Chris,
Thanks Man!

Will I be able to find a Noleen J6 or a Riesse for the 656? Are they still manufacturing new one's or would I have to scan Craigslit or Fleabay? Would the shock have to be retro fit or will it just work with the current rear end? I know it's a ton of questions, but I've always just replaced the MDU's when needed, never swapped out the rubber for air.

Thanks in advance>

You can find them here. http://shop.noleenj6.com/category.sc;jsessionid=540DDEDE98B2B892762EB632DAC0BC1B.qscstrfrnt05?categoryId=7 Not cheap but that's the price of admission.

Your frame will be a small as they didnt make a way small. It has a double stack just like the other sizes. Noleenj6 make straight swap quality shocks for the '56 models as well as Risse. Both will out perform MDU by far.

nope...656 quite different to 756 etc

Thanks for the link. I just checked the Noleen site and there wasn't a rear shock listed that would fit a 656. Any other options you can think of?

Thanks

Hmmm...I don't even know if Risse would have something for that rear. What about going with new elastomers from Suspension Fork Parts? Would probably run $100 total for the front and rear. Or, you could always try to find a replacement material or spring yourself. There are cheap springs on eBay all the time, and all you really need are your measurements (e.g. ID, OD, free length) and the spring rate (maybe 400 lbs for that rear?).

Just my $0.02...

i think you only have room for a new set of elastomers.There just isnt room there for any kind of shock.

Ok, thanks so much for the info. I'll order up some new elastomers tonight.

Or this?

Just picked up a 954 to keep my Reptile company. I'm in need of the plastic spacers that go between the 2 elastomers both front & rear. I believe these are pretty much the same for all models & years of Proflex. Let me know if this is incorrect. If any of you who have upgraded to "real' shocks still have your spacers laying around I would really appreciate you sending them my way!

Ah well I had one of them right. Risse do make a shock for it. And it does use two elastomers. Id probably stick with elastomers on that model.

Hi there. Im new to owning a Girvin Proflex elite crosslionk fork and I'm looking for some spare aluminuim fork legs for a snow bike project where I'll be pairing this fork with a Surly Large Marge rim and 3.8" tire. The fork modifications will only require the portion of the fork legs below the pivots. The upper pivot part fo the fork legs can be damaged/worn or not even there.

I am assuming that all the aluminum Girvin fork leg extrusions are the same diameter, profile and thickness over the years and models. I'm also assuming that the legs are straight gauge and not butted like bike frame tubing. . . . Maybe someone here can weigh in on these questions as well

Please let me know if you have spare Girvin legs in your parts inventory that might work for this. I can paypal you the shipping cost plus what ever you think they are worth.

By way of introduction, I'm new on here, but I buy and sell Magura rim brakes from the 1990s and 2000s, so I have a huge inventory of HS22 and HS33 brakes and parts in all colors spanning the Miami Vice color pallette as well as booring black and silver. I spend a lot of time on this forum: http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89493
