Not to trump peaches but I've got a 1st gen Fox DHX Air 5.0 shock (8.5 x 2.5) that I could donate. Only caveat is that it needs a rebuild or some sort of service as it is stuck fully compressed.

I just bought PeachesN'Cream's 2007 DHX for the Karma project bike!
Peaches - Thanks for the deal and letting me call dibs on your shock!
mrryde and ZomblibulaX - Thank you for the cash, your donations covered most of the cost!A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

IG, I'm still in on this, but over my head in multiple projects (re-organizing my shop + 1 build and X many tunes.) As a good faith move I'm sending what is in my PP account as a gift to keep things rolling until I get my shit together and send some parts.

I'll send the shock out on Monday.
Looks like all the other random parts I have on hand to contribute have already been covered by better bits and probably not worth shipping in attempt to sell. For example RF Evo DH cranks — will work, but not the best choice : )

Found a squeaky-clean DHX 5.0 in my post office box today.

Kinda forgot about this, you still want/need the tire and seatpost.
a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I received a nice care package from powking12. I haven't had time to inventory everything in the box, but I will update the list on a page 1 when I do.

I've tried to list what parts I've received and what I still need in my original post. I need to figure out what parts I have that will go on the bike and what parts I need to sell. Originally Posted by gonehuckin

As I've also said before, I will happily accept any parts generous Maggots are willing to donate to the Karma bike project.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Bump!
Spring is coming and the Karma project bike is moving forward. If you have something to contribute, I would really appreciate it if you could take a few moments and drop your donation in a box and send it to me.

How about a 170mm 04 888, I'm too cheap to pay Marz retail for one and don't have the resources to try and fix the broken one.
It needs a comp cartridge otherwise it's in great shape, I think it had been recently gone through and had the bushings replaced before i got it.

Hell yes I'm interested! But I don't know much about triple 8s from 11 years ago. It sounds great, but I would love some input from anyone that is familiar with this fork. Originally Posted by SuperChief

I know the damn thing is cherry besides the broken cart. Kris at Go-Ride said he could order the cartridge about a year ago. If you mention the karma project, he may be willing to work with you on the price. What he quoted me wasn't crazy, like $125 I think?

OK, sounds like a good deal on a good fork. The question is whether it's the right fork for the AS-X. Originally Posted by bagtagley

Call Krispy to ask about the cost for the cartridge and ask him his opinion on it. Originally Posted by InspectorGadget

I'm not shy, I called Marzocchi directly and asked if they would be willing to donate the cartridge and a new seal kit for the rebuild. The person I spoke with was very nice and asked me to submit my request in writing, which I have done.

That's a fine fork. You can really butter them out with a little tweaking.
