I don't know if he's on here anymore, but I'm willing to bet Acadian's tool kit and shop setup are as organized and utilitarian as they are awesome and amazing...
It is indeed archived somewhere... and that somewhere is on one of my hard-drives. -hehe-
To be honest, I have random pics of things from there - I just happened to think of that one and actually found it.
Rumor was, Gee and Zee Fraunch were experimenting with custom fork offsets during the 2019 WC season, mainly with this:

Back in the day when we needed hardware spares we would actually order parts from McMaster-Carr:

Try looking around here - you should be able to find what you need. May I suggest looking for "Shoulder Bolts" as a starting point.
"Is this still the Downhill forum...?"

YES - this is still the DH Forum.
NO - Hardtails, Dropper Posts, Enduro, Clownbikes, E-Bikes, Category 4 Down-Country, Juggalos.
Aw hell... dammit Vee... STOP looking over Schwalbe's shoulder and EYES on your OWN paper...
Side knobs angled the wrong fu@king way to facilitate "Front End Tuck" and washing out at the limit whilst cornering:
Indeed - the RC4 and the DHX5 are fairly reliable and robust designs given stock configuration. I've ridden FOX running gear exclusively for rear suspension and have owned both shocks stock and tuned (by PUSH) in various platforms (including a PUSH'ed RC4 on a Gen. 4 Demo 8, which is a leverage...
Wow...
11 years later and people are not only still talking about this frame, but riding it as well. I still have my 06' Factory and Elite frames in storage along with all of the mods I've made over the years. The geo and frame specs were definitely ahead of the times when it first debuted...
Fro - as an alternative to buying Stan's rim strips for your Rhyno Lites (I used Rhyno Lite XL's on my first DH rig) try experimenting with Gorilla tape. The characteristics I didn't like about the Rhyno XL's were that they dented/flat-spotted easily AND it was a bitch to mount tires due to the...

OK... let's see what we've got here:
- Nude pic of Gee? Check. (This is the most terrifyingly unnatural picture I've ever seen. Thanks for the nightmare fuel)
- Existential ponderings from Riffle? Check. (Man is a thing stretched across some stuff)...
See, this is the thing: Function before Fashion I always say, but Orange with a capital "OH" isn't exactly a neutral color that will look good with most paint schemes...
I understand the reasons behind using Orange, but if FOX offered them in, say, white; THAT would be a better choice...
To expand upon what bholwell was stating above, here is some interesting info regarding rim-tire compatibility posted by Schwalbe on another website:
"We (Schwalbe) stick to the ETRTO sizes, the European Tire and Rims Technical Organisation. There are no exact rules how big a tire or a rim...
Eibach was in fact the manufacturer of the K9 "Race Springs" as they were stamped with Eibach's name/logo but are no longer in production. Currently, I'm particularly interested in similar offerings by Stendecworks/SA Springs:
