[ec_dh]

ive just bought a 2006 mongoose ec-d and wana know what people think bout em if those who own one have changed anything and is anyone sellin a 350weight spring for a dhx-5.0

[robmann]

Dont know tonnes about them except that they are supposed to be pretty darn good and come with pretty decent spec for the price.

yea it has pretty damm good components out of the factory sept the forks and back spring are a lil firm for me but im only 50kgs

yeh i just changed the rear spring to 350lb and packed in two spacers behind the top guard on the chain device to bring it closer to the chain ring. it came off about 5 times before i did this and hasnt come of since.
enjoy..

and yeh the forks were REAL stiff at the start but fiddles and now they have worn in prefect. not going to bother chaging spring...but i weigh 63 or sumthing

many ppl ride them here in SA.... We are sort of known as a Mongoose state... is that a good or a bad thing?

Well as said above... the rear end comes over sprung stock, unless ur around 100kgs, at first the moving BB in the travel is a bit weird to some riders but once used to it you'll be fine. Yes the chain devices dont come shimmed out and the mrp's WILL drop chains without being shimmed out to achive a necessary gap.

They are a good buy for the price with an awsome spec.... When I have riden them they pedaled pretty well, corned well, but seemed a litle harsh on sharp quick bumps...

EC-DH M/L : i took out a couple of steertube spaces to drop the top crown stem/handlebar height to give a bit more weight over the front wheel,
also i have shimano saint canks and an E-13 chainguide. I weigh 70kg and use the stock spring 450lb and have the correct amount of sag, 150 psi in reservoir, no bottom-out resistance (turn it outwards), Pro pedal turned 3clicks. rebound turned ???clicks- feels good.
