good link!

If anyone in the US is buying some of these and would be willing to buy one for me and forward it to me in the UK, I would of course;
a) be grateful
and
b) repay them! (by Paypal)
This one would be good to have a spare of:
K2 NOLEEN Pro-Flex 02 Crosslink Pivot Axle kit
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390031146934 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390031146934)
Hopefully the seller will do combined/reduced postage for several kits to someone in the US and then it can be forwarded to me in the UK in a simple envelope, which should be pretty cheap? The seller is charging $11.87 to send one to the UK!
email me if you are up for doing this.

If that is 11.87 in US dollars, then I don't think you could get it much if any less.

the additional item rate is $2, if someone buys a few items the shared shipping costs should work out less than $11.87
If we had 5 items then the shipping should work out to just below $4 per item

I would like to put my name down for 1 kit if we can get a bulk order sorted.
I need 1 x RK005 for spares
Cheers

what are doing here guys....?should we ALL buy up a whole lotta kits have em somewhere in the states and dispense as required???I will be willing to put some $$$$ in
-
Be aware that some of these kits are more expensive than Iron Horse were selling them for.
All of the kits except the World cup pivot were $7.95 from Iron Horse.
Any one been in contact with Iron Horse recently to see what stock they have left?

I did buy 3 kits, and the seller combined shipping. I purchased Noleen megair parts which I know IronHorse will not have.
If you guys put together a list, I will purchase and resend North, South, East, and West to one destination each. Then whoever receives can dispense accordingly.

Ive had a look on Iron Horses web site but cant find anything to do with Proflex/K2. Do you have to email them with an enquiry?

afaik yes,check the stickied iron horse thread for the latest email

I've bought pretty much one of everything so I can look at manufacturing kits in the future when these spares run out.
-
I emailed the guy at IronHorse but no reply. Anyone have any luck?

I agree. I have all the kits I need, but it may be worth putting together a reserve. With Callum archiving some kits, I think we may be safe.
So far from within this forum we also have some alternatives to parts and service. Here is a few I can recall.
Springs and elastomer kits from RDI (Callum).
Simon's sealed bearing conversion poceedure.
Risse Racing for air shocks.
4500, 5500, Oz seatmast insert replacement proceedure.
Carbon swingarm loose lug rebonding.
OP's quick swingarm pivot regrease technique.
Any others?
Might be worth putting together a nice list and making a sticky?

I'm (trying to) make a kit that will allow a Fox RP23 to be added to a x57 frame (to replace NR2) - not quite there yet - need lots of fiddly parts to make the x57 frame accept the shock mountings. I've also got a carbon oz frame (some posters here owned it in the past!) that I am retrofitting parts to as well to make sure we have bikes that will last.
I'm not sure what to do with HammerHead kits. I've got some left but have stopped selling some of them due to lack of demand. Maybe everyone who was going to get one has one now. I might make a new batch if there is demand and then let the stock pile sink down to nil.

I mostly lurk here but the lack of a reliable part source for x57 and crosslinks has me worried enough do a bit about it. I am going to get some redundancy for the knowledge and contacts incase the forum decides to blow up or something unexpectdly happens.
Going to also stock up on some of the NOS ebay kits as well. Just wish I had stocked up earlier as I think the eBay ones are a lot more expensive than ironhorse if I recall correctly.
Hmm. Also glad to hear that RDS is looking into making a RP23 adaptor for the x57. Callum, can you keep the "Small" size frame in mind, as I understand there are differences in the noleen (shock body diameter?) used on small and other the sized frames.
