The URT from the same source is $500 (it's gold alloy one, of the later round style 1998-1999),but that's the easy bit...get them off Ebay for a fraction of...
You are right, the 185 is the spring length, and the 700 is the spring strength (if I am not mistaken, maximum duty rating of the spring) ... From: jkstowe01...
I've got an original Fox Air Vanilla shock sitting in my garage if you're interested. It came off my '98 Y-11 that I've owned from new. Covered about 500 miles...
Ah if you want to go stock equipment go with the fox shock, if you want something nicer, lighter, and a heck of a lot more fun to ride, the Manitou Swinger...
Marty, I went for the air version of the Manitou shock, mainly because IMO it looks better, plus my local cycle shop had it in stock so I could take it away...

Yes, all I need is the pivot bushing assembly. Can your supplier get me one? $50 or so is not a problem for me for this. ... digits. Unless you can get one...
The more I think of it, the more attractive a bearing system would be (like on the Boulton URT) as opposed to a bushing--if it's possible to do on the stock Y...
Does anyone know if a '96 Y-11 rear axle will accept a 9-spd cluster? I know the derailer, shifters and chain will also need replacement if i go to 9-spd but...
BTW chaps, there are no more Boulton URT's left - I emailed Eric sometime ago and he explained that tey have produced any for many years, and do not have plans...
Axles lengths are the same. You do not need to change anything other than that you have already identified. Regards Neil ________________________________ From:...
I had a machine shop make a center and side bushings out of oillite bronze about three years ago, and I have had no stiction or lateral movement in the pivot...
This is funny, considering that 9sp uses a narrower chain, so I would gather that the front derail either has a little more angle on the cage, or it is shaped...
I think that the problem is that the 8spd FD cage is a little wider, so when it hits the upper limit screw, it hasn't quite moved the narrower chain onto the...
Yes - a 9sp freehub is identical to an 8sp one. Even the 9sp sprockets are the same as 8sp ones, except for the spacers being narrower. (Obviously sprockets...
Well, it arrived OK. Unfortunately it's NOT the right part for a '97 Y frame. I can't complain about the eBay seller as the part is exactly what he described....
... If you don't want to change your hub, then you can use a 9spd shifter, a 9spd chain and 8 cogs from a 9spd cassette to give 8spd. If you are willing to...
Very well stated. I agree. If you are going to endure the expense of upgrading, go to a 9 speed system all the way. That will require replacing your hub,...
Too true. I'm sticking with 8sp as long as decent parts are still available. I'm using SRAM Attack shifters on my bikes now, which are about the best 8sp ones...
I do agree with everyone that 7spd and 8spd were good, BUT: I only believe this to be the case because of the inherent 'agriculturalness' of having a setup...
The 'jump' you refer to on exists on wide-range cassettes. An 11-28 8sp cassette has exactly the same ratios as an 11-32 9sp one but without the granny gear. I...
I just got my warrantee replacement URT from Trek today. It looks like a later model than was on my 1995 Y-22. The design is slightly different and it has a...

The warranty replacement frame and URT are the 1998-1999 model. Apart from the Y Superlites, the round section alloy URT was painted. The detacheable...
