USOM2000:
I have an 855 that I bought back in '94-'95 and of course the elastomers are shot. I am looking for replacements so that I can get the bike back on the road. I currently have the stock front vector set-up and the 856 rear strut, but the oil filled damper may have sprung a leak. What is recommended as replacment shocks???
I'm in San Diego CA.
thanks all

Hello,
I’m new to the board. I’ve just gotten a hold of a Noleen crosslink that unfortunately is for the larger head tube range and I’m trying to get it going on my 98 Ventana Marble Peak. I understand that with the exception of the bolt spacing on the legs and a part on the bottom of the shock the short and long head tube versions of the fork are the same. I’m looking for either a serviceable short head tube crosslink or one that at least has serviceable legs. Also I’m looking for a 200 lb spring to fit the shock (for which I can trade a 225). The long spacing legs are up for grabs as well.
Anyone have any old parts they’re not using or a lead on some?
Thanks
Dave

To my understandiing, there are 2 sizes crosslink, tall, and short. The difference is the top clamp, which is tall and short.
You can use the tall on a short headtube with some headset spacers and with a low stem.
