Hello Fellow "Y" Lovers, In the photos section of the site under "wyatt2112" is my newly built Y-22 with my invention that I am calling the "Hardshox" (Patent ...
Hi Guys. I found this on the web, it might help someone who has shock - problems http://wings-suspension.de/index.html You all have a nice day. Garšar....
Did you know that your frame will brake if you eleminate the rearshock. Trek Y frames are not made for that. The contact point on the Carboniber mainframe will...
Hi Edward, Thanks for the response. I have considered the possibility of that happening however; on some of the other models you can get a shock with a lockout...
It's not something I would be happy with for 2 (possibly 3) reasons: 1. Lockout shocks are intended for occasional use, i.e. steep climbs etc. and certainly...
5) sandblasting carbon fiber........absolute no no.Ā even if you know what you are doing, you ares still dealing with a used frame that might have hidden...
Do your self a favor and don't try and patent this. A decent patent will cost you about $5k to $10K and if you do get it it will be written so narrow that...
Has anyone gone this route to restore their old Rock Shox. I have a '97 Y-22 and the old Judy fork is blown out. I've considered just replacing the front...
Plenty of new forks have the option of cantilever mounting points. You'll normally have to specify them though, as most folks are using discs these days and...

The '97 Y-22 came with V-brakes, not Cantilever... Even the new Rock Shox Reba's can be bought with V-Brake Posts. I have 2006 Reba Team 100mm Forks on my '97...

... Yep. 1 1/8" diameter steerer tube. If buying second hand, you need to ensure that the steerer tube is long enough (or too long - you can always cut it down...
Yes, it would be. However, I don't think any of the Y bikes were ever supplied as new with the old style cantis, so it's most likely V-style cantilever brakes...
For all of you that have done this already.... Replacing one of these is difficult! For the XC'ers/old schoolers out there.... Looking for light, quick, FS...
That's correct these are the old style cantilever brakes with a cable stop in the center and on top of a horseshoe shape bracket. I'd like to retain the...
I would say the current GT I-Drive Carbon Pro is pretty close to the design intent/price of the Trek Y series as a pure XC bike, 4" travel, full carbon...
There is a good reason that most bikes don't have a cable stop for centre-pull cantilever brakes these days - linear-pull cantilevers are substantially better....
Ybiker, you're right. I dug through some brochures and it looks like '96 had both V and Canti. brakes. From the pictures, it looks like the upper half of the ...
My Y-22 that I bought new in 1996 came with canti-lever brakes and I was givin the option to upgrade to V-brakes. Which I did! I still own that very same bike...
Hi John, I have owned a Y-22 96 since 96, only having to replace the frame 2 years ago after it cracked (98 YSL frame). After doing a couple of 24 hour races...
I think you have to remember that the Y design is over 12 years old now, and isn't exactly the cutting edge design that is available nowadays. That said, its...
I finally was able to buy my dream bike, the Y-Five-O last week. I need to know how much air pressure is needed in the Stratos rear shock for a 6 foot 160...
