Budget?

How much travel do you want (don't put anymore than 130mm on a STP)

[Maffew]

I was running 03 DJ 3's on my STP 2 at 110mm of travel. IMO it made the bike feel soo much better.

[EasyRider]

A mate of mine runs a pair of 03 dirt jump III ( 130mm) and they runs very plush. You could pick a pair of second hand ones for cheap on farkin.

[k3n!f]

If you have the dough get some Fox Vanilla's. Mmmmmmm plush...

[Deniss]

I think you should buy my manitiou min ones with two spring kits for the low low price of $450 and if you live outside sydney free postage

[STP112]

i have an STP2 and bought 04 DJ3s for it. They feel great and i love em. I don't really notice the weight. So i reccomend them! good luck

Hay you should just by jakes bike hahah. i had the same problem as you i've got and stp. for 450 you need to go secondhand there's usually a set of marzzochi dj's that someones sellin on farkin. if you were gunna go rock shox sumthn like pikes or psylos. i got a pair of fox 125r's and there sweet!!! strong, light and butter smooth!! and yeah no more than 130mm travel.

cheers

hay man i thin k you should get some sweet dj 3s beceause if u run on normal stock forks u could break ur nose or some thing lik me [u cant ride 4 shit any way

[smiddy]

get some sherman flicks .... my mate runs them on his stp and they run sweet ...

[Poon_Daddy]

I've got Manitou Stance Flows on my STP2 n their sweet after u get them serviced. Great for anything. I always keep mine on 120mms. u can get them for $480(includes postage) from america.

[Le toro]

DJ3's would be a pretty good bet i reckon, solidly built.

[Jack_STP1]

i just bought a pair of 66 rc at vic mtb and they are 150mm travel. the guy rekons no more than that much travel. I agree with him. the drop offs are already 130mm i needed a bit more and better springs.

Wow that was funny.

Your gonna like snapping your frame, and I bet the geo on your bike is totally fucked.

[wooley_89]

i ran 173mm shermans on my STP, the geo was actually still good.

and it was wicked to ride, easily usable travel, good for street, DJ's, and a bit of downhill, and i never had no snapped frameness or anything.

Your a filthy liar.

The only shermans that come with that much travel, are breakouts, and breakout+

They have 1.5 steerer tubes, aka, they won't fit on a STP.

[HYOSHIMO]

planet x rigids or funn rigids....

[MTBWANNABE]

no no.. buy my Dirt Jumper II's.. :) (pm'd you)

[I forgot my name]

You might want to consider the DJ2 or 3's they are extremely light and feel great.

Ok light? You gotta be kidding me.
And personally, they feel like poo.

That isn't a 1.5 steerer, hence can't be breakouts.

[Mattyp]

well u are half right......that isnt a 1.5 steerer.

[Daver]

Then they can't be Breakouts. Breakouts are 1.5" only. Besides, the frame is made for ~100mm travel... any more and you may as well go for a different frame (something more DH oriented).

they are 150mm flicks, i'd also say they had a travel adjust knob on the top of the LHS stanchion.

[Mattyp]

yeh was wondering when someone would figure it out.
they're actually Sherman Flick+ with breakout+ lowers,

150mm on this frame is fine. i ride DH, BMX tracks, trails and anything in between and they're all good.

what stp2 do you have my mate had the 2005 stp2. after about 4 months he had snaped the legs off the crown. he went out and bougth a cheap second hand pair of fox vinilla r forx on it and now it looks so sweet and rides like a small boat in a calm sea

[|Matt|]

if you want decent ones id say spend a bit extra. Sell ur EXRs for about 150 here on farkin or ebay. save ur cash for a nice pair of DJII's or Pike SLs
Very Plush....:P
Dont get any more than 140 mm travel!
