Sorta keep up with it daily.

so how many here go to that facebook group?

The downtime was my fault... recently was assigned a new IP address, and I dutifully updated the DNS registry, but neglected to change the configuration on my internal network, so outgoing traffic wasn't going anywhere. The challenge is that I get new IP addresses so seldom that the update process isn't habitual. And of course it all works if you're testing it from inside my network, which I was, so... oops. Sorry folks!

Here it is...

Good info too, I just learned someone removed the dropouts off the carbon swingarm of a K2/Proflex to extend the chain stays and sun a 29" wheel...this rekindled my K2/Proflex addiction and I'm going to try it next, looks like I had relapse after years of Knolly and Salsa bikes...

Thanks Doug. I am still learning to navigate the site via iPhone, which is a pain. I did get a guy called Christian from Simply Bearings try to help (a company mentioned in some ancient blogs) but he needs seal dimensions from the shock, which I thought was an NR2, but maybe NR1? (It has the conical lower insert). If I fail with media 😂 I may ask someone to strip the shock and try to measure the internals. I have a friend in engineering if any patterns for adapters show up. I’ve had the bike from new, so would be nice to get it working again. Thanks for the response.
