Notice much difference PH? don't think I can have them as my front mech cable stop is on the rear of the seat tube.
BB I guess we are "Homers" in MTBR parlance?

Pedal head how do you find the push rockers. I've recently aquired a 5 spot HL and was wondering about fitting some along with say a talas 36 in preparation for a trip to the Alps in the summer. My front mech hanger is round the back so I realise there may be an issue there but I'm sure that can be surmounted. Anybody else got experience of running big forks and longer rockers on the pre DW 5 spot? Oh and nice bike by the way Hadge!

My 04 5 Spot has Turner 5.5 rockers, with 2.1 Nevagals on Mavic 717's it doesn't get close to hitting the cable hanger

I prefer the push rockers with a longer fork (including the pikes). Feels better balanced front & back. I reckon it'd be ace with a talas 36 on the front. I doubt you'll get any problems unles you're running 2.4 rubber queens or something.

Haven't had chance to build the DW Flux up yet.When that happens i'll give a direct comparison against the 2004 5-Spot.
Thanx MaxPosted 2 years ago # -
Here's my flux, 05 i think. i've had the burner and 5 spot (HL) (as well as asr sl, an iron horse something and a few others). I find the flux better for most trail centers, as I'm far from knarly. It's plenty light, i've had it below 24lbs with pedals before, it's about 25.5lbs here i reckon.
It's great!
I did love the 5 spot thou, very nice bike.

When I built my 5 Spot up I used most of the parts of my Spesh Enduro and never made any attempt to build it up light but after weighing it I was pleasantly surprised by it's 27.7lb which includes some heavy-ish rimmed wheels. My older Spot came in at 30lb ish but had the DHX coild shock but after having it's first proper ride out yesterday I was impressed with the Pushed RP23 and so it looks like it'll be staying on for good

Hmm, this thread isn't helping persuade me to sell my Fivespot frame, which has been sitting unused for almost a year. Just can't bring myself to sell such a lovely thing, though I simply have too many bikes.

me neither i keep meaning to sell mine but change my mind at last min. i really should have sold to hadge the op when i was going to then it would be a thread about my bike and it would be too late lol

Firestarter - Hadge's old 5 Spot used to be mine and then I bought it back from him, I then stupidly sold it again before I realised that he wanted a 5 Spot again. If you do consider selling yours in the future, keep me in mind as I could be interested - I'll look after it I promise!
