    2011 - 2014 Formula RO service / seal change

    Resurrecting this thread. Rebuilding master cylinder piston tomorrow on my R0s; the US distributor, BTI, was told by Formula Italy that the piston kit is the same as the R1 kit. Guess I’ll find out.

    Fox 38

    called Manitou about getting the new Mezzer lowers with the bleed ports but they’re furiously retrofitting them to current batch and won’t have extras until September. fork is still plush on initial stroke but as supportive in mid as you want. zero crown creak reputation maintained.

    Enduro forks - digging through fecal matter

    This is what's right with The Industry®

    This^^. Based on reviews I figured the midsole would be a bit stiffer than my 5.10s, with moar Cush, and they are in fact better for downcountry trailduro epics as a result. Not insanely sticky but allow for repositioning. Only negative is that my super high instep sorta crowds out the...

    Reign alloy 2015 actual frame weight and bb height

    nope. :D Thinking back, I first heard this from a Giant dealer. Then read it in a British mag review. I haven't ridden it and have no opinion either way.

    Got R0s for $120, free shipping, at Wiggle a few days ago to add to my collection. I have man hands though. Crazy how cheap formula stuff is from the euro retailers.
