Those CODA Expert cranks and chainrings is uber-light! Do not get rid of them.

First pass edit.

That's very cool! I wish I had the patience to do something like this, but I also don't really have the interest in learning how to edit a video properly. I often think about filming the service of a Headshok, since the only information out there is just plain wrong and incomplete.

Yes, it definitely takes a lot longer and more patience when trying to capture this in photos/video. Especially when you hit roadblocks. If you notice my other thread on brakes the adapters weren't fitting, and I hadn't gotten the brake housing/cables to finish the build, so had to end it where it did.

Gotta recapture some of the cost somehow I'll let you guys know when I put the components up for sale.

Looks great. Something similar is on my WTB list. Newest front suspension Cannondale in the stable is a 1992 SV900. Newest MTB is a 1995 M900.
