So, I tried a couple different 2x guides on my nickel, and have gone back to a 34t non ramped raceface ring, bashguard, and a blackspire stinger.
Perfect shifting to granny with a slight pause before making the shift, and excellent retention in all conditions. Best out of every combo I've...
Hmmm. When she asked me if I would drive down with her,I looked at a map, saw state parks with big hills everywhere, and figured there had to be miles of bike trails through at least one of them.
Whadda ya mean there is no Santa Clause :(
is that an old person's golf course community where there is no booze?
Cause yeah. That sounds about right. Going so lady can take care of grandparent w/ a knee replacement. I'm the driver, then peacing out during the days to hopefully ride with some of yall.
Brett, where can a find a map of...
Yo,
So, I'm headed to TN for the first time in a couple weeks. I'll have my trail bike with a 2x ring and a fox 36 up front with me.
I really want to ride long fast downs. Not too into gaps and stunts, just haul-ass natural terrain. Enduro style riding, basically. putt up, rip down...
thanks man!
Great response.
The shock was losing air at a massive rate. A new valve core appears to have fixed the problem, but I'm going to do a leak down test on it this afternoon.
It looks like I'm going to have to open it up. As long as the piggyback endcap comes off without a fight, it...
Hey doods.
I'm in the process of re-doing my Sunday. It's fighting me literally every step of the way. I check the piggyback pressure 2-3x a season. I would do it more if it wasn't such a colossal pain (I have the old school setup with the threaded pin that goes thru the shock eyelet)...
oh. Since I pulled this from another thread, if you're looking to run an RC4 on your Sunday, per Steve M's instructions, this is a good place to start with base settings (thanks, Steve!). I added a bit of my own info too.
(all settings are clicks OUT from full IN)
Reb: 5 clicks out (range is...
Yo, OG Sunday gurus:
I have a 2005 Factory (USA frame). It's time to get er' spruced up with bearings. I've read the first page of the thread, but I wanted to double check if the commonly available (read, enduro) bearing kits, or lists of bearing sizes in this thread to make your own kits are...
did ya figure it out?
I assume you've tried to cycle the bike thru the travel with the longer stroke shock....many of these frames that run a 7.87x2 could run a 2.25 but don't. Case in point, my old heckler and my current Nickel come oem with a 2" shock (I assume because the bike needed to fit...

Be sure to give him props for figuring it out, saves us alot of hassle.
I'll be doing this in the near future.
Running my O.G. Sunday with an RC4, Funktion flat crowns and a 1.5 degree VP varialset.
So money. I'm sure there are better bikes out there, but the performance you get for the $$ is going to be really hard to beat.
Straight-up shred.
wider=better. 29mm inner rim width will square up the minion DHF nicely and increase your contact patch. You can also run a bit lower pressure without squirming.
I have a nice set of wheels that are 26mm inner width, and a much nicer set of wheels that are 21mm inner width. The nicer ones a...
if it is a 240s style hub (with the ratchet rings) they're pretty sensitive to the grease you use. Something like park assembly grease is no good. Pop it open (take no tools, pretty cool) clean everything out with isop alcohol. Use the dt swiss recommended grease, or you can try a very light...
I'm pretty sure that the 2011+ use the same 1/2" bushings as everyone else, so no problems there.
In other news, I just sprung for a radium pro to put on my nickel. A new shim based shock without SPV seemed like a really good deal, and since the swinger pro is such a kick ass shock, if this is...
yeah, they've been on my radar too. I'm going to call manitou with a couple questions (any special tools to service them? Does the IFP have a bleed port?) and go from there. shimmed manitou stuff is mad smooth, and now that they use the same size bushings as everyone else (as of 2011, so I...
Hey, Udi,
Thanks for kicking ass and taking the time to give good advice.
viva la ridemonkey, MOAR SHIMZ, and interested what others in the know have to say.
H.
Udi and JM,
Thanks for making valid points I had not considered. I don't know why I assumed the pistons would be the same between the shocks. Teh DHX AIR piston has noticeably more porting on it, so I assume higher flow. Since the change from the dhx air stack to the dhx coil stack isn't...
so,
now that I'm building a new frame and on a strict use parts I already have budget, I've been tinking with ways to un-suck the dhx air for my APP nickel.
From the same year, the DHX coil compression side is [piston] .700x.010, .700x.010, .700x.006, .600x.0045, .500x.0045, .400x.010...
