All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

That's not what my buddy said on our last ride....

He said my kit looked like a roadie...

Couple things going
One. So great to be out riding, love spring weather.

Two. I’m being lazy and need to go through the search function but who has an opinion or has tried out the push eleven six? Only ever been on air shocks but I have a frame I’m looking at that comes with one and I’m pretty intrigued.

 

That’s my old frame hahaha

 

They’re super nice, and super expensive. Loved the one I had on my Following. Not sure I’d jump on another at the price they’ve gone to.

 

I live 10 minutes from Push Industries and I’m pretty bummed that they stopped suspension services and only sell new shocks and forks

 

A couple good rides in this last week.

 

Recommendations on unbiased reviews or research on them? How do you service them then??

 

Guess the smaller frame didn't suit him.

They still work on their shocks, just not other companies suspension?

 

Which is a bummer. I think they became so popular they were inundated with service requests and changed their focus to in-house products.

 

???
Not sure if your asking if my feedback is my own or from reading reviews?

I ran an 11.6 on my V3 Following for a few hundred miles, so my review is my own opinion. The shock was easily one of the best shocks I’ve used. Kinda magical honestly. On the short travel rig it was firm when on the gas, then became a lovely cloud under compression. But still had plenty of progression to never feel unsupported mid-stroke or ever any harsh bottomouts.

For a non-knob turner like myself, the fine tuning the 11.6 provides is just mad overkill. Add in the price point they’ve climbed to and they become undesirable, to me at least. My experience with other coil shocks from Cane Creek and RockShox has been, and is, quite good. And at nowhere near a decernable enough performance difference to justify the Push price point.

Can’t comment on servicing as I didn’t have mine long enough to cross the bridge. I did reach out to see about them converting the shock to fit another frame. They quoted something like $700-800. Less than a new shock, but still too rich for me. This was also when they were still around $1200 retail.

 

Nah, he loves it. He’s like me. Never satisfied. Always chasing the next thing. He’s got a new

$11 SB120 Connectors Flush Mount Recessed Plate (Gray-1pc)

SB120 on order now.

I just need to spend more time riding the bikes I own rather than riding the computer looking at bikes/parts I think I’d want instead of what I have

 

I have one on my Offering. I rode it twice with the DebonAir that come on it before switching to the Push. The push is better in every way. I haven't compared to other coils so can't comment there, but @backcountryj nailed it...

I also really love that you can have two completely separate settings. I've set one up as firm and poppy for riding smoother trails and/or jump trails where I don't need as much damping or wanna pop off every little side hit. The other setting is set up as super duper plush for plowing through extra chunky trails.

Is it worth the money? No. It's really only worth getting if you have the cash to spare and want the nicest things.

 

no I appreciate all your info!
I just meant I was going to look into some long term rescues but can’t tell who is biased and who isn’t with the crazy amount of sites/people out there- sure didn’t mean that to come off at you at all-

greatly appreciate the feedback

 

All good broski. My fault for misinterpreting.

 

Got a new stem on my Evo. After going back and forth I really liked the Spank Split. Plus it matches my seat, which is the same brand. But I just kept going back and forth and the Industry 9 and Race Face Turbine just looked a bit to fancy for my tastes on this particular bike. So anyways, I like the look of this and the reviews all say it's beefy without being heavy. I went 5mm shorter than stock, so it is pretty similar.

So anyways, I have a stupid question for Evo owners or anyone that may have an answer. My bike came with a stack of spacers under the stock stem and then the ones on top. But in the parts bag was a spacer cone, which I think looks better but also should shield the dirt more. This is ok to use in the stock neutral configuration, right? Everything seemed to mount up just fine but I figured I'd ask, since there are so many interchangeable parts for this thing. I saw no mention in the manual. in fact the manual uses the disc stack, which made me ask on here. Thanks.

 

Anyone need a lightly used 100% Status full face helmet? Size large and worn maybe 3 times. $50 to this crowd. I dont shred hard enough to use it.

 

I asked the question on here when I got my Evo, I didn’t know what the 2 cones were. Since mine was a frame up build, I only used the taller cone under my stem, and a small spacer on top. Things running great.

 

Lol ok cool. Ya it is a bit confusing. I have the tall cone, a small spacer, the stem and then 2 small spacers, then the cap. Everything seems fine but I just wanted to make sure. I appreciate the response. Thank you.

 

Finally got my Lynskey Pro29 built up! I built this one to ride around with my 16 month old daughter. I wanted something nice to cruise with her, but would also be a timeless hard tail that I could rip around on when she is big enough for her own bike.

I wanted to make sure it was something that always reminded me of her, so I put rainbow accents everywhere for my little rainbow baby. All rainbow ti bolts, chain ring, and a few other accents. Didn’t want to over do it.

Lastly, I’m a sucker for a light bike. I had an arbitrary goal of 25lbs without sacrificing functionality or durability. It sits at 25.35lbs with the seat bracket and flat pedals, so I’m happy to say I hit my target! That bracket is freaking heavy!











Two very different party modes: lol
