My son's 6th birthday is coming up and he's asking for a new bike which I'm stoked about. He likes riding his bike and we've been going on the cart roads in the town forest some for little 15-20 minute rides with some breaks and exploring burned in so fingers crossed I may have a new mountain...
I've destroyed my 3rd freehub in as many years, this time ovalizing the hub shell itself. I weigh only 185lbs and frankly don't put nearly the mileage on my wheels a fair amount of you do.
I'm putting in my 3rd warranty claim and we'll see where that leads, but I'm getting sick and tired of...
Busted my shifter mount. Normally my Google skills are sufficient with finding replacement parts, but I'm concerned/afraid that this may not exist.
Anyone know if these are source-able? It's the yellow part?
So I ended up picking up a pair of these things. There's not much out there aside from the initial marketing push and some initial impressions from NSMB so I thought this could be of help.
I decided to give these a try because I can't keep a wheel together when riding downhill. I'm currently...
Pretty simple really. Anyone have any good methods to deglaze a brake? Pretty frustrating when a pad and rotor have 95% life but take 20 ft to stop you when just rolling along on flat pavement.
So for 17-19 Yari/Lyrik chassis's, does anyone know if there is any compatibility between them and the spring shafts for either Boxxer's, Domains, or older MY 170mm Coil Lyriks?
I came across some German posts that were suggestive of this, but don't want to begin purchasing anything on a whim...
Seems like a low risk shock to try if the seals were designed well. Does anyone have any real world experience with it or feedback?
It seems to tick alot of the boxes that are important to me
Coil
No hydraulic topout so it can be shortened internally
Fluouroelastomer seals
Not an overly large...
So it seems that the Super Deluxe was built as a fairly modular platform. Is the only difference between the versions the bolt on IFP/compression reservoir? If so is anyone aware of anyone making or developing aftermarket subassemblies?
New bike has a Yari and apparently the ends of both stanchions are sealed off. This effectively results in a fork that does fork things through maybe 60% of it's travel before it transitions to butt mode. For those unaware, butt mode is a sudden transition where the damper feels like a cement...
So whose doing this or attempted to with their non metric shock? It seems that this should be a doable thing via some spacers. I suppose if there is a pressurized IFP the depth with need to be adjusted to compensate for the shorten stroke.
Anyone do this and have tips/tricks?
The new...
So I'm going to be lacing some EX823's up to some DT Swiss OEM downhill hubs (the ones that come stock on Specialized Demos). I'm fairly certain that I can spec out the appropriate spoke length using the DT Swiss calculator. Is there a specific nipple length that needs to be used with these...
Anyone else experience or notice this issue, specifically with wearing out front wheel bearings? It seems that the combination of wheels having radial bearings and then a rack holding onto the wheel and having an oscillating moment applied to the bearings in a static position while I drive is...
Has anyone experienced hand pain with these grips on their downhill bike? How do you set up the flange orientation in terms of roll? They seem to get good reviews from the magazines, but this is the first grip I've ever purchased that does not play nice and causes some pretty serious cramping...
So I'm stoked to find out that I can get my hand on Silkolene oils at a nearby motorsports shop. I'm in the process of rebuilding my Boxxer and installing an Avalanche cartridge and based on the installation literature, it appears that the valving is optimized for oils with a viscosity grade of...
So I'm doing a complete tear down of my Demo for the start of this season. All the pivots are in good enough shape and smooth enough for one more season of use (may pick the seals and add some grease to them). However the sets of bearings located at the seatstay/chainstay junction are smoked...
It's that time of year again! Wooooooooooooooooo.
Can the Bruins repeat? Will Timmy The Tank put together another historical season in net? Will Avery ever play in the NHL again? Who's this Crosby guy?
What's everyone's expectations/hopes for this year?
I've been thinking lately, with the US's spiral towards the United States of Amerika brought to you by Carl's Jr., does the fact that the US has the highest lawyers per capita of any nation in the world have anything to do with this? (I will note that I've recently come across an article...
