|   New giant DH stroke length? | Johnny
Sep 5, 2001 9:15 AM | | Does anyone know what it is and is there a difference between the comp and team frame? |

| are you sure about that? | f1moto
Sep 5, 2001 10:58 AM | | 3.0 stroke with a 8.5 eye to eye would make for vertually no (i mean none too!) bushing overlap or sealing area in the damper. Are you sure its not a 2.5 stroke x 8.5 eye to eye like the Turner?

Sep 5, 2001 11:54 AM | | Actually, 9.0" is the eye-to-eye length, but I'm not 100% sure on the stroke. I know it's 9" because the '00 model had an 8.5" e-t-e, and I couldn't use that shock on my new bike, Rock Shox is making me one.
The only difference between the 2 frames is the paint job, nothing else. Both use the ProDeluxe rear shock, and full bearings. Hope this helps. Feel free to email with any ?'s.

| the RockSHox shock | f1moto
Sep 5, 2001 12:12 PM | | I know RS make a 9.0 x 2.75 stroke shock, which actually with the bumper on the shaft only compresses 2.5 inches (because the bumper wont compress past .25 inches without a tremendous amount of force) is this the shock it uses, or is it an all new super special shock from the RS guys? Does it use 4-way blackbox hooha, or is it a standard super deluxe ?(or whatever this years marketing catchphrase at RS is)
just curious really

| ProDeluxe... | JamesGiant
Sep 5, 2001 12:41 PM | | The bike uses the standard R.S. shock, I think that the BlackBox shocks are "not quite ready to primetime" at the moment, but I'm kinda secrectly hoping that they mix my shock up with a spare shock for Myles, and I get the works one...
The only really special thing about the shock is that it's all black. I know, it's not a function thing, but seeing it all blacked out, body, spring, resevoir, everything, is pretty damn cool!
I'll post some reviews/feelings after I get the shock, and finally get some time in on the bike (just need a rear 12mm hub, and the shock).
