Help me choose...
I recently blew the shock on my trust Coyote F2. It works by pushrod
through the frame and since you cant buy the shock anymore its time for radical thinking. I have two choices: 1) Scrap the frame i've enjoyed for so long and buy something similar. 2) Modify the main bearing and make up some links to allow normal shock usage. 2) will cost 100£ ish and I'll still have an old frame, but at least one i know. 1) will cost a lot more.

Plus you'd have to change your name.
I'd agree with Matt BTW, time for a new frame. If you're desperate to revive the Coyote try contacting CVI (you're in the UK iirc?) http://www.cvi.co.uk/cvi/main.html they may have something to suit, they keep a lot of older shock parts. Steve. |

Id rather modify the frame if i was going to keep it. I can easly convert it from plain bearing to 4x needle rollers at the pivot and its not too much effort to machine up some links to change the pushrod-thru-frame to links-outside-frame and even change the characteristics of its travel. my frame http://xc2.iwarp.com/images/ickle-coyote-f2.jpg It weighs in pretty light you see (2.5kgish apparently, im still stripping it to find out) with its carbon swingarm, and looks pretty sweet, so i was going to re-powder coat it. Just dont like getting rid of anything lol. There are still single pivot/swingarm designs out there. J -convincing himself. |
