Hi everyone,

What size frame?

Large frame

Then the answer is possibly.
You have to make sure that the reservoir doesn’t hit the downtube on full compression.

Would you happen to know what hardware ill need to install it?

I used the stock hardware to mount my DVO shock, what’s the problem you’re seeing?

The bearings on the bottom of the coil is too small for the bushing

You’ll probably have to press it out. I’d want to be absolutely certain that the reservoir didn’t hit first. Have you done a search using the forum software for the super deluxe coil to see if anyone else has fitted one?

Are you in the UK? Fin at Full Factory Suspension is running a coil on his Rail and is generally an evangelist for coil shocks and custom building coil shocks. Give him a shout - I'm sure he can help. https://fullfactory.bike

That's because it's a used shock from another bike which comes with a bearing mount, rather than a standard eyelet.

IIRC RockShox need to go back to a service centre to have the lower part swapped to a normal eyelet mount (so you can run a standard bush). Which means a service, and some parts, not cheap.

Also the piggyback is fairly big & low on a Super Deluxe. I would be surprised if you have clearance on bottom out before the piggyback hits the downtube.

I'd sell it on and find something more suitable.

It would be nice if Sram made a Coil shock designed just for the Rail...small, medium, large, xlarge, frame sizes.

 

[Doomanic]

There are loads of cool shocks suited to the Rail; DVO, Ohlins, EXT, and Cane Creek spring immediately to mind.

I read lots of posts where people have to purchase new fasteners, spacers and bushings so they can install coil shock. It would be nice if manufacturer would make Rail specific coil shock kit. Maybe I have not done enough research, but I should not have to. Please help make choosing coil shock easier.

Doesn't Rail require a certain length shock...the Cane Creek is too short and so on.

Of course it does. The new Kitsuma is available in the right size.

The Rail comes with two types of shock mounts depending on model. Which type do you suggest they make shocks for? Do you even know which yours is?

Maybe I have not done enough research,

Clearly not…

but I should not have to. Please help make choosing coil shock easier.

Do you want someone to pedal it for you as well?
