as far as i know, you just need a 10s derailer set a 10s chain and 10s casette and a crank that works with 10s. Otherwise there is no diference.

I often visit the Ruzomberok bike park and prices seems to be pretty good there
However, I can give you a contact to my service dude, who also often appears in Ruzomberok. The delivery cost from here to there, shouldn't be too much. I was thinking of getting a tapered fork (after all I bought the standard 1 1/8) but when I asked him a couple of weeks ago, he said he had a 1 1/2 lower ZS cup for the '11 big hit. Let me know if I can help you.

Hi, I just bought a dhx 5.0, to replace the coil shock on my big hit. Couldn't replace it yet, but could you please let me know what do you mean by modified link? What exactly is the "link" you modified and what was the modification? The link below shows an image on the 5th page, according to that you could explain to me whta I should do. http://service.specialized.com/collateral/ownersguide/new/assets/pdf/FS… My fear is that the bottom part of the shock seems to be too close to the frame's link part. Is it possible that I have to rasp it out a...

lupakt! If you live in a more civilized country than I do (Hungary is the place), the least that your bikepart dealer should do, is taking the risk of ordering buth the lower cups, which could match the bike and have the incorrect one back to the retailer. Even my dealer did like that, and here, every penny is a subject of serious bargain. (That is the real shame) But like I wrote, the upper cup in my bike is a EC34/28.6. And to find out the correct dimensions for the lower cup for a tapered tube you should probbably...

Well it is called the mix&match. It actually means that you can buy different sizes of upper and lower headset parts separately. In case you have a tepered steerer tube, I can't really give you a nuke proof advice, since I'm using the standard 1 1/8 tube. My service guy seemed to know exactly what I needed, but when he tried to install the ordered part, it turned out that it was just too wide to fit, so he ordered a new one (which took for ever since no one gives a thing about bikes here during the winter, but...

In my case, the price for the complete Specialized factory (upper&bottom pieces) headset would have been around 65$, (I really wasn't satisfied with them, they gave up quite easily and quickly) The price for the Gusset headset was around 75$ You might as well think of getting an EC (External Cartridge) lower cup, which makes the headtube angle more similar to the factory 65,5° (provided by double crown forks). I've just bought a lyrik solo air (170mm) and I kind of feel the need for a bit less angle on the headtube. Good luck with all of it.

Hi, I'm using a Gusset mix&match upper and lower headset, they seem to be sweet as pie in my 2011 Big Hit with a fork having an 1 1/8 steerer tube http://www.gussetbikes.com/products-information.php?id=HDGUBE34 The lower cup I beleive is a ZS49/30, and the upper cup is an EC34/28,6 (but I have to check the exact sizes at home) Make sure you get the Zero Stack version, otherwise you might find the crowns (if double crown fork is used) and the steerer tube too short. How ever I've found that with the new headset (and teh new SGC), the overall length of...

If you use a standard float R or RP23 that doesn't have a piggyback reservoir you don't need to do anything except mount it with the air can toward the front. 8.5x2.5 and try to find a heavier damping rate since the bike has a high leverage ratio.

Hi. I'd like to replace my coil spring shock to a fox float air shock in a 2011 big hit. Could you help me with what parts should be modified an in what way? The answer would help a lot. Tahnks.
