Re: Re: Why would that be a problem? If it is possible I assume it's better to have a Bonty crown on a Bonty frame, as opposed to the Mag 21 crown. True?

Hey Fluffy Chicken, not sure if you'll see this cause it's been a while, but I feel like an old pro now after months of researching different shock options... here's what I've done: I bought a mint condition 1998 z2 Bam which has the bolt on steerer and I swapped the 1 1/8" out for an original...

I think this post answers my question: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=279755#p2088506

Hey all, I've still got the original rigid Bontrager Race fork that came with my '93 Race light. Does anyone know if I can bolt the Race crown onto Rock Shox Mag 21 forks? As far as I can tell they're both 1" diameter, but that's as scientific as I've gotten about it :) I'm looking for a...

Re: Thank you Sho220, that was an incredibly helpful reply. I haven't picked up the Klein yet, but will tomorrow and am pretty sure it's got a threadless headset on it, so it sounds like I really don't need to worry about the length of the steerer, just buy the best 1-1/8" Marzocchi 26"er I can...

Re: Fluffy Chicken, perhaps you can answer my question I posted above... about steering tube lengths/bike size... it's just above your post. thanks.

That is a beauty! I've heard those Grove's are great. Which model/year Bomber is that? And I was wondering too, since I can't seem to find a 1997 or 98 Klein tech manual online that specifies steering tube lengths, is there a rule of thumb for like a med/large roughly 18" mtb for a 5-9/5-10...

Re: haha. I almost feel sorry for the poor Judys... they get a lot of positive reviews, but they also get a lot of really negative reviews that sound exactly like yours. I could always stick the Marzocchi on my Klein and the Judy on my girlfriends 15" Bontrager. The judy is a little lighter so...

Some may quibble with the "retroness" of my recent purchase: a 1998 Klein Attitude (identical model that Patriot66 just sold on here) with a Judy XC oil dampened/cartridge shock. I don't know much about the Judys, but haven't exactly heard glowing reviews and I saw a Marzocchi Bomber Z4...

Re: shock upgrade?... perhaps... btw... I just picked up a Marzocchi Bomber Z4 Flylight 80mm shock to replace the original Judy. I got it for $125 on ebay. Saw it with 5 mins left and no bids and just pushed the button :) I haven't even picked up the bike yet and I'm already upgrading it! I...

Re: I just bought this exact same bike... ...except you clearly put a ton of upgrades on yours. I must say it looks beautiful. I realize these are not the sought after pre-Trek Attitudes, but this '98 in particular is the prettiest of the post Trek I think. I love that blue and debossed...
