By O-ring bore I meant the opening on the shock body.

Hi folks!
i'd like to ask do the big bore v2 shock bushing is the same size as the old bb v1 in b44? I'm asking because i ordered v2 big bore shock set for my b44.2 and i don't know if i need b5 shock bushing. Please let me know

Nope

Hello, im leaning towards upgrading my cf chassis to alum ones. Which one is better, Avids or Schelle? Thanks in advance. Cheers...

Is there a difference? They are designed by the same person. Avid is bronze colored and Schelle is black. They look very similar in both layout and details. I prefer the bronze/gold color myself.

The Schelle has holes pre drilled for the upcoming shorty pack conversion. I have the Schelle

THAT is a difference worth noting!! I would get the Schelle now then.

For sure I'm getting used to using saddle packs but shorty packs are easier and I'm sure lighter.

Thanks for the input guys. Cheers.

Hi could someone tell me what degree the b44.2 castor is please.

Ok guys, i have Just bought the schelle alu. The shorty compatiblity makes it very intresting. Most of the time I run my b44.2 on Astro An carpettracks, so morge stiffer chassis is A good option I think.

So my b44 rear tires are really loose and I don't know why. I run on and indoor clay track running Stevens set up for the reedy. I am running gold barcodes

Just installed my old C4 12mm shocks .

Been trying pistons & oil combo's.

Tried to make 4 hole pistons work.
The 55 size was ok, but not enough pack.

So I tried 4 hole 56 , only to end up way to stiff.

Next combo I tried is 3 x 1.4 .

I used a flat piston in front with 37.5 w & tapered 3 x 1.4 32.5w in the rear.

This proved to be very good.

The tapered piston in the rear allows a heavier oil with out losing proper shock action. They bring improved landings and the thicker oil helps control roll.

Still working on , if I discover a even better shock package will post about.

front

Ae blue spring,flat 1.4 x 3, 37.5 w, 1 x .030 limiter.

rear

Ae green spring, tapered 1.4 x 3, 32.5w, 1 x .030 limiter.

Just how much difference do you notice with the tapered vs flat? I'm curious because I accidentally bought tapered.

A little better handling and improved landings, give the combination a try .
Biggest difference is the improved stability & improved turn in entering the corner.
I'm running 21 mm & 20mm rear ride height .
