thank you for taking the time to show the photo's of the build. i didn't think of creating a clearance for the QR, i put the QR on the drive side. as with the machining needed for the horizontal adjustment of the caliper, my hayes lined up dead center so i had enough play to adjust in either direction about a millimeters worth. it's tough trying to design a part that will work in multiple applications without having the parts to measure and test those different applications. but excellent job. i wish the others that i sold a part to would show there photo's. it's kind of a cool thought that there are parts out there that came from my drawing paper. as for others who have chimed in on the subject, thank you for all your positive comments. i have this part on my bike and have yet to have any issues with it. and DR.Z i did find the actuall FOX rear shock adapters at cambria bike on the web and my FOX RP23 works like a charm. right now im waiting for my new front 8" brake rotor and caliper adapter to arrive so i can try the 2003 marzocchi bomber dirt jumper 1 front fork i found in mint condition on ebay for $130 bucks. i sold my bomber mx comp on CL for a hundred and ten. new fork has a QR 20 front axle that is so perfect with my hope pro 2 hubset. the mx comp wont allow an 8" rotor, 6" max but the DJ1 allows 8". brakes will be even stronger. plus the 2 more inches of travel mate up even better to the almost 5" travel of the rear end. I LOVE THIS BIKE. my wife told me yesterday she baught me SHIMANO XT CRANK for x-mas, so next week i will post a couple of pictures of the bike, i think i will be pretty much done upgrading it for a while then.Hey Dave

i think my frame is a large, that frame looks like a "way big". you should measure the top tube center to center and the seat tube center to center so we can compare.thank you for taking the time to show the photo's of the build. i didn't think of creating a clearance for the QR, i put the QR on the drive side. as with the machining needed for the horizontal adjustment of the caliper, my hayes lined up dead center so i had enough play to adjust in either direction about a millimeters worth. it's tough trying to design a part that will work in multiple applications without having the parts to measure and test those different applications. but excellent job. i wish the others that i sold a part to would show there photo's. it's kind of a cool thought that there are parts out there that came from my drawing paper. as for others who have chimed in on the subject, thank you for all your positive comments. i have this part on my bike and have yet to have any issues with it. and DR.Z i did find the actuall FOX rear shock adapters at cambria bike on the web and my FOX RP23 works like a charm. right now im waiting for my new front 8" brake rotor and caliper adapter to arrive so i can try the 2003 marzocchi bomber dirt jumper 1 front fork i found in mint condition on ebay for $130 bucks. i sold my bomber mx comp on CL for a hundred and ten. new fork has a QR 20 front axle that is so perfect with my hope pro 2 hubset. the mx comp wont allow an 8" rotor, 6" max but the DJ1 allows 8". brakes will be even stronger. plus the 2 more inches of travel mate up even better to the almost 5" travel of the rear end.

Shock Forks and the cranks sound like an awsome upgrade. Put a post up when your done. The rear adapter works great. , I put about 150 miles on the set up so far with no problem. I don't ever anticipate any issues with this mount Extremely nice fit and very secure The bit of machining I had to do was anticipated since each build is different. That's great that you found some prefabbed shock mounts for the fox RP. I like to do things the hard way. Not really. after you said you found some on Price Point I did some searching for rock shox mounts and found some by vivid. Exact size I could have used last year. I guess it's all part of the learning curve. I posted a new pic of my next project. I'll either start a new build if I can find the parts or increase my front frame to a large.
Thanks again Dan
