    Manitou Gold Label 80 measuring longer?

    My Gold Label 80 measures a little closser to +100mm. Not sure if they put the wrong spring in there at the factory, or because it just needs to brake in. I know Im a little nit picky, but I bought it because I wanted an 80mm fork. Anyone else have the same issue? Also, on a side note...

    Wow ... i ordered my shirt about the same time you did. I guess I must have been lucky because I received my shirt about two months later, exactly in the 6-8wk they said it would take. Sorry man. Hope everything works out.

    If you are thinking of getting a Ridemonkey shirt

    It took me two months to get mine. I ordered in September and received in November. I seriously thought it was never going to come in. They mail it in a regular paper envelope. Nothing special. But, the shirt is of high quality and doesnt shrink.

    Switching Crossmax to 20mm axle

    Ahhh ... they come with spacers. Never knew that, the wheels came stock on my old Giant VT1. Would have been nice to have this information, damn LBS/Giant! The spacers were never included w/ my bike. Not sure if you know this already. You have to purchase the spoke wrench separately. I...

    Switching Crossmax to 20mm axle

    Just pop them off. Nothing will break. You can actually pop them off with your finger/fingernails at the square grooves on the adapters. Flat head screwdriver works best thought. I use to own a pair of these rims, but sold them due to the fact that the hubs are spaced 100mm, and they left a...

    Evil Doc owners .. BB length sizing help

    I know the Doc bb is 68mm. But, what length do you run to ensure optimal chain line. 113mm or 118mm ? And I will be slapping on a chain guide, if it helps on determining my bb length.

    Facing/ Chasing tools

    Where can I get a good quality facing/chasing tool for less than $200. All the facing/chasing tools that I have seen cost in excess of $350 (i.e. Park)? Also, for intermediate mechanic like my self would it be recommended to face my own ht and bb. Or should I leave it to the shop professionals.

    $1985 DJ frame from IF?

    Just received my Decline 06 buyers guide issue. In it I see Ind. Fab. frame "beatstick" for $1985. Who in their right mind would shell out that kind of money for a DJ frame, a frame that will probably get a whole lot of pounding. More like a show room piece to me. Given the frame is custom...

    EVIL DOC ... HT facing? BB chasing?

    I bought my frame from beyondbikes.com in San Diego and not from my LBS. Yeah, I think the price my LBS quoted me for is a little steep. And is it really necessary to get the head tube reamed? Wouldnt facing be enough?

    EVIL DOC ... HT facing? BB chasing?

    Evil Doc owners, Did you have your headtube faced/reamed, and bottom bracket chased before you built it up? I dont know how much frame prep work goes into frames before they leave the manufacturer. Especially frames that are built over seas. My LBS wants $35 to face the headtube, and $40...
