    Time pedals: Bearings vs Bushings

    Hey, I've noticed that my 2003 Time ATAC Alium pedals do not very well when I'm off the bike and I just spin 'em. Ive heard they have bushings inside instead of bearings. How much extra friction do the bushings add? It seems like I'm actually slower on clips than flats with bearings, but then...

    12" single crown?

    You can even see the original top crown marks. Cam thought of better ones the 2 years before, but he still got you guys.

    Reducing 2002 Boxxer

    I'd like to put a 02 Boxxer on my hardtail (2003 Banshee Scirocco) but I think 178mils of travel is too much for me and the bike (but it is still warrantied with a 7 inch fork) so can I reduce the Boxxer to 6 inches somehow? If it's not possibe or requires half a new fork in parts then I'll have...

    Psylo XC Tuning Parameters

    I am going to be putting 10wt oil in there during the rebuild... hopefully that does something. I don't want to mess with my shim stack at this time.

    Psylo XC Tuning Parameters

    I just blew out an entire Marzocchi cartidge because the bolts they inluded with the brake mount (year 2000) fork are a millimeter or two too long... I wasnt even riding with the new adaptor. I put it on, knew that something was fishy, took it off, and put the old one on. The shaft bolt was...

    Scandium Fatigue Life (RM Vertex Team SC 2000)

    If this was a 2002 frame I'd be on it like Richard Simmons on gay porn... How much did that one run you Babar?

    Scandium Fatigue Life (RM Vertex Team SC 2000)

    Thing is it is under a grand CAD for the complete bike with full 9.0 SL, z2 flylight's, RF cranks (next lp's I think), mavic 517's (i think again), and RaceFace's lightest bars, stem, and a carbon seatpost. V brakes unfortunately, but that's part of the "pick 2". It was someone's race bike...

    Scandium Fatigue Life (RM Vertex Team SC 2000)

    Up here on the shore aluminum frames break from so much you don't even take the time to figure out what broke it! :p I am wary of a 3 year old aluminum hardtail... I wanted to know if scandium, being lighter, would cause me problems down the trail. I know it makes a light frame (2.9 lbs, and...

    Scandium Fatigue Life (RM Vertex Team SC 2000)

    I am looking at a RM Vertex Team Scandium from 2000. How does Scandium compare to Aluminum as to fatigue life? Also, if you own thie frame, do you find that the tubes are butted/drawn too thin, or does it feel solid?

    should i get an upright or a fork mount rack?

    I stand corrected. Road bikes will do better in cheaper racks.

    what is meant by "thru axle"?

    I stand by my Tullio. The wheel is out in 30 seconds... no tools. No other company did that in 2001 without sacrificing secondary wheel retention.

    fork oil

    I will have to search around for a motocross store then... would an autoparts store carry them? Keep in mind the amount of bike stores around here... MX isn't as big.

    Flex question on my Marzocchi MXC.....

    For a marzocchi EXR that sounds normal. Check the security of the stanchions into the crown though, that is where most 2002 Zokes go.

    fork oil

    I will be using Finish Line Synthetic to rebuild my Judy's. I haven't used it before (or taken any other forks apart) but one of the local guys uses it no problems, even when he's a hack. Biggest thing is the price: $17 CAD for 8oz.

    100MM Judy TT's

    my bad, there is only one spacer in the 02s, for between 80 and 100.

    what is meant by "thru axle"?

    For competitive XC, it's a no-no. I however, am I one bike guy living near the shore, riding shore style trails (not hucking tho) and having that strength is good for me. I get my XC traits from riding up the mountain.
