The gripshifts for the gears are badly perished and i guess i wont be able to replace the rubber grips so i expect i will have to change these , ( reccomendations welcome on that )

you'll find some on ebay if you look around, or find some old ones where the grips aren't too damaged and swap them over

in terms of elastomers/springs - stick up a new thread specifically on that subject on this forum, it may catch Callum's (Rapiddescentscotland) eye - he' s posted very recently so is around here.

UPDATE :

P.P.S If someone lets me know how to meaure the frame size , i will let you know that as well , I thought it was from the centre of the crank to the top of the top tube but not entiterly sure .

I am pretty sure that from center of seat tube along top tube to center of head tube is 23 inches for a large frame(Thats what mine are anyway).

i didnt think a 954 had a "shock",therefore a spring will be very bouncy...

Hi Kiwi ,

This is what i dont quite understand and am trying to sort out , is my unit just full of grease and should be hard to push in or should you be able to push it in with out it returning on its own , and how hard should it be to push in , how do i refill it ?

Many thanks

( i was only interested in a coil on the rear as i saw it on the picture on this thread on page 1 so I thought it was possible to do as the unit inside the coil is the same as mine , maybe who everdone it is hanging off a tree as we write )
