Guys, this is the youthh forum, read the rules. Yes your replies are funny, Chuckys are on of the funniest I've ever read on here, but none the less, do not flame.

[sxtrailrider95]

actuly jonny steve in real cycles set the bike up to day ok

[trailfox]

lolololol @ penguinni :-)
yes the use of strong language and personal attacks can lead to banning konarider94!

sxtrailrider - if your serious whats your budget?

[Conor]

Second hand VanillaR or RC

[downhilldude]

yea he is..he is looking for a dhx5 any going ,...

[Kona Rab]

To be honest a DHX5 would probably be over kill for a wee bike like that.

[downhilldude]

would a dhx5 be ok for my 2007 kona stinky because mabe be geting one for my birthday.thanks

[Kona Rab]

I have a DHX5 on my Stab and it is a fantastic shock I cannot fault it. But to be honest if your having bother setting up a Van R, then a DHX5 is not the one for you as you really need to know how to set them up properly for your riding style and weight.

[downhilldude]

but would it work ok on a 2007 kona stinky because i seen that you said to sxtrailrider that his bike would die if he put it on,,thanks

[Kona Rab]

It will work on both bikes.

But IMO its gonna be overkill, your probably not going to use it to its full potential so why waste the money. Your Van R will be fine once you get it set up.

[Junior DH]

Most good fork company's have good shox, but as Kona Rab said, a Vanilla will do you for a Stinky.

[downhilldude]

i ride a stinky. he rides a iron horse yakuza or something like that lol i have seen stinkys with dhx5 and they are really nice.i also seen one with 888,s and dhx5 no bother to a bike like that.

[sxtrailrider95]

so then jonny u going to go buy 888s and dhx5 then siense ur bike is better than my bike well so you think

[Lwatson]

What Rab was trying to say is that you will not get the full potential out of a dhx5, it's a top of the range shock and would be a waste of money to buy for your local trails, save your money for when things go wrong. When you are using a DH bike to it's full potential and understand the way the shock and bike works; then you should have a look at the top of the range shocks!

[sxtrailrider95]

ino it just dhd is realy p@$£ing me off saying that my bike is barraucda comperd to the "all mighty kona!" as he calles it

[Lwatson]

It doesn't matter what you ride, it's what you do on it. Stop arguing with eachother over who's better than who or who's bike is better etc etc just ride the bloody things and have fun, be grateful for what you have. IMO it's too much bike too soon.

[Dee205]

What's wrong with the shock already on it?
All the dearest and best bits in the world won't make you a trail demon.
Do you need a new shock or forks?

[downhilldude]

there is nothing wrong with it its a van r.and no he dosent need new forks or a shock.
but its his cash so let him blow it all on things he dosent need.

[sxtrailrider95]

your the one who wants a dhx5 and 888s and all and i was only if you look at the thread it say could i have some names of good shock if i wear to get one a one point i was just asking:mad:

[downhilldude]

no i dont i did. but now thanks to kona rab i got my shock set up nice and i really like it and my forks have started to bed in nicely.so all good

[Girvan]

girls if youre gona bicker we're gona watch so save it for the ring....and youtube

[GpAevo]

Manitou 4 or 6 way coil, or any DHX. But as has been said already a vanilla R or RC would do you grand;)
