Still going, although it's had another complete rebuild since this pic -- now has Rebas and SRAM bits and lighter wheels. Still ace

seriously if you go for the coil. Keep it. Even if you don;t use it straight away. The DHX 5 transforms the older heckler. Even the DHX air appraently isn't ideal for the older heckler compared to a coil. If you want light weight then you wouldn't have chosen a heckler really. They are not heavy it's just imho opinion to get the best out of them strong kit is better.Also make sure you protect the reat trianle well from cable rub. And make sure you run fulllength cables. Had all sorts of problems for normal non full length cbales. Also make sure the mech cable has lots of length. Had all sorts of ghost shifting occur initally although the cable looked fine in length - although basically it was too short
HAVE FUN and post a pic when finished ( unlike me haha)

Thanks for all the pics and feedback
In terms of build I'm certainly going to go with coil lyriks for the front as I love the set I already on the chammy. I'll keep it coil on the back although I may upgrade the shock depending on how it runs. Can always lighten it up next year if I do decide to do a 24 hr.

I have only used an air float.. so others may be better. I run air pikes upfront...is fine

Run Lyriks on mine.
Used the RP23 mine came with at first then fitted a 5th Element. Recently re-fitted the RP23 for a comparison and it felt awful. Coil shock went straight back on!

I'm thinking of buying a Heckler frame. Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between 2009+2011 models? Are the geometries the same? TIA

Geometry the same.
Changes were minimal, pinch bolts on swing arm replaced with wedge bolts and head tube gussets removed. Nothing fundamental.

Cheers jh, just what I needed

Redesigned swingarms because the older ones used to crack and internally strengthened instead of a gusset which made it a bit lighter I think.

oh! Well lets hope mine new purchase doesnt crack then!

Here's one for the old skool people, it's changed a bit since this pic component wise but nothing major.
I'm considering a new frame but really not sure what to go for considering I love this old thing so much!
