To order any spring or get advice on your requirements call 01373 826800 We do not carry many Fox DHX springs in stock as Manitou (black - £25) or 5th (silver/white - £20) will fit. If you want, we can order Fox springs (Up to 2.25" stroke = £42 or 2.5" stroke & above = £54)." info from TFTUNED.com so yes Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: kitebits on August 20, 2008, 10:25:08 AM yes as long as you pick the right length / stroke for your shock. Fox springs are different stroke measurements to Manitou. I have a dhx 5 on my vp and i run a 550lb manitou spring. Its a fair bit longer than the fox spring but its fits in fine. IIRC the main thing TF said when i bought it was the stroke of the spring had to be the same or greater than the shock.
Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: Janitor. on August 20, 2008, 10:29:19 AM yeah i knew that, cheers anyway. Just DHX springs are quite fat so i was wondering if it would physically go on!
If i have a 2.8" stroke i should go for the 2.75" manitou yeh? or do i go for the 3"? Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: Rscott on August 20, 2008, 10:31:15 AM 2.75 manitou,
that is how long your stroke is anyway just fox print what length the spring will compress to till it becomes fully compresed (springbound) Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: Janitor. on August 20, 2008, 10:37:22 AM Cheers Y'all, appreciated. :)

I need to get the steel one for caersws (my springs 250lbs heavyer then it should be!) but yeh sounds good! I should be in leeds next week man, coming to the works or whatever? Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: hatchleader on August 20, 2008, 12:05:08 PM doubt it mate! Patriot is currently the only rolling bike and i doubt that will be great for that kind of thing ;D
i can show you some short DH tracks round back of south leeds stadium which are easily ridable on HT's if you fancy something different! Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: spamed on August 20, 2008, 22:52:23 PM I recently bought the 2.75 inch one for my dhx, and the spring is longer than the standard fox one so the 3' one would never fit! i barely got the 2.75 one on there, i had to compress the spring with my hand to get the bottom spring plate thing on! but it fits so ur sound ;)
Title: Re: Shock questions, some help please? Post by: sly on August 21, 2008, 10:50:52 AM yeah, the free length is longer. and they're also wide enough, the manitou spring i have is wider than the fox one
