Default Date for new bits?

Anyone know when the new shocks and rocker pivots will be out? I'll be needing the new pivots soon (broken 4 of the lightweight ones ) but can wait for the shocks. Still, it would be nice to know when they will be available.

Hi Pesky

For now the X10 Rocker Crank Pivots are available and do fit, part number S110A. The shocks are still in production - our manufacturers are flat out. I am pushing for them to be with us asap! As soon as I get an exact date I will post it on here.

Hmm.....Tried ordering the X10 parts for the rockers last week but was told by Xtreme you were all out (everyone else ordering them) so had to go with the standard X11 version. The Pred really didn't like the Swindon tack as far as these rocker pivots were concerned (mind you, landing the jumps backside first did cause the front suspension to slap down hard......my bad ). If the X10 pivots are now in stock and the new ones won't be available for a few weeks, I'll get some of these.

33mm seems to be the best bet.

Is that what problem you had with your X11 when you first got it garry? That the pushrods were too long?

Yea i had them set wrong, trying to gain more droop on the front end of the car and it caused alot of leverage and force and the having landings on that big jump that night forced the rocker pivots to snap.

But its fine now !

when your pushrods were to long what did they measure garry? how do you like the car with 34mm pushrods does the extra mm help?
