I hear Airbomb and Beyond Bikes are the same and then I hear they are not. All I really know is I ordered a Mavic 823EX rim that I was having trouble finding in stock and with a decent price. Airbomb had the best price online, I called for availability, the guy put me on hold for 30 seconds...
From the South Bay I would definitely consider Soquel Demo Forest. Henry Coe is supposed to be great too but I have not been there yet. There has to be some good stuff around Morgan Hill. Specialized Bikes HQ is there. The develop and test a lot of bikes in the area from what I've read. You...
Your suggestions are great but I've never seen an online merchant that so consistantly fails to deliver products and customer service.The results of providing products people want at reasonable prices coupled with good customer service are, repeat customers, referrals for new customers and...
On that Norco I would consider different wheels if you want to drop some serious weight. I used to have similar wheels as you but switched to Mavic DeeMax wheels and tubeless tires and that easily accounted for 2 to 3 lbs weight loss. The wheels are pretty much bombproof too! I'm a 240lbs rider...
I bought a pair of those same UST Highroller 2.35's and the weight was similar to yours but those size of the tires is closer to 2.1's than 2.35's. In fact, I have 2.1's that are wider. I was not very pleased. I guess that is why you can get such a good deal on Ebay on these. They are only half...
I went through this too with my Pike 454 Air U-Turn. The difficulty in setting up this forks air pressure is that Rockshoxs' suggested air pressure is way too high. I'm a clydesdale at 240lbs and Rockshox said it should be 170lbs for both pos. and neg. air pressure. This is way higher than what...
I used to have a Z1FR1 and it was a nice fork. It had the typical Marzocchi coil plush ride. The ETA works to reduce the travel for climbing and works well. I sold it to get a lighter fork and went with a Pike 454 Air U-Turn. It is nothing short of amazing. It is about 1 lbs lighter than the Z1...
What's the trick to getting large pictures uploaded on Ridemonkey? I always have to reduce them to not much larger than a thumbnail to get them to accept the upload. :huh:
Those are some awesome downhill bikes you guys/gals have. I'm not much of a racer but like having a burly fun bike. Here's mine in its' latest form.
39.25 lbs
Hey Secret Squirel!
Thanks for checking your adjustments. 17 clicks of rebound is a surprise as well as only 5 clicks of rebound. I'll give it a try with 15psi and your adjustments and see what happens. Have you looked at Mazocchi's manual? It says for riders over 220lbs that the positive air...
Thanks Secret Squirel! I figure when geared up I'm probably about 250lbs so we are pretty close. I'm really liking the fork so far and when finally dialed in I'm going to love it. I'm coming from a 2005 888RC 170mm. The 888 is awesome too! I have it set up with the low speed compression sleeve...
We have the exact same fork. Yours matches that red Turner perfectly? Is that a RFX/Six Pack?
How much compression and rebound are you running? I had mine set to about 5 clicks compression, 12 clicks rebound and about 25psi yesterday and the fork felt great till I was going downhill and this...
