Post your wicked BANSHEE thread....

Sounds good then. How much are they asking?

630 shipped. Silly not to really.
There are some at 170mm for $650 delivered on eBay too, as well as some 35mm Auron RC2 EQs for $600 delivered which I'm thinking about. They also have a slightly short a-c

 

[Rorschach]

They are great and there is a new EQ one on eBay for $650

Yeah, seen those too

Silly not to. Great fork at twice the price.

I think the Auron might be sold

I don’t see a problem - I see opportunities!

Keep an eye up next week and they may have another set for sale. They sold a set last week that I missed and then a few days later they had another set for sale. In one of the photos they have 4 sets layed out so should be at least one left. Also offer $50 less than they are asking.

From memory a few people on here have them*, but FYI pretty sure they have a 10mm longer A2C than the equivalent travel Fox/RS forks. Not necessarily a bad thing for what you're intending though.

* @wkkie @yuley95 ?

Yep, exactly right. My Durolux set at 150 is the same height as my Z1 at 160.

Good to know, cheers

How do you find them?

 

[Rorschach]

Bought the ones off Facebook. $630 delivered, set at 150mm with a 170mm air shaft
2 rides old apparently and look it

Awesome value for money. They come just slicked up with slicko, no oil. If you add 5-10ml in each leg it helps.

You don't even need to drop the lowers to add oil, there's a bleed port in each leg, just unscrew it and add it in there.

It makes a significant difference to them too. Super smooth when you add lube via the ports.

One for youse lot: https://nsmb.com/articles/min-max-daves-banshee-spitfire-v2/

I didn't realise how forward thinking Banshee's geometry was, numbers are pretty good for a near decade old frame.

You might need to resize. If you're doing it on your phone you could screen shot the photos and crop.

I've always wanted a third nipple.

I think the Brand X headsets use the same size bearings as the Cane Creek ones. You might as well use the Brand X headset until the bearings are cooked and just replace the bearings.
