IIRC it might be the X2 you need to make mods for

Which is what i've linked 🙂 lol
Which is not... what i have actually lol
confusing names these things.
🙂 yep
I guess i'll wait for MAshr then. We seem to have had a little confusion on the PP account so it's saying 'unclaimed' at the moment anyway, which may be a way of telling me to go for the RC3. We've just discussed it and i missed a letter off on the spelling.
So with this in mind and the fact we're not tied into the DPX2, would i just go for this
RC3 then ? I don't fancy modding my frame i must admit.
Stand down with the file now I’ve seen the extra pics! Thought it was all Foxs that were more bell shaped at the eyelets, that looks alright. Even if it does need a tweek it’s not worth losing sleep over
ok boss, i'm in then 🙂
Will it mount as is ? or i need extra hardware ?
When it doesn’t fit I’ll do you a favour and take it for £50 😉
Think the original hardware will work. Might be worth an upgrade if they’re just top hats though (haven’t checked mine)
This is what was put on mine
although I'd forgotten it cost that much :-O
Fitted ok as well
*well that didn't work for some reason pfft*
Not for me. I've read too many stories of short life spans
Yeah I had both types of the Inline in the past. The first type shat it itself, the revised version wasn’t feeling great by the time I got rid either. Shame as it was lovely when it was working
Must admit, i'm having shock debates. The standard Monarch shock on there now i've managed to get better with a bit more pressure and slowing the rebound a bit, so on jumps i'm not bottoming it out now. (Although the jumps are lower than some i've done/will do possibly)
So i'm wondering, "do i need to bother fitting this at all" it's due to arrive today. But i'm debating whether it will go in or not.
Well, if you decide against it give me a shout and I’ll take it off your hands
Sold to him, went to the woods jumping today with my lad and if i'm honest, the shock is as good or better than i am, so it went straight out.
Bike is still awesome though 🙂
Lockdown means lots of spare time so today was frame bearings.
I've got a spare set here should they need swapping but they're all smooth, so just cleaned, lubed, checked and put back together.

Ha! I was recently bought that same mug as a present.
How many sus bearings i the Whyte? I changed all 11, bloody 11, on the Jeffsy last year. They weren't all shot admittedly but I was chasing down a weird clicking noise so changed them all to be sure.
10, including the 2 at the back end next to the rear hub.
Just doing the same job on my G170. Although not disastrous a few were running rough so I decided to change them. Although a different size to yours (170 uses 3802s) I really like the fact they are all the same size. Also worth noting that the 170 no longer uses the black screw on cap that yours has. Could be why mine haven’t lasted?
I always pry off the seal with a scalpel and repack the bearing with grease. Not sure how much it helps but makes me feel better!
What does it use instead as a cover ?

Pah, we have the same table...just a bit more varnished.
we're going for the distressed look 🙂
No cover as such, just an alloy spacer which partially, but not totally, covers the bearing seals. The 160 setup looks much more weather and hose pipe proof...
