    2011 Fox 40 FIT Issue

    Udi, Thanks for all that great information!!! I can clearly see whats going on now, its good to know that nothing is actually broken or needs replacement. In your opinion, if I'm not a jumper or don't do any big drops, do you suggest I just cut out that small piston at the very top of the...

    2011 Fox 40 FIT Issue

    Thanks for the reply Bengxe! That's what I thought, but it feels more like it catches on something inside... I've taken the oil out of the cartridge, and it has a catch 1-1.5inch before bottom out. Im wondering if something has worked itself loose on the inside... Cheers LR

    2011 Fox 40 FIT Issue

    Happy Holidays Everyone! I just inherited a friends' Fox 40 that he had sitting on a shelf for the past few months... I've taken the fork apart to regrease the seals and all. During the inspection of the damper, I've noticed that it hits kind of a wall at the last inch of travel, the HSC...

    You Go Girl!

    You'd think if Giant was smart about it all, they would've just paid him the $$$ for the new G+ system, then everyone would've left happy.

    2013 Norco Sight 650B Killer B Build and review

    Same here, we have a couple Sight 650b and the buzz surrounding them this year is crazy. Personally, im on a Sight 26" that I'll be rocking this year, but once the "lighter" Range comes out, I'll be selling my Sight and Aurum, and use the Range for Everything. IMO the Range 650b could easily...

    Why should you go to a bike shop?

    Right. I love the misconception that most bike shops are fvcking people out of $$$. Alot of shops don't want to make themselves look like they're marking everything up 20-30% over internet prices, in 99% of cases it has to do with the distributor. Shimano is a prime example, Prices on CRC are...

    Elka stage 5 issue

    Wow. Your experience with the shock was so bad, you then have to retort to belittling people that are not from France?? Also, what the hell does a language have to do with issues that the OP is experiencing with his rear shock??

    Top Gear

    Hells yesh. Such a good episode!! The smallest car bit had me rolling on the floor. Almost as funny as the Reliant Robin piece he did!

    Building EX823's

    First things first, definitely use 16mm nips(preferably brass). Install the nipples with the thread inserts into the rim and if you want to use loctite and grease go right ahead, torque them down nice and tight. Proceed to then lace up to wheel, I like to use abit of oil on the spoke threads...

    2010 Marzocchi 888 Evo tuning thread

    Really?.. I remember quite well that when I bought my 2012 888 that it didn't come with anything apart from some stickers and a owners manual, the fork was bought off the Canadian distributor too... weird.

    Want to build some new wheels, looking for rim suggestions.

    The new WTB Frequency i23s are a decent rim. I built up a set for a friend and they're still straight as an arrow, he isn't the smoothest rider around either....

    new laptop under....

    I don't if you guys can get the brand "acer" down in the states, but it's worth taking a look at if your looking for a good value laptop. My current laptop was bought this time last year and features a 15.6" screen, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD, HDMI out, Intel HD3000 Graphics, a nice keyboard and...

    New V10c XL Frames at Huge Discount

    Nope, Canada. As far as Amazon in Canada goes, there's a limited choice on bike related things.

    New V10c XL Frames at Huge Discount

    You make some good points, however some shops are very different from most, like ours for example. First, if we don't have it, we can get it in within 5 days of the customer coming to the shop and putting an order through. That is proven to be quicker than any online "shop". Second, our...

    New V10c XL Frames at Huge Discount

    I don't think you understand his point. Take the Heckler frameset on the website, Regular "retail" is suggesting $1080, Santa Cruz is selling that right now at $550. At $550, it is cheaper than what I can get it through the shop I work at up here in Canada... Bottom line is, Santa Cruz is...
