got the front TTX cartridges, tottaly recommend, top stuff and great value for money compared to WP SXS gear
heard a rumour there is now a rear TTX shock if so will get one for sure but havent chased it up yet.

the 2010 TTX cartridges are ready, however 2010 TTX shock in not here yet-there was some delay from Ohlins factory...2010 shock is supposed to have major improvements in design and valving, 2010 cartridges now have a separate REB/COMP circuits....Funny, but I refuse to ride the bike until my TTX setup is on it...will post as soon as i have the setup :mrgreen:
Won't you want to feel the difference and hopefully the massive improvement over the WP stuff?suhoi27 said:
Hope is my last weapon
....seriously, I really hope that TTX will make me feel happy-no mater if it is only because of the money spent or because of the real benefits.....only the future will tell

I am also waiting on this one...... I have yet to order my shock. I keep giving in to the "just one more tweak" syndrome.... :?
The suspension is great on these bikes right out of the box in a lot of conditions..............but when you push them, some glaring issues come up. For me it's bottoming resistance. I've gone through a couple rounds of testing springs, a couple rounds of different valving and a fair amount of time spinning clickers. I'm going to point the finger at the OC forks. I think that's where I'm not happy. I considered the TTX inserts, but I don't really feel like learning how to tune a new brand. I am going to have my tuner do up a pair of CC forks very soon and I'll start testing them. I hope that will cure my issues.

yes but the OC needs a different "rebound" adjuster for the TTX
the thing in the bottom of the forks that holds the cartridge in the OCs becomes the thing that holds the rod in when you go to TTX.
they do make them but you need to specify which fork (oc or TC) it is for.

serpexc, i take it you would have tried different air gaps?
the trouble with going up a spring rate is it makes it a bit harsher in the 1st part of travel, but you will have better bottoming resistance.right.
winding your comp clickers in will make dampening harsher all the way through the stroke.similar sort of problem as going up a spring rate.
the air gap controls the progression of the fork,but there is a limit to what you can go,as i have found out.
they say if you have to go under 110mm air gap to control the bottoming resisance, then you should be going up to the next spring rate.
what air gap have you got now?
i was going under 110mm air gap to get the bottoming resisance i reqired so i had to go a stiffer spring.
when i went up to the next spring rate, i had to push the air gap out a bit further & back the dampening off a bit.i also went less spring preload from 5mm down to 1-2mm.this altered the way the bike sat so i had to push the forks down through the triples to compensate.
i have a 10mm top out, so this gives me about 315mm travel.(about 25mm more than stock) so backing the preload off on mine didn't alter the stactic suspension travel.stocko it will of course.
that was the only way i could get the next spring rate up just as plush as a softer spring,in the 1st part of travel.
it takes a bit of jiggling around, but thats all part of the fun.
just a few thoughts you may try before throw money away.

Weed makes a very good point about the travel
roughly every 6mm increase is like going up a spring rate in bottoming resistance without any extra harshness that normally comes with a stiffer spring and you get the effect of a smaller air gap for bottoming but a larger one for plushness,
how much travel do the TTX inserts have? its about 315mm from memory, so its not all just anodizing that makes them work

I'm not sure what my air gap is, or how much oil is in the forks. I'll have to ask my tuner. You're talking about doing this to non TTX modded forks correct?popup said:
I'm going to add 10cc of fork oil at a time and retest. Thanks for the nudge.popup said:
did someone tried different than Ohlins fork and shock fluids for their TTX? I might have troubles finding Ohlins lubricants!!! :cuss:

the spi-3 from smart performance is very good in my TTX and cheaper than the australian prce for ohlins 1303
