    Marzocchi - Any updates?

    Supposedly Fox got pallets and pallets of old 'zoke marketing stuff with the acquisition. Like clothing, riding gear, hats, etc. There are rumors of bomber girl posters to be had....I am working on this.

    Hill rumoured to be excluded from Australian Champs team

    C'mon Australia, you are blowing it! Seems to me if you ever won the rainbow stripes, you should have the opportunity to go every year until you die! Sammy could always pull an Eli Tomac and "respectfully decline".

    New Leftalized Enduro?!

    Ooooh damn! Now with the weed box, these are exciting times! So does this mean Specialized is dying, because they sure as hell aren't innovating.

    DVO Topaz?

    If the Topaz is anything like the DVO coil shock; it will be dependable, adjustable and serviceable. "Nearly stictionless"? Not sure about that one. I have the DVO coil which has a bladder as well, and the Fox DHX2 still kills it in the stiction department. Adding some air seals to the...

    Get some grip(s)

    I really like the ODI flow grips. I got those and the pro version that has more pad under the palm. I liked the flow much better, and this is coming from years of ODI/oury grips. You can really feel the thicker part of the grip and get it where you want it. No issues with the single clamp...

    RideMonkey How To Series: Throwing a Tantrum in Public

    Harsh crowd. Did you guys even look at what this dude has done, no matter how kooky or irritating he is? I had his floating caliper mount on a Bullit and the thing worked great. And that was like 15+ years ago. Check his website.... RM crowd, please raise your hand if you have actually designed...

    Cane Creek's tuning section goes from full open?

    Do it now before you really get pissed. One of my riding buddies had 2 CC's shocks he could rotate through because one was always back in NC getting repaired. The Inline that came on the bike, and a DB air. They would last anywhere from a ride to a few months before blowing again. They went...

    Cane Creek's tuning section goes from full open?

    CC should just base tuning on how much oil the shock is puking out. If only the shock is coated, turn compression 2 clicks out and rebound 2 clicks in. If your entire frame is greasy, turn compression 4 clicks out and rebound 4 clicks in. Starting from fully closed gives you the most...

    RideMonkey How To Series: Throwing a Tantrum in Public

    I am saying that full time, with a salary and full insurance, ID guys working for another company are often stoked on projects like this. No, the Demo graphics weren't designed for beer. More like the full salary guy that got paid to design the Demo graphics helped a small company out in his...

    RideMonkey How To Series: Throwing a Tantrum in Public

    You may be surprised, at least in the bike industry. There are quite a few ID guys I know who work full time for one of the top 5 bike companies. They are typically all about outside work/projects like this. Sometimes for a couple hundred bucks, sometimes for some beer, sometimes for some free...

    Anyone know why Ratty is wearing roost guard? Pretty sure he had one the last few rounds as well. Kinda odd....

    Any machinists want a project?

    Send more details of what you want if there are no takers yet. I can hack up your current link, or model and cut a new one, or cut one from a Solid Works model converted to IGES or STP format. Full shop in SC running ProE (Creo2). No 7071 though :crazy: 7075 for one piece or bolted, 6061...

    Yes, and yessssss! Bike is so much quieter with a coil and doesn't squat like a ride paddy harvester anymore.

    What trail bike tire casings don't suck?

    I ripped a knob off a Minion SS in the Santa Cruz super gnar (ie that one rock we have here). It was just one knob, and it looks like a mfg issue with the rubber. Just peeled half the knob off with cord showing underneath. Forced me to dive down the Maxxis warranty rabbit hole. Coming from a...

    New (to me) Shimano brake issue

    No fluid before ride. I last bled them about 3 months ago, and did lots of lever flicking to try and purge all zee air out. I also made sure to push the pads in before bleeding. Hmmmm.......

    New (to me) Shimano brake issue

    I have had some Zee death bakes for a few years now, so I know all about the crap-your-pants-lever-goes-to-bar-issue. I have had good luck with bleeding it out for the most part. But a few days ago got a new one that I have never experienced. I was riding Mt Ashland and it was cold, maybe at...
