Bit the Bullet - Axis Shocks

[stgdz]

Anyone run the pro-dual rate twisted springs that hygear sells? It's the one where you can adjust the middle collar on the threaded section.

I have run them on my Nytro. Get the Pro version with the threaded collar. You can really fine tune with those.

Got the exit shocks through Ian for my sidewinder rtx. The valving that exit sent was no better than factory if not worse. When I had Ian redo them they were much better! I do plan to get an elka stage5 center shock tho so I can get my wheels back on inside of rails and I feel it’s much higher quality shock.

Why did you have to move the inside wheels outside? I though I have seen pics of center shock mounted upside down with reservoir. Didn't noticed people moving wheels...

I put a set on late this winter. Only put maybe 200 miles on them. Front end sits lower so I had to adjust my center spring to match. Cornered flat and the chop was pretty good. Have not had them in the big rough trails yet.

Exit center shock has the resivoir in the way. I prefer way the elka /axis works for center better.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if the QS3R center would be in the way too if upside down? That was my plan...

Qs3 mounts resi up. There’s no way to flip the shock as the eyelet for the cross shaft vs the bolt are entirely different.

 

[Phatboyc]

So your saying QS3 eyelet are different than QS3R?
Canondale had received this from one of his client. I was planing to keep the wheels inside and use the stock spring on the SE...so no go?

They are mounted the opposite direction on all the ones I’ve seen
