I'm not sure which Fox shock I have on the rear of my bike. It appears to be an air shock, and can be set by putting anywhere between 160psi and 220psi into it. I have a shock pump and am capable of adjusting it.
Additionally, there is a rebound adjustment lever (fast or slow) and a travel...
Hey I have a shimano 2002 enduro bike with a Fox shock on the back. It has two adjustments on it, which I'm trying to make sense of.
One is a travel adjustment, long or short travel.
The other is a rebound adjustment, fast or slow rebound.
It seems pretty simple, but I'm wondering what...
Thanks for the help with my bike. I appreciate having a resource like this to use for information instead of getting charged 60 bucks an hour to have some guy work on my bike.
I am a car mechanic, so I doubt any of these procedures are beyond my abilities. I will check out everything that was...
Hey guys, I've been working on my bike lately and I notice a few things about my brakes. I have hydraulic shimano brm525 disc brakes, front and rear.
What's bothering me is.. my brakes don't seem to disengage. I squeeze the handle hard, and the brakes work (with a loud loud loud loud loud...
I have successfully pulled my rims back to straight. They are about a 16th out of round now, which is doable for my quality tolerances. Thanks for the help guys, couldn't have done it without ya.
Yes, I did get a spoke wrench, it made things much easier. I tried the cable tie trick, but...
Hey, first post in like.... 5 years :S
I've been getting back into riding and I get my bike out to find that my rims are warped and some spokes are way too tight while others aren't even barely tight.
I googled "how to tighten spokes" and did some reading and figured it was simple and I...
Hmm, lot's of definitions. I think I'll go with full-suspension-rear, because I like the way it sounds, but if anyone asks me, I'll point them here. ;)
Maybe I will do that, I am getting a list together of things I need to get done/do to that bike, and I will prioritize them by $$ etc, which will decide my course of action.
New tubes... simple answer.
Interesting concept with the tube-over-tube idea, I likey. I think I will do that. I am looking at getting some tubes from some on-line store soon, as soon as I get some $$ into the right bank account. Yes, downhill tubes do look like the ones to buy. Thanks for...
;) Don't hold it against me.
I went for a decently long ride yesterday, prolly about 20 miles or so, mostly downhill into town. At any rate, when I got into town, I bike around a little until my friend came down.
In the process of biking around, I scored myself two flats. Made me feel...
Call me a harsh critic, and I suppose you'd be right, but.....
So far, I have some issues with the fenders and the ghei-lookingness of them. And yes, I am considering taking them off. The fr00t I got the bike from had about size 4 shoes, and a nice pair of size 4 clip-ins. Unfortunately, I am...
Backside is a good ride, all the ways down to LaPerouse. Prolly about 15 miles downhill or something as the crow flies. Fun stuffs.
And no, I don't need a space blanket. Not to say it doesn't get damn cold here. ;)
Thanks for the shouts, I appreciate it. Yep, I have friend who rides lots, I'll prolly get him to show me around a decent amount etc etc. Yep, I'm still proud of the bike. :D
Hey, I just acquired a full suspension bike, and I'm sure it's more than I need. From the small amount of riding I do, I can attest to the fact that it is very nice indeed.
I think it comes down to the deal. If you can find a good deal on a good bike, take it, and work around it.
Hey, I'm a n00b too. Nice looking ride.
I swam for a few seasons, and it's a very good cardio workout. I go to the gym on a regular basis, and it's hard to get that solid of a workout on a machine.

I am a light rider, generally road riding, and getting into mountain biking. Since I was a lot younger, I have appreciated bikes and enjoyed riding. I used to do a bit of casual weekend mountain biking etc, and then I got into dirtbiking. After...
