Simmo737 went that route, with a re-valve first and then the Ohlins magic - I think SwaziMatt is still on the revalved Sachs that I set up for him.

Thanks for the info. I'm having my Sachs valving updated right now by LTR. I'm tempted to tell him "never mind" and just have the TTX inserts shipped to him and have him spring and valve them.
Next question: Are the TTX "all that?"

Yep I am still on the twowheels forks and racetech shock and the difference from the stock sachs is night and day, went from a totally unpredictable fork that robbed a lot of self confidence and kill my arms to one that tracks true and I know what it will do before I hit the obstacle and I am currently pounding rocks for most of my rides these days
There is a part of me that still bookmarks the ads for ttx but I honestly don't think they are worth getting divorced over (although there would then be a lot more time available for riding ) Anyway I do not think I ride fast enough to need the ttx

Believe the hype! The TTX carts are magic. I know they have shipped them out with different valving for different years. For mine I have not even had to touch the valving. Tried 2 x different weight oils in the leg only and barely even touched the oil volumes. I could probably take a bit more out yet but I'll worry about that when I service them. They just seem to eat everything up that I can throw at them. I've jumped a water bar and caved them into a square edge at speed and they tracked true. Small trail trash is disregarded. Downhills, like Simmo said feel much more confident.
IMO I found the TTX forks to be a far more significant upgrade than the shock (misfortunes aside). Are they worth $1300?? Probably not when you look at the other options available with KYB/Showa. |

KYB SSS for a fraction of the cost and large tuning knowledge base.

Yep. Mine are as nice as valved, tweaked and surgeried RG3 47mm cc Showa, correct for my weight and terrain. The feel is different, more going on but the impacts are not transmitted. This probably sounds a bit bs kungfu crap talk but you sense the terrain more.....grasshopper.

I've had a look into it and unless your in the US it's about the same due to freight costs.

I got my ttx cartridges for $775. That made them just as cheap as buying KYB forks and a spare wheel/ clamps etc.
I am very happy with the ttx. I have sprung them for my weight but have not revolved. I would try a set without revolving first. You need a good baseline anyway. |
