" suspension fork. But I defintely would like to recommend that you post a picture or two of your suspended 'lantis. That's something I've never seen before. Shaun Meehan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to t
