TF do, they will probably tune the shock for you too

Nice, cheers. Got lbs on the case currently so will see what they come up with. Topaz looks good though if the support is there.

I've got a Scout with a Van RC MX tune and a Pushed Float X. They feel different, I run much less sag on the coil to compensate for the more linear stroke but it is more supple and I think there is more grip. Not having a climb switch is a problem when you think too hard about it but it's easy to forget about once you go down again. I think on balance that I prefer the coil most of the time.

Hello All,

Did anyone have any luck fitting a X2/DHX2 to a fuel ex 9?

I am looking to change the shock out ideally with an X2 but the dimensions are 210*52.5 and there aren't any stock with that measurement.

Lots of people say about putting some 'ghetto' plastic shim inside to work, but it doesn't sound legit.

Thanks!

I’m in the same boat.

im on my third shock on the Fuel.

Sram think my frame may be out of alignment as the shaft is worn on one side.

theyre sending an RC3 out under warranty, but the frame has gone to Trek to be checked.

the Fuel is the best bike I’ve ever ridden, a coil could make it even better.....could it?

A 210x55 shock fits and doesn't have any clearance issues, obviously it bumps up the travel a little bit.

I run a 210x55 Push ElevenSix on my Fuel.

I would say the coil improves it significantly.
