    09 888 ata wc

    I had the same problem, I blew one cartridge at a Mt Snow race, got it replaced with an 09 cartridge which apparently had better tolerances than the 08, rode it for maybe 7 hours before it had blown again. They're going to replace it with a spring as well. I'd suggest selling it while it still...

    Warped Rotors

    I normally use an adjustable wrench or 2. The second wrench allows you to bend just as section of the rotor rather than the entire. Flip the bike over and spin the wheel slowly, checking where it rubs hard on the brake pad, and bend accordingly. You can fix quite a few rotors this way as long...

    Pike Opinions

    My 2008 Pike got really cold one day, then I brought it inside and the internals cracked and locked out the fork. RS was good though and sent me a new one. Performance wise it's been awesome, no complaints

    Leatt Brace: Sport vs. Club

    I've been wearing one with a 661 pro suit for the past year. Cut a slit in the back of your jersey and slide the back piece down under the spine protector, the same as you would for other suits. It works fine, the front piece rests on top of the chest pad on the pressure suit. No need for...

    Izimu pivot axle removal?

    Loosen the drive side nut a little and tap that with a rubber mallet, everything else after that is pretty straight forward. There's a washer in between each bearing and the front triangle that you'll have to remember to put back in.

    Leatt Brace helmet compatibility?

    Did you flip the brackets in the back around? If you look they aren't symmetric and can be flipped, thus lowering the back piece even more.

    Pics of external BB conversion

    I'm running an LG1 and gravity lite cranks on a morewood izimu so it has the same specs as what you are describing. I have the LG1 bolted on with 1 set of spacers underneath, and then the bb is on there with no spacers. I needed 2 real thin ones on the crank axle and everything lines up now.

    I hate to ask this, but helmets for a big head.

    XL 661 helmets don't have much room in the face either. I wore an XXL Azonic Fury (or the 661 equivalent) and then switched to an XL/XXL D2 and that fits just fine.
