Cool on your karma offer Tadpole. It is not the same one as the 856 though.

For sale Fox TALAS Float RL rear shock.

This shock is used but is in excellent near new condition. It was on my wife's bike and she hardly ever road it. It fits the EVO series K2 bikes, like 3000 4000 5000. It may fit other models as well. Eye to Eye is 210mm x 2 inch stoke. Includes to correct size adapters to mount it on your bike. The swing arm bracket requires a small notch cut to make room for the air valve. Very easily performed with a round file. Cost $400 new, Asking price is $160 USD for this rare item. Shipping is not included. Item is located in the USA.

Features:
TALAS = Travel Adjustable Linear Air Spring. Meaning you can adjust the travel of the shock in 3 different preset heights in 1/4" increments by turning a switch
R= Rebound adjustable with the red knob
L = Lockout with the blue lever. Lock the rear for those long smooth climbs or any smooth surfaces.
Float = Air spring adjustable by using a shock pump to match rider weight and style. Shock pump is not included, it takes a standard shock pump.

I have got a large1998 Proflex Beast frame for sale with noleen nr2 which has just been serviced, new spring and nitrogen recharge. I include magura hs33 rear brake, ritchey seatpost, seatclamp and headset. The frame is in good condition, a few paint scrapes on the upper swingarm, bearings in good condition, no dents and clean

It is a excellent 5" fs frame which doesnt get used to its capabilities. The frame is a good weight and I wish I could keep it.

Looking for £100 ono

I can send pics, but dont know how

Thanks

what is the caliper bolt pattern on the 856 swingarm?

rapiddescent · « **Reply #1118 on:** June 16, 2011, 12:08:11 pm »

international standard - will be ebaying it tomorrow (friday) if I have a spare moment.

by the way, if any enterprising proflex rider wants to buy a big bag of CNC'd top hat and end cap pieces that slot over an ODS shock then get in touch. Given that springs are easy to get made locally then you would have everything you need to sell maybe up to 30 springs (mixing rear and front) for proflex riders. I haven't counted them actually - but message me. there's about $750 worth of CNC'ing but given that i won't be using it then someone could make a bit of money and serve the proflex community at the same time

I'm packing everything up for our move - hence all the ebay activity. I found a whole magura louise disk brake set yesterday that had fallen down the back of a chimney in the house! The front triangle of my beloved 856 is in the van which will be thrown out in the garbage.

someone wants it reasonably badly

I'd like to get a set of Noleen Pipeline Chubby LTs for my 1998 K2 Animal. Are these forks a good choice? I know I can get better with today's technology, but I don't want to spend what decent shocks will cost.

I also like the look the these shocks and they came stock on the Animal.

Anyone have one for sale?

Thanks,
Ian

Those are the same as the RST Hi5 fork, with 5 inches of travel. All of the parts are the same. RST discontinued the model because they were having some failures of the stanchions. There were never any problems with the regular chubby.

I liked my regular chubby that came with my 97 beast. I regreased every 2 months and they were smooth as glass.

Never mind. I bought a 1998 Manitou X-Vert double fork. The color is almost a perfect match also.
