I got a new 2014 Boxxer RC and having some troubles with it. I'm 165 lbs with riding gear and running a medium spring. I have another older Boxxer R2C2 on my other bike and also have a medium spring on that one and it feels good.
Well first it feels quite bad out of the box in the initial part...
I didn't say that it was meant to couple the transverse bending, I was talking about torsional stiffness. Could you please a bit more specific how it would affect the torsional stiffness, I don't agree that it would make any significant difference in terms of torsional stiffness. Or just send it...
It won't work. Why? It's pretty simple. The attachment points are pretty much where the axle is. The axle is reasonably stiff, just as in any downhill fork. The next thing that gives torsional stiffness in a regular fork is the arch, and then the crowns. How much torsional displacement you have...
I'm only 160 lbs so I'm not so heavy. However what annoys me is the after-sales service, it's not they delaminated and started to crack after 2,5 days. You can always have an error in the process or bad quality, but if you won't deal with it in a good way you won't get satisfied or returning...
I bought the dh-version (420-430 g each), mine had similar problems, delamination and "cracking" after 2,5 days of riding. No crashes, no flats, no heavy landings etc. Built by a good bike shop that I've had built another wheel before without any problem.
Tried to have it warrantied, but they...
If your hoping that the Carbon torsion arch (as DVO calls it) will help out I'm pretty sure it won't at all. The attachment points of the arch will make it pretty much useless, it would be very interesting to see any measurement or calculation to support their 50% increase in torsional...
I just want to make an informed decision :) It´s quite a lot of money so don´t want to buy something that I will regret. Also if possible I want to avoid spending more than I have to (like buying a carbon demo 8/v10 since they are so much more expensive here than the alu demo for example).
The...
Need some advice, I'm currently on a Kona Stab Supreme 2010, and want to upgrade the frame. My main problems with the Kona is I don't find particularly playful or plush, it's also quite heavy.
I've googled around a bit, and narrowed my choices down a bit, to Demo 8 aluminum frame or the Devinci...
I've got some problems with my Boxxers. I bought it new for less than 2 months ago and it got some 20 hours of riding on it. After 2 hours the lower legs snapped, I had to replace them, I got some Boxxer Race lowers and removed the insert also I had to change the crown with the steerer...
Are you sure I can't use very fine wet sandpaper? I was thinking of using something like this http://3mcollision.com/products/abrasives/wet-sanding/3m-imperial-wetordry-sheet-02032-1500a-grade.html
it wont damage a pantyhose so should i just let it be? :s
I've only ridden it around 5 times which makes me extra sensitive to scratches ;) just don't want to ruin the seals or bushings I know it's small, just wanted to be sure, gonna try with a wet sand paper with grit size around P1500 tomorrow.
I managed to get a scratch on my fork, how bad is it, it can be felt but not much. It is very small, should I try and fix it or just wait and see?

Well to start off just wanted to say how extremely unsatisfied I am with my Saint Hubs, after 10 minutes of downhill there is a significant amount of play. Now that wouldn't be so bad if it was possibly to fix it with normal tools, unfortunately it can't be done, you need special cone spanners...
Heres my bike for 2011:
Stab Supreme 2010 (brand new (first new bike since 2003! :weee: )) Have only ridden it once.
It's all stock:
Fox DHX RC4 (with a spring way too hard, just ordered new one)
RockShox Boxxer World Cup 200mm
Headset FSA Gravity DX
Cranks Shimano Saint (170mm)...
Thinking of buying a Kona Stab Supreme 2010, has anyone ever tried a Stab Supreme 2010 or any other similar Stab? Are they any good? I can get it pretty cheap since it's last years model, other bikes I've looked at is the Demo 8 One 2011 but that is about 1100 USD more or the Giant Glory 01 for...
For some reason I can't watch any of the streams or videos on Freecaster, does anyone have the same problem? The circle in the middle just keeps spinning, but it never loads. Wanna watch the race :(
So motocross magazines has done scientific research on braces? Also, from what I've read at Leatts website, it's intented to break too under a tough crash.
You seem to switch alot between demanding scientific independant research and using anecdotes as proof for your own theories. There is...
