Is that tape something you had laying around or did you use it for a specific reason? I’d never heard of it before.

Not sure which one you have but I have the Chase 8 with the 2L bladder and it works really well for me. I find it much more comfortable and stable than a traditional camelback with the waist strap.

Thread drift: where did you ride in Portugal?

I wanted to know what the season finale was!

A friend of mine had a new 36 and was complaining about harshness, small bump sensitivity. I took one push on that thing and guessed it was tight bushings. He sent it in to Fox warranty… and they...

What was wrong with your old fork?

Gunder does the ultrasonic cleaner not strip out lubricant from bearings in the derailleur? I would have guessed that would actually wear it out faster. I’m curious on the technique because I find...

I sent my Fox fork direct to Fox warranty and got it back it two weeks. You seem to really want to buy a new fork, but I'd stop wasting your time and just contact warranty and send the thing in as...

Is the fork within warranty? What model is it?

After I had this bushing problem I told my local suspension tech about it, and he says he has been seeing it more frequently from all the big...

Just take the shock off and cycle the linkage to see if the bearings are smooth, quiet and without play. If so, you are good to go. Bearing life has a lot to do with conditions, but also the...

175 is pretty average, so with no tokens, no compression and low pressure you should absolutely be able to bottom it on a very hard hit. If not, something is messed up. Go back a page to post #10381...

If you still can’t bottom with no tokens and low pressure, check for tight bushings and make sure you have zero compression damping set. If bushings aren’t tight, then the fork is too progressive at...

You need to test for undersized bushings! I had symptoms like this on a brand new Fox 36 2 years ago. It was a grip 2 but the problem was irrelevant to the damper. I tried every combination of...

Pro tip from an acquaintance of mine in SLC: have a summer escape plan to get out of the heat. He loves it in winter but ultimately wants to spend summers in VT where he is from.

After spending some time riding here in the Seattle area with someone from the south bay, my take was that for every day mountain biking it sounded like a huge downgrade. Not that there is no good...

Not to harsh your Gear Acquisition Syndrome but if you think the bushings are tight, it’s absolutely worth trying to get them fixed before buying a new fork. Tight bushings will make the best fork in...

I don’t think anyone should assume they need heavy tires just because some others do. I know a lot of people running EXO I’m the PNW with success - plenty of experienced riders on long travel bikes....

Does anyone know if the bolt is actually what loosens and causes the problem? I guess you could mark/record the bolt position on install to confirm.

Has anyone tried the “Hall lock” mod to prevent their derailleur from rotating and making noise? Even running Shimano XT I do have a noise on bigger hits that is probably the B tension screw…

What’s your best source for mold builder? How do you explain why you are covered in glitter?

Is the gauge accurate?

I though about putting a co2 cartridge in my 100cc One Up pump and then realized that I have no desire to carry more stuff to save like 1 minute of pumping every 1-3 years when I get a flat. I’ve...

I just switched from a 140/160 27.5 bike to a 135/150 29er with longe/slacker geo and the 29er does feel more capable. I’m figuring out how to push it harder and stay more centered on the bike in...
