UNLESS, there's some kind of upcharge for R3 in Europe?!
This is what the bottle of the stuff that goes into the Grip looks like. Find yourself one and you'll understand what I mean by a fishy smell :)
It almost makes R3 smell perfume-like hahaha
My suspicion of the reason for Fox using PTFE infused oil is that the Grip damper has an unanodized...
I also ran a set of e13 TRSr and TRS+ this season. Like stated above, traction and wear are very good. I think that they roll pretty slowly as well. Not a big issue as I take it as a reason to ride or pedal faster lol.
Here's the funny thing, the rear tire (TRS+) had a hop in the casing since...
OGC's service is pretty good, never had an issue with them. They also deal with customers directly so you don't have to necessarily go through your shop.
Thanks for your input Udi!
I knew that the Fit4 was a compromise over the RC2 but wasn't sure to what extent. It kind of makes sense on the 32 and 34 but I figured that it may possibly work well with the 36 also.
So good news. I ordered the Fit4 version. Why? Because I got hooked up with a...

I'm on the verge of ordering a 2018 36 to go on my 2017 Trance Advanced 1 (haven't ridden it yet). Coming from a DH background and wanting the bike to ride more aggressively, I figured it would be a good idea to swap out the...
Brand new, never ridden! Selling only because I want to swap it for a 36.
Comes off a 2017 Giant Trance Advanced 1.
This is the highest end 34 you can get, here are the specs:
-150 mm of travel
- 27.5 wheels
- Kashima
- Factory series: rebound damping adjustment, open/medium/firm compression...
I've been riding at Bromont for quite some time now and I'm looking to explore the other spots around here. Unfortunately a DH bike isn't the right tool for that.
Technically still on the same bike for this year. It's up for sale, so I've been hesitant to ride it this season
Check it out in the classifieds section :brows:

There are a few small scratches here and there, but everything is purely...
