    Fox 36 Talas to Van?

    first why do you want to go to coil? For a bit more you can go float. Lighter, more adjustability, similar feel to a coil, theres no reason to go to a van. I have talked many out of doing this and have had a few do it anyways, they end up regretting and then its too late to change it back to...

    New Saint Brake Problems

    Have you tried a pressure test? As air is gettig in, under pressure, there sould be oil coming out somewhere. Zip tie your lever to the bar, nice and tight, then look for leaks. Always worth a try. also, you can try leveling out your levers, doing that to both brakes and leaving it...

    new fox 40 ???

    The main probems associated with the 40's are easily fixed with plain maintenance. The seals pop due to lack of maintenance and air pressure being released pror to riding. (Tell tale psss if you open up the topcap anywhere with elevation.) As the fork compresses, a small amount of oil is...

    2007 Heckler swing arm pivot

    I hate to say, but under some instances, torque specs are retarded. I have had a few issues with the main pivots coming loose on hecklers, Blue loctite, and more Torque on the main pivot always works. Torque specs are to keep moose knockle wrenches from destroying parts and blaming the...

    will dh stay around this time?

    look at it this way. In 50 years when winter is just a fond memory, how will resorts keep money coming in? Exactly, so when were all old farts crapping out pants, most people will have a rig in their garage. And racing isnt back to pre 2000's it was massive in the early 90's, and tapered off...

    Identify these forks

    the casting should be lacated on the inside of the fork leg by the dropout of the year it was manufactured. i.e. if it was manufactured in 02 its an 03. id throw a bet in being a 2001 z3.

    suspension guru's: need help with final year project!

    Yeah Noleen actually started with this technology. The problem, was, it was expensive, and batteries died quickly leaving a dead set up. Cannondale actually did a similar set up with an electronic lock out. Heres some info...

    Fabien Barel Maribor crash

    Heres my question. At what point do you want safety, but are willing to risk it for cool factor and weight. Many people are interested in the leatt brace, however, people are running D2's out there. I cannot understand this. In a crash like that, his savior was his moto lid, no ifs ands or...

    Calling fox 40 owners, some tech help please!!!

    what it seems like is your spring is rubbing. take your top cap off, and flip the spring. Try that out. Sometimes, the shrink wrap slips down the spring, and since its not where it should be, the spring rubs away. First flip the spring, and try it out, if it still rubs, youll have to...

    2007 Heckler swing arm pivot

    happened to me as well. Definately, a part that you loctite while building. Makes life easier on the trail not having to look for the bolt to get home.

    I found a UK oil for Avalanche owners

    I have also found that motorex 5 wt works great. Not to mention, medium ohlins and Race Tech. Im running the motorex currently in my dhf 8.0 and i find it to be a little linear, but finding Race Tech is difficult, which I find to be the best.

    Ahh crap, snapped 888 compression rod

    Not that expensive here. I had the same thing happen to me, picked a comp cartridge for 80 bucks new Canadian! The 888 cartridges are super sheap unless you upgrade to a newer comp cartridge. A little fix next time guys, heat the sucker up before you try to un-do it.

    How much Power is Too much Power?

    The one thing about powerful brakes is that you neverknow when its going to hit in completely, they could all of a sudden just grab and throw you off. As Tranny, said, modulation is much better for DH, a controlled amount of power is much more useful than a massive braking system, all it takes...

    Soft or Medium compound for the Northeast?

    Intense Intruders. Best allaround tires ive run, they work from the sligtly dry to muddy conditions fairly well and even into the super dusty dry stuff. As it comes to the northeast, that is what I have been running Not the best over flat rocks, however, they are durable, puncture resistant...

    Cold weather and suspension...?

    Change out your oil in your fork this will help. As oil cools especially in cold weather, it thickens, kinda like molasses. Also, Mineral oil does the same thing. if yore brakes feel like crap, change out to a 2.5 weight oil. Dont forget, the colder the weather, the more brittle metal...
