New-school SLix SuspensionGreetings,
I'm looking to replace the rear shock (5th Element AIr) on my other 2005 Moho SLiX. I want to switch over to a 2010 Rock Shox Monarch 4.2., but before I order the shock I believe that I will need to know 2 things:
1) Shock eye 2 eye length + Stroke (in mm) required for the '05 SLix
2) The mountain hardware is sized by bolt diameter (M6, M8, 3/8", M10) and frame mount-ID width (in mm), and so I'm wondering could you please tell me what sizing I need to fit the '05 SLix? If it helps out, the Monarch utilizes 1/2" (IS) mounting hardware.
Thank you so much for all of your time and consideration regarding this shock switch.
JE
PS: Are there any derailleur hangers
hangers left for purchase?

Good idea for 29er size dropouts. How bout 29er dropouts for the Slix? The 29er slix dropout would also allow the frame to acccomodate the 650b rear wheel for us riders under 5ft 10" who love the benefits of the larger wheel -

D.H.,
Thanks again for the info. Here is address (for a cut/paste job) to the NOS 2006 Zen frames (only available in Black and Small)

I AM SO happy to hear that the XC specific platform will be returning...if you happen to have any say in rear end design could you please ask that they have enough space for a 650b wheel
Best Regards

A comment on the question "Moho SLiX shock stats, pivots and derailleur hangers." in Mountain Cycle:
Dark Horse,
Thank you so much for your time + Slix model info.
Since you were such a big help before, that I have a couple follow-up Zen questions
Besides the "slicker" look of the shock mount location, what was the major reason why MC designers moved away from the lower vertical shock mount position (a la Slix)?
There are still a handful of NOS Zens selling on the web and I was wondering what year was the last mfg run for the Zen?
Since the true 4" XC specific FS frame is gone from current line, is there going to be a rebirth of this style of bike for all the Slix/Zen owners/riders (like myself) who continue to update their current rigs ('09 Cane Creek Cloud 9 on Slix gets an A)?
Thanks again for everything – Jay, on July 09, 2009 20:50 -

Hi,
Hmm...What's the difference between the Slix and Moho Slix, and is this determined by the year it was manufactured? I'm curious because I own a 2005 MC Slix frame that I purchased as NOS from my brothers LBS and shop manager wasn't an employee when they got frameset and he knew very little about it
