VERY nice! Good job you have done there. Any chance that you could share what it is that you did exactly so that others may consider trying it? I would be...
I got my Fox Vanilla shock from Cambria today. It has smaller reducers than the ones from my Y-22's ALPS-4. I got two of the reducers off and put the ALPS-4...
... It's the bush that holds the reducer firmly in place - they are supposed to be tight. When they go loose, it is time to have the shock rebushed. I had...
I busted my y3 rear shock and no shop can help me they all want to charge me 400 for a new top of the line rear shock. i need a replacement for under 150 new...
The Y-bikes REALLY benefit from a stable platform rear shock - you could argue that these modern shocks remove the need for sophisticated rear suspension...
Well, the new shock is on the bike. My Dad came over and had the idea of drilling them out. Drilling weakened them and they came out easily. We then put the...
Cambria has several shocks in stock that are under $150. My Vanilla was 59.95. Some of those shocks are older and do not come with documentation (My Vanilla...
I have a y22 and the rear shock mount where the shock meets the carbon is coming loose. I took out the shock bolt, and the shock mount appears to be riveted...
... This is the pre-98 OCLV Y bike's most notorious weakness. Get Trek to fix it, especially if you are the original owner - they'll probably do it for free if...
... Sorry, didn't read your post carefully! They still may repair it for free. Simply replacing the rivet will not suffice - the mount needs to be rebonded to...
Hey, The site is great. I am the original owner of a 96 y-22 and raced for awhile but only for training purposes motorcycle racing was man love. I am currently...
You may have me confused with someone else. I am new but havent posted anything about the rear shock or even posted anything. But great site and gl...:) Brent ...
I'm thinking about upgrading my Y-11's crank and i'm not sure how to determine if I should stick with the 175mm or change to another lenght. Does anybody know...
I have a '98 Y-11 that i bought new and upgraded to a 5-0. I can get a '04 Trek Fuel 80 pretty cheap, Should I ? How do you think they would compare? Thanks...
There is some magical formula of measurements that can be used. I don't know it. If you're 6'2 or taller and have an inseam of 34" or more you might be able to...
My Y22 went like this, prompting lots of arm waving and "woe is me" cries. However a friend whom I used to work with, and still deals with Trek and Gary...
I agree absolutely with Bill, I ride 175s - however if I could find 172.5s (Shimano used to do them) they would be the best. I'm 6'4 however only have little...
Neil, I have been considering swapping out my stx rc crank on my 97 y-11. Since I have been unable to find a decent 8 speed crank, I have been looking at the...
Hi Fred, The Hollowtech II Mega 9 chain sets are excellent value - the LX chain set is as good as the XT only not as light. However it is cheaper enough that...
Thanks Bill and Neil. That's really helpful information for me and give me some reference to help me make my decision. Thanks Again, Andy ... so 175s ... are ...
Neil, I bought a Hol.Tec. II crankset thinking that I would need to have the Y22 BB shell machined, but I tried fitting it first and found that the axle...
