Anyone tried this shock on their Y-5, managed to source out a 175, with 2 inch travel (the only one closest to the original length I could find anywhere). Just...
Marty, Sorry if I am doing this wrong - my first time on this site. I recently put a Manitou S with SPV and it fits and works very well. It really helps cure...
Hi Scot, Thanks for the reply, and of course welcome to the Y-group :) Thanks a bunch for your recommendation, just looking at the shock itself, it really...
Hello I am new to the group and have a 96? Y22 with a Rock Shock Judy XC cartridge fork. I would like to upgrade to something more solid and stable. I do not...
Cal, If I were you, I would find a Marzocchi fork that is on close out somewhere. Most mail order houses have the 07 models marked down when the 08 models come...
I've just purchased a Fox Vannila R front suspension on the advice of TF Tuning in the UK. This is the base model in the Fox range, however it is very simple,...
I have a new Roch Shox Reba Team that I recently put on my 97 Y33. it is soooo much better than the old Judy SL. I'd recommned one! ... and ... for ... I...
Snap! I have an '07 Reba Race on my '97 Y33 and it's great. The original Judy was good but this is in a different league. Nice Esprit by the way - you still...
Wow I just noticed my spelling... Thanks. Yeah I still have the Esprit. Doing a full rebuild and racing brake design project now. I actually just yesterday...
I have a 1998 Y-33. I'm thiking of purchasing a second set of tires & rims to use when riding in the city & road use. Any suggestions on equipment to use & is...
I think the Continental Town & Country 2.1 tires are the ideal road tire for a Y bike. Just look at the tread! It's a pattern of inset Y's! Plus they grip...
... I would suggest that the wear and tear on your forks and rear shock would not justify the regular use of a y-bike on the road, unless they are already...
Hi all, I have a 98 Y-Glide Deluxe (project bike) and am trying to freshen up the Manitou X-Vert fork. My main question was whether or not this fork uses oil?...
Wear and tear on the forks and shocks as a road bike? I would have thought the wear would be way less on the road. The Y bikes make an excellent road bike,...
... I don't doubt that the y is an adequate road bike, and would of course agree that the wear and tear on the shock/fork would be less than on the trail. My...
I tend to agree with this. I only ride my Y on the road to & from trails or when the commuting bike is out of action for one reason or another. The old worn...
Hello all, I just recently purchased a 98 Y-11 from Woolley G's Bike & Fitness in Texas which was on consignment for a customer who purchased a new bike and...
Hi Rob, I got the same 98 Y-11 frame as yours and I have update the bike piece by piece and the only thing still stock is the handlebar and frame. When I got...
FJ, Thanks for the reply. I would like to change the rear shock, but was unsure of what to change to. I was going to go with a 7.0 with a 2" travel, but am...
Dear Rob, I think that you'll find that a preference for a 7" shock is a minority opinion on this group. You'll probably also find that most don't think the...
Rob, Your welcome and I just want you to know that my change of a 7" rear shock is not the norm and is on the extreme side of what people here at the Y group...
Hi All; I need to replace my pivot bushings on my 98 Y-Glide Deluxe, and am hoping someone can help me locate a new set or two. I went to my local Trek dealer...
Nick, Thanks for the insight on the shock and fork. The bike should be here next week, and after I put it together, and ride a bit to get a feel for the bike,...
The shock bushes you should be able to get from pretty much anywhere. It's the main pivot bush in the frame that Trek no longer make. I lucked out last year...
After lots of prevaracating and asking for help from all over, I recently plumped for a Fox Float R in 165x38mm which is slightly shorter than the original...
Pete wouldn't listen to me :p ________________________________ From: trekybikes@yahoogroups.com [mailto:trekybikes@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Pete Sent: 23...
Yeah, it's the main pivot bushing I need. If anyone has one for sale, let me know!! If you're talking about the rear derailleur hanger, I've seen several...
Interesting! Could you post a pic of it, as I'm fairly sure Trek used different designs of hanger in different years? E.g. The '96 Y frame didn't have a...
