    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    I'm going to be selling my vitus on ebay next week. I'm thinking I'll sell the ohlins rear shock seperately. Was £720 new. I've also got a spare battery I'm selling. It's been charged less than 10 times. If anyone's interested pm me. Thanks

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    A heads up if anyone fits an ohlins coil shock. You have to remove the rebound adjuster as it'll strike on the frame close to when you bottom out. Just a tiny screw to remove. You can still adjust the rebound with a stubby flathead driver. Incidentally, I fitted 160mm pedal arms previously...

    How did you cover/remove them. I'm thinking of going bare... I need to clarify this don't I Gary ?. Frame back to metal with a clear coat over whatever decals I choose

    Luckily I've got red decals instead of amazing hope parts. It's more street ?

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    That was my issue. The upgrades were subtle and I thought they needed to be far greater, hence the switch.

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    So I fitted the coil shock on Friday, also put 2.6 magic Mary up front and a hans dampf 2.6 at the rear. Always thought the standard tyres on the vitus were a bit disproportional. I can say that the larger tyres combined with a 35mm stem have significantly improved the look of the bike, and the...

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    Yes that's the one. I don't unfortunately, the tech ran through specs but I didn't write them down. He did say there was less adjustment on this shock but still an amount at least equal to the others as they don't include the fully open/fully closed options that in real world conditions aren't...

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    Spoke to a guy at tf tuned this morning. Advised there were 3 options available. Ohlins, cane creek and one other new to market. Can't remember the name. Went for the ohlins as the manner in which it deals with compression in the mid range is superior to the other 2 when dealing with the...

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    Sounds promising. Would be useful to know what set up he used. I guess it's going to be a case of limited coil size options

    Can a coil shock be fitted in the limited space within the frame

    I'm hoping to fit a coil upgrade but I'm unsure there's enough space within the frame. Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance
