nah.....with such a light and relatively short spring, there is virtually no weight saving and a lot of extra cost. i wanted to keep my net cost for the chubie as close to what it would cost to PUSH my DHX (after selling the DHX) had I gone that route as possible. Besides, that extra money for the Ti spring is better spent on my next project.

cool...let me know.

while there is virtually zero margin for dealers, i can get you a bit of a discount...not a ton, but something nonetheless.

could you perhaps give me the diameter of the spring used? i'm trying to find a good coil shock to run on my reign and don't want to have to settle with a vanilla r

do you mean inside diameter? if so, it uses a 1.5 ID. Basically, Romic spring work too....but not Fox.

i have a shock for sale myself.......DHX 5.0

dont see painting it white....i like the look better i think now.

PUSHing too would be sweet, but I am excited to try the Avy

naw, i'm looking for OD dimensions to see if it will fit within the shock cage on my frame. the montie runs a 2.5" O.D. spring so i'm guessing its probly the same spec spring on the chubie
