Don't see why not, its only the lower mount on the piston thats different.
This is what puts me off having another specialized. Why do they have to **** about with everything? Whats wrong with a normal mounting method or a normal length i2i?
No lower shock eye bush, traditionally the first part of a full sus system to wear out. We are talking about Specialized, who have one of the best customer service departments of any bike brand anywhere. I would buy a spesh frame and shock for peace of mind.
The thing that puts me off a Spesh is the SRAM gears, bb30, questionable hubs, non-standard headset, etc! IMHO obviously.
Everything else can be upgraded to get rid of it and as a frame only option the BB30 is the only problem. Having said that I have never tried BB30 but I believe there is an adaptor available so normal BBs can be used.
I however am quite picky with what shock I would want to use so while I like the frame and fsr designs I want to be able to change shock easily if I so wish.
BB30 XO's are perfect after a year on my bike. Don't understand the negativity towards I on this forum. Stiffer BB spindle, BB frame area, better ISCG05 integration.
How about an 09 enduro so then? You can put whatever shock you want on it and it will also run 160mm forks
Na I don't like the look of them. Although the shock sizing is a big draw.
Mines a 2013 stumpy evo carbon and running 34 160mm floats with 50mm stem slammed and Easton havoc carbon low riser. Ride it anywhere and everywhere. Totally rocks. Never got the whole talas thing to be honest.
Now that's what I wanted to hear. Sounds almost how mine would be setup but.
I definitely think that a stumpy is a viable option. I've just got to keep my eyes open and see what I can see on eBay. I'm pretty sure it will be the year for a new frame in 2013.
Done ..............
