Mountain Steed Springs by Specialty Retro
Products
Specialty Retro Products has developed a line
a custom made springs to replace your worn out elastomers (aka MCU’s). These
springs will work with all 3 stock travel lengths. They are now compatible with
all top cap types supporting a wider range of forks with just one design. These
kits are engineered and custom made using corrosion resistant material to work specifically with these specified forks. These are
not an off the shelf items that sort of work and make a lot of noise. They are
the real deal.
Rockshox had have some variation in there Judy
damper cartridge sizes as well as top caps so our kits include tuning
chips that can be added to compensate for all sizes.
Your kit will include detailed installation instructions for the Judy forks as well as some additional maintenance tips to keep your shock running longer. Your springs should always be installed well
greased. All kits will include a 1/2 oz tube of Slickoleum Suspension Grease
which is equivalent to the manufacture recommended Judy Butter.
If you have the 95/96 forks don’t forget to
add a new set of dust wipers or a Titanium bolt upgrade kit. See our other
listings.
These kits will work with the
following forks:
1995 and 1996 RockShox Judy XC, SL, DH and
Specialized FSX
1997 and 1998 RockShox Judy C, XC and SL
1997 and 1998 RockShox Indy C, XC and SL
1995 and 1996 RockShox Quadra 21R
Manitou EFC (YES Manitou EFC forks uses the same kits, these forks have 3″ of travel)
The length of the forks travels has an influence
on the way the springs ride based on your rider weight. We have developed a chart
to help you decide which color is right for your application. If you fall into
a category with two colors to choose from the color on the left will be
slightly firmer and the color on the right will be slightly softer.
Please see the second image above for the chart.
If you are unsure of your forks travel here is
a rough guild. The 1995 and 1996 Judy XC, SL and FSX can standard with the 2”
or 2.5” of travel. The 3” travel was an upgrade option for those forks. The
Judy DH from those years’ came standard with the 3” travel. If you want to
confirm the actual travel you can do it one of two ways.
-If the fork is still working properly, lift
up the black rubber boot/cover on one of the legs and add some grease or a snug
ziptie around the leg right at the rubber seal. Ride the bike and try to fully
compress the shock until the feel it bottom out on rubber stop. Lift the boot
back up and measure how far up the fork leg the grease or ziptie has moved.
-If your MCU/Elastomers are dead the fork will
most likely be in the fully compress position. Lift up the rubber boot and add
a piece of take onto the leg just above the black rubber seal. Then lift up
from the stem with one hand and push down on the front wheel with the other
hand until the legs are full extended. Lift up the boot and measure the
distance between the piece of tape you added and the black rubber seal.
Our
kits maximize all of the available space inside the fork legs. If your old
elastomers have started to corrode the inside of the tube installation of the
springs can be difficult. If you are unable to install the spring we will take
them back and issue a refund.
