Guys....
The Eblade has landed, and very nice it is too.
Problem: Has Max Flo on the bottom, with 1.5 bottle, its too kin long, can anyone suggest a suitable drop forward that will work with this, without moving it too far forward, obviously the bottle has to clear the frame...something pretty would be good too.
Cheers

Shocktech drop is quite nice, obtain them from rekkabarrels.co.uk
eclipse drop also...purely aesthethic (spelling) choice mate. they all do the same job.

Seen the DYE ones at planet, they dont seem to be doin there own ones anymore....but the DYE ones have a Rail on the bottom, which appears to be useless to me, and only one screw hole...no good? Also , what length...thinking prolly 5 inch, dont want it to drop it down too far, but moving it forwards ok.
Need to know guys coz, Im not familiar with all this drop milarky!

would i be right in saying that max flo's have dovetail joints? i'm an angel air man so i don't know. if they do have dovetail joints then the rail will actually be quite important as thats what your maxflo will slide onto.

Rule of thumb:
all drop forwards are roughly the same and you cannot really go wrong with any of them. the only differences would be length. short are about 3 inches and long are about 5 to 6 inches. However make sure you buy a branded name for quality and buy from a company or person you trust. Same with anything really.

edit: should also point out that the drop will have two screw holes anyway to attach all different types of systems on it.
