Sensus Disisdaboss, but I split my time between XC and trials so maybe don't listen to me. Also it doesn't really rain in CO. When it does- these grips keep on working.

^^pretty sure this is what you need. I was going to do the same thing on my MKIII- put a 1.5 fork in my 44 headtube. I guess you just need the bottom half?
Take a look at http://www.trestlebikepark.com/. They are always selling ex-rentals at decent prices. Most of them are in pretty good condition, and they are close enough to check out before you commit to buy.
I weigh 155 with gear, and I usually run the float in my MKIII at 145lbs. It's more important on a DW-link bike to get the correct sag then to hit a specific psi- try starting at your body weight and let air out until you get 30% sag.
I like DIY as much as the next guy, but just buy the freakin tool! Compared to the cost of your FS bike, the tool is nothing. Sockets are a pain in the neck even if you have a vise.
as long as the linkage is in good shape and the price is right I'd say go for it. I bought my 06 new right when it came out and still beat on it, the frame is indestructible and rides great. The only downside is the shock linkage, reducers etc- it's easy to wear it out and good luck getting...
I came close to buying one but didn't, for only one reason- from pictures it shows the swingarm/chainstay is two seperate pieces bolted together instead of one welded piece, like on every other bike out there. Just one more thing to worry about- after riding it hard for a year what if those bolt...
FYI- I bought two of those from Jenson. Both are on the way back to SRAM, unridden, to be fixed- leaking oil from compression and rebound adjusters. $270 is only a good deal if the fork actually works :mad:
I'm not some suspension pro, but I had the same exact problems on my Marz forks- mine are all from 2004, so they should be pretty similar to yours.
To get the footnut to stop spinning the damper, I just stuck a tool with a big flat edge into the leg, and fit it into the groove on top of the...
that's too bad, the V used to be loads of fun. I rode it tons in 2002-4, the right side was MTB and left was BMX, everybody dug and everything was cool. The BMX kids looked sketch but they were all easy enough to get along with.
jonny dh- You have a 2006 7.3, (same as mine) and the red lower link means you already have the upgraded hardware. If it was in upside down, you'd know for sure pretty quick- the nasty metal on metal clunk would be your clue. Ride on!
wow, that's right near my house! It's seriously dark under that bridge, there's big piles of large, black rocks lying around, and it's after a corner and a downslope- easy to believe this happened especially if the sun was just right. Roadies are always flying along that trail, they wouldn't...
heh I was gonna say the exact opposite! Bootleg is the first place I have ridden where the ratings seem correct. I like how they use multiples (triple black, double blue, etc) to fine tune the ratings. As I rode there I was thinking to myself, "Wow, when they say black diamond, they actually...
If you can handle the extra $$ I would say get the 7.5. I bought a 7.3 last May, and had to swap fork and shock immediately. The Manitou Metel is absolutely horrible, it just doesn't work at all. Anything at all is better than this shock, maybe mine was broken but I've tried several and I don't...
I'd been trying for a while to get more into Linux, I installed half a dozen distros and given up before I tried Ubuntu. For me it was the best and easiest way to learn Linux, here's why-
-you can make a Live CD and run the whole OS from a CDR, to try it out without altering your PC at all...
there's a few guys with 888/7point combos on MTBR. They seem to like it quite a bit, and say the altered HA is a welcome change. Personally I'd run all 200mm if I had a 888 on my 7point, I have a 170mm Super T on mine now and wouldn't mind a slacker HA one bit.
