Title: Rockshox Conversion
Post by: MadCowKev on February 02, 2007, 09:39:43 am
Orange has given me  apicture of an 857 with a Rockshox rear damper unit. Can anyone supply the necessary 'eye to cone' adapter?

tel, theyre too long for an xpx, depending on the size of the home made adaptor (they dont have the cone mount for the strut bikes) i would say a shock of around 165mm i2i would be required. im thinking of making myself an adaptor at work when im less busy than i am now! if i get it made i could possibly run a small batch off if anyone would be interested.

depending on the shock that came with the bike you may be able to remove the "cone" from the bottom of it.
