You can't go wrong as long as the price is decent (aka: you save money buying it used even after the cost of a rebuild/revalve). It's a fully custom setup shock, so as long as you're honest with your description of your own riding, it'll come back tailored to you.
The Minion DHF front and rear is a pretty good setup as most have said. A Minion DHF rear is a pretty fast rolling tire, braking (especially at higher speed) is mediocre though. It tends to slide a good bit, but doesn't ever feel like it's just going to slip out from under you. I think it is a...
I ordered socks from discount cycling and they came quickly. It's unfortunate to hear about the mishaps some other users have had, but like some have said, I don't think he is out to scam anyone. Hopefully things turn around in the future and everything gets ironed out, as the deals he was...
I ended up getting Avid Code R's, haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but I'm pretty sure they're going to work well based on the feedback of some local guys.
I'd also be interested in trying the new XTR Trail stuff, it looks real nice.
Get the avalanche cartridge for it when they're available. If you're already happy with your fork it's just going to make it that much better, and definitely better than an off the shelf boxxer damper.
I'm kind of curious about that as well, I'm about to order a 35mm boxxer and I've got more hayes/avid boxxer adapters than I can count. Hopefully I don't need to buy even more adapters.
The reason I didn't like the saints is mainly the servo wave levers. The way they feel, and the amount of deadstroke that they have didn't work well for me. It may be an issue with the bleed though, so I may have to reconsider them.
Does anyone with formula's and small hands have input on...
I'd like to get some input and advice on some new brakes.
I need a set of brakes with levers that get close to the bars (as close as avid juicy's or hayes mags), a good amount of power, consistent lever feel, don't fade during long runs. I have avid juicy's right now, and they fade and don't...
If you've never ridden before or only ridden a few times, I'd say just rent a bike at the mountain. At the end of the season I'd just check the classifieds here or on ebay to try to find something inexpensive. I'm not sure what's popular these days, but a couple years ago people swore by used...
Well previously I had a very low stack height due to the E13 cups, but I think the FSA should be just as good (had to run a spacer under my boxxer crown previously anyways). I'm going to order that FSA soon though.
I've got a thomson 1.5 stem, so it's 0deg rise.
However, I've been looking...
I just switched from the e13 cups (using a 1 1/8 fork) to a 1.5" fork. Unfortunately that means my bars are quite a bit higher due to the FSA Pig DH headset I'm currently running. Any recommendations for a decent 1.5 headset with a low stack height?
