docc Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Why, that "LSL" is exactly the damper I bought as "Shindy!" They are Japanese, no? Using the lock nut under the upper bracket leaf is a clever solution versus the "spacer" I used to fill the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.) Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 btw... this a test of some common dampers. It shows the Trible Performace really did great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raz Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 SD. I took the 70mm version, because my bike needs only 65mm. The next length they sell is 120. Check their shop using "Lenkungsdämpfer". This shop is piss, by the way, "LSL" for instance will give you 0 results For the record the 70 mm one just fit the Sporti too, with little margin (be sure to wind the fork side ball joint all the way in). I dremeled out the ball from one of the old ball joints to use as the spacer that was needed in the pinch clamp. Looks and feels fine but I'm yet to try it (still waiting for the camshaft... DOH!). There are tiny grease zerks on the LSL ball joints. And they feel a little "dry". I'm not sure how to grease them, is that a standard zerk? Did any of you guys bother doing that?

The RedFrame trail is less, and the wheel base is shorter. But also, the later frames have more bracing both forward and with-in the subframe for the swingarm. The later rear wheel width was increased to 5.5" and the front forks/clip-ons were changed as well as mounting the headlamp/instruments on frame instead of on forks. All this in an effort to reduce weave and vibration. Oh, and notably, the early RedFrames were delivered with very soft, pointy Pirelli Diablo Corsa tires. I don't know if later bikes had more substantial springs, but the early RedFrames were pretty soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
