    WP and DVO with cone valve

    I saw in the release note from GasGas that WP has put some of their cone valve technology in some DVO products. Some of you guys have experience from the moto world, is this cone valve tech any good? And how do you think it would fit into mtb applications? From what I understand it is some...

    Stuck Boxxer stealth maxle

    I have seen plenty of threads about stuck maxles but way less lately. I have probably been hamfisted? My locking nut is stucked. It doesn't move at all, even when I increase the lever to 60cm (about 25"). I bent my allen key trying to undo the locking nut... The fork is pretty new, 2020...

    20x110 boost front hub

    Apparently boost has found its way to the front of the DH world since a little while... It looks like that: The position of the rotor is moved 5mm out which allows wider spacing between the flanges. Supposedly bigger wheels made this a necessity...? A simple solution is to just shims your good...

    Downhill-enduro hybrid-ish

    Taking a sip on a G&T while waiting for the GF to come back home after a long ride, I day-dream about what bike would be nice to take with me on holidays. Where I live is not so mountainous but I usually spend my holidays in the mountains mostly in Sweden but hopefully also in France /...

    Old vs new downhill bikes

    After renting a DH bike this summer, riding proper tracks and enjoying myself, I feel like it's time for downhill bikes to make a comeback in the front of the mtb scene, at least my mtb scene :D I have been eyeballing the new Gambler. It's nice, modern, adjustable. It has potential! Then I...

    Help with RS Deluxe shock

    I promised to help a friend with servicing his RS Deluxe shock and I have some difficulty removing the white nylon compression ball from the bleed port. RS recommend pushing from the oil side with a 1,5mm Allen key which didn't worked at all... It's the first time the shock is open and the...

    Shaft clamps

    I am looking for shaft clamps to be able to service my shocks and forks at home. Buying the clamps from Fox and RS would be quite expensive and I hope that there is the possibility to buy some cleverly done clamps that would fit most of Fox and RS shocks. The BBI clamps are out of stock and...

    Flat vs progressive leverage ratio

    It's monday and I have this question in my mind: why is progressive LR better than flat? You can read on many places that LR should be progressive, at least for longer travelled bikes, and I have accepted it but never really understood why. If we consider 2 hypothetical bikes with the same rear...

    Is that all there is? Yeti vs Orange

    I was looking at the analyse of the Yeti SB6C on Linkage and was puzzled by how similar it behaves compare to the Orange Alpine. http://linkagedesign.blogspot.se/2014/10/yeti-sb6c-275-2015.html Antisquat are similar in the pedalling zone. Antirise is marginally better for the Orange, but very...
