Title: ProPedal
Post by: RoentgenRanger on January 22, 2004, 02:24:45 am: Just acquired a new Vanilla R with ProPedal from ebay and got a couple rides in...WHAT A DIFFERENCE...it still weighs 33# but pedals sooo much better! Here's to damping that reduces or eliminates low frequency rider input [smiley=beer.gif]

How does it feel for small bump compliance???

Post by: RoentgenRanger on January 23, 2004, 08:17:07 am: Maybe a shade less compliant...hard to tell. I'll have to get a few more rides in...

Post by: numbnuts on January 26, 2004, 01:27:21 am: is this a straight swop or are any mod's needed, new bushings, filing etc. What size did u get and is it new or off another bike and at what price?

Post by: zulu on January 26, 2004, 02:36:32 am: I was able to ride the propedal and compared to the fox float rl it seemed to climb better yet not as well if you locked out the float. Small bumps were noticed more and it had a slight delay on fire road wash ripples. Other then that it was very similer to the float rl on all the medium to big stuff.
It would save my the amount of time it takes to flip the lockout on & off on the float rl but in the long run it has the set it & forget it idea that I really look for. Once you set it up the way you like it thats it propedal does the rest. 8)
