10milmike Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Heys guys I need alittle help, So I am Rebuilding my 10Mil, it is not a dune bike, but once in a blue moon I will ride my bike From wash 10 thru the dunes to olds. My question is what would be a better shock the Marvin Shaw Comp or Hill Shooter? It says on there web site that the comp is duneable with minor adjustments, what are those Adjustments? Quote
shanYE west Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 they adjust the valving and change the oil weight. Quote
10milmike Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 they adjust the valving and change the oil weight. Ok, so can is that only on the comp? Is the hill shooter also Adjustable? What is the different between the two? Quote
shanYE west Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 the type of valving is different on the hillshooter. They're both adjustable Quote
10milmike Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Ok, thank u for that Info, Now what size should I get I have 2+1 A arm, I know the stock shocks are 14 1/2 Inchs. Minus spring sage. So should I go 15. I can not measure because the bike is all apart. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 In my opinion, stock shocks are better than shaws on a bike that will be duned at all. But shaws are pretty, so if you must have them, get stock length comps. Quote
shanYE west Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 i agree.. i wouldn't use shaws in that type of application either.. Set of works shocks are the best bang for the buck. Quote
RadarRacing Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 The difference in a Comp and a Hillshooter is mostly just the oil and nitrogen capacity is less with a comp and it weighs slightly less. They are very similar but the comp won't handle whoops or bumps as well. If you ride hard or like whoops or dune ride other than drag race then I wouldn't get shaws at all. Quote
camatv Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 shaws work ok but you need to get the right length and be able to play with the nitrogen for them.. i also prefer works on dunner/ drag bikes. the 1 or so lb i save with a marvin is not worth the beating i take from the shocks. rear also.. stock banshee set up right feels excellent. OR r-1 if you want it LOW> if you want a light weight fun to ride shock the fox floats are bad ass. i'm not sure why more people dont think about them on a dune/ drag build.. Quote
10milmike Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 I ordered works two weeks ago, still waiting on them, but thanks for all the input. Quote
10milmike Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 The fox are bad ass shocks, but they cost a arm and a leg. Quote
camatv Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 650ish is an arm and a leg? you dont need evols on a dunner. you will like th eworks either way! Quote
