    Options to slacken a Specialized Status?

    Recently picked up one of this years Status 1. I think I'd like to slacken it out just a bit, probably 1 degree. According to the cane creek site, it's a 42 top, 52 bottom. Thanks specialized for always having to do things different. It doesn't look like CC or Works makes anything for these...

    hans dampf vs maxxis minion

    Is that a black? My tires are holding me back from riding anything harder than blues. I don't know, that seems like a lot of money to get judged by you in person. I can get it for free on the internet. That'd be like paying for porn and no one does that these days. ;)

    hans dampf vs maxxis minion

    I'm not sure why (actually, I know exactly why and I doubt he's even ridden them) there's so much e-hate for the HD. I think it's a pretty damn good tire. Great grip, seems to wear well in my experience although I've mostly only ridden it in the front. I know quite a few people who ride...

    Downhillers trail bike, fork recommendations?

    or spend less money than either of those 2 options and have a fork that works really well. The X-Fusion stuff is really good and the price is certainly right. I have been beating on my slant pretty hard and it just keeps feeling better every ride. I don't find myself missing the compression...

    Chromag Samurai build for DH'er - help!

    IMO, that's where it should be. I'm super happy with mine. I haven't had it that long but probably have about 15 or 20 rides on it. So far really good. Lots of mid stroke support. I was coming off a '10 Revelation and the Slant feels so much better, noticeably stiffer too.

    I don't think it's CN. I heard that trail is uphill both ways. ;)

    Whistler this weekend

    lifts close at the first sign of thunder/lightning. that's pretty standard anywhere I think. It's not raining right now, almost seems like the sun is trying to poke out. The ground is a little wet but no real rain since last night.

    2010 Marzocchi 888 Evo tuning thread

    o-ring is shot. Anyone know where I might be able to track one of these down in Whistler? edit: called suspension werx who referred me to 'zoke canada who gave me all the info I need. apparently the o-ring doesn't need to be replaced, this is fairly normal and just means the fork needs to be...

    2010 Marzocchi 888 Evo tuning thread

    It's definitely a metal on metal bottom out. How do I check the o-ring on the volume adjuster? Thanks for sharing your settings, definitely helpful to compare to others. does the fox blue spring drop right in?

    2010 Marzocchi 888 Evo tuning thread

    I'm having a little trouble tuning my '12 evo ti and was wondering if I could get some suggestions. I had this fork feeling pretty good around Utah but I'm now up in Whistler for the remainder of the season and it needs a little work. I'm getting full bottom outs quite often, mostly on the...

    The Zerode thread

    Yup, got that. As I mentioned in that post that you quoted: "The green dots line up perfectly and as best as I can tell the Alfine is level in the frame. Anything else I should check?" It's definitely not that.

    The Zerode thread

    didn't quite got as smoothly as you guys said but I think it will be easier the next time around after having seen how it works now. It's all back together. It's not quite shifting as smoothly as it was previously though. Without any load, just pedaling around it shifts pretty well. If I try...

    The Zerode thread

    I've got my X9 shifter converted and ready to go on. Gonna go buy a new shift cable from the LBS after work. Just a standard shift cable right? Do I need to take the Alfine out of the frame to remove and replace the shift cable? I was just looking at it and it doesn't look like I'll be able...

    Costa Rica biking?

    That is plan B. Done that a few times and was looking for something a little different. Not at all a bad backup plan though.

    Costa Rica biking?

    Heading down wednesday morning for work but I have a long weekend to do whatever. Thinking about driving up and meeting some friends in Nicaragua but the border crossing sounds a bit sketchy so also looking for options in CR. I'll be outside of SJ but could travel if it's worth it. Anyone...
