The price ($80) is under the pic in the review ;)
You can get Spanks for 10% off at Ubikes with a discount code, Wah Wahs are hard to find outside of dealers and are price controlled. If you can get oem takeoffs that's cool but not a regular deal.
I managed to plow my Wah Wahs into rocks a few times in the 3 seasons or so I ran them ( I had 2 pairs, one for each bike), not their fault at all, but now 3 out of 4 pedals have bent spindles... and having the bike come to a complete stop in just a few inches isn't fun. The Spank Spikes are...
I totally agree. I have a Session 88 and just rode a friend's v10c... both with fox 40s. They feel different but the bike really has nothing to do with who gets down the mountain faster assuming both are in good working order.
lol, leave it to a LBS. Not enough spacers between ISCG tabs and guide... they obviously didn't even look at the instructions. This is on a friend's bike BTW.
On my bike, I wish I knew how my chain dropped. I had to remove the lower guide to get the chain back, it seemed like there wasn't...
I wouldn't use the SX casing, it's 50 duro all the way through while the DH casing has a 70a baselayer that supports the knobs a lot better. It rolls faster, lasts longer and grips better because the knobs don't deform as easily.
The DH casing Butcher is one of the best tires I've ever used...
The larger slider bolts are a standard size, I just got replacements at a local hardware store. They are steel instead of aluminum though, an extra 10 grams, lol. My replacement sliders came with the small bolts.
I need to email straitline and see if this thing works with a 10 spd chain, I've...
My R2C has been great on my 6" bike, but a friend got one and it blew a seal on the 1st ride.
I like the shock and the price is reasonable... might get one for the DH bike too.
There's prior art, I think it's f'in ridiculous on dw's part to "claim" an existing design as his own and invent reasons why it should be patented.
IMO, neither Trek nor DW should have been awarded a patent in the first place.
I do think Trek's implementation of a single pivot is the best.
I'm not assuming it's the guide... while i have heard of this happening to a couple other people from searching the net for reviews, it's not normal and could be related to an error in setup or other factors I haven't thought of. It could be the 10 speed chain is narrower than the 9 speed that I...
Yeah... there aren't any setup options beyond ft-back spacing. Chain is good... this only happens about twice a year, so it is rare, but the times it happens, it really, really sucks.
I doubt it... it's a 32t guide, there are no adjustments and the front-back spacing is good. It might be the 10 speed chain, IDK. And I'm not the only one with this issue on silent guides.
Doubles and triples with fd don't even come close to retaining the chain properly and all single chainguides seem to pretty much suck for one reason or another. They work to keep the chain in place (most of the time), but have other problems like durability.
I'm seeing a lot of comments about dh bikes, I don't think that's what XX1 is intended for... it's for xc/am bikes. I wouldn't consider putting it on a dh bike, I run road gears on the dh bike...
edit: not to mention the crankset probably won't come in 83mm...
