for my Proflex 5000 - Fantastic, totally corrected the geometry - feels so much more comfortable.  [smiley=nod.gif]

Ridden it on the road only so far, but will do a little off road this weekend.

I have an ODS unit with an Eibach 450lbs/in coil spring in excellent working order if anyone is interested in the UK for £30.

Wow, that thing fits like magic. Is that the stock upper mount system? I like the cut away seattube.

600lb spring would send me to the chiropracter. Does it work for you. I am 185 lbs and use a 400 lb spring.

Hi,
  does work fine. I am 15st so suits me.  Geometry is so much better now - I don't feel I am being chucked over the bars on downhill sections. [smiley=diaper.gif][smiley=nod.gif]

using bushings from an old Girvin ODS shock.
