Have a set of Shimano SLX M675 hydraulic brakes, where the left brake lever makes a single click sound (which can be felt through the lever also) when pulling the lever. Brake functions normally. Anyone here dealt with this before? Suspecting it's a return assist spring or something like that.

Tourque wrench suggestions? Mainly used for fork service and suspension pivots.

If you change the air shaft in a fork (eg in a Fox 34 from 120 to 100) does this affect the effective axle to crown measurement? assuming the same sag %

I usually find it to be a little bit dirt/dust/grit stuck in the ‘servowave’ mechanism. Sometimes just a few drops of triflow will move that stuff out, or a blast of air plus triflow

The chain slap when I go to the bike park is bugging me. Is it worth trying for something fancier like the STFU bike thing, or do I just put some form of padding on so I don't hear it? Bike currently has some sticker looking thing that's got a fair bit of wear.

wrapping an old inner tube around the chain stay is a quick n dirty method

3M mastic tape is great for silencing a noisy bike

I'm running a 170mm 36 with Push coil conversion and an old Grip 1 damper. The one that only has like 3 basic compression settings. I feel like the coil is great, but have lost quite a bit of low speed sensitivity. Big Sky is LOOOSE right now and I need to do anything I can to try to get more grip in the front. Would upgrading to a Grip 2 damper be worth it? If I am going to service the fork anyway I might as well do the damper while I am at it.

Grip 2 is substantially better than grip 1 in pretty much every regard.
But if you're gonna service the fork + buy a new damper, you're a healthy part of the way to buying a 38. And (especially at 170mm) the 38 is substantially better than any 36, regardless of damper. Just sayin.

You would also recoup some cost selling your 36 ( if you didn’t want it as a spare)

With the parts shortage and increase in riders I’m sure you could move it with no issue. Now the question is if you can find a 38?

Looks like these guys have a 38 in stock......I really shouldn't be buying a new fork right now though. Can get a Grip 2 for the 36 for $300.

Yup, definitely. The stiffer chassis makes the fork track a lot better in corners, but it also just means the fork is flexing less when you're hacking straight through brake bumps or whatever. Less flex = less binding in the bushings = smoother feeling pretty much everywhere.
It's not light though. But what's a few grams?

I'm looking at a 2017 giant glory that would need a shock replacement, does anyone know the shock size for this bike? I've searched but can't find the spacing. I'm guessing its 9.5x3.0 but I'm not sure.

Here's another random data point for you. The XT 12s chain on my be Ripley is now at like 2600mi and still hasn't hit .5% on the new style Park gauge.
No queso or other melt-on liquids have been employed--just the No Toil moto lube and fairly regular washings with dish soap.Last edited by climberevan; 06-20-2021 at 06:58 AM.
