    Anyone try messing with the oil weight in the damper to get a 40 more progressive or give the adjustment knobs some life? I know it worked on my zokes but not sure if I'm asking for trouble in the closed damper.

    Online order mess up, should I care?

    It is rather simple but wanted to at least ask for input since I'm think I'm being too picky. I ordered a frame and all my parts from a few different suppliers through the shop and everything comes in ok for the most part except the stem. I specifically looked through the distributor sites to...

    Demo 8 wheel build help

    I'm trying to determine the easiest wat to figure out spoke length to build a wheel for a Demo 8. Lacing a Pro II to and 823, anyone on here have this set-up? I know my Hope to 823 for a 150 rear used 254/256 and for a normal 135 wheel it would be the same since Hope 135 and 150 have the same...

    X.0 vs new Saint

    I've been running full X.0 on my AM bike and some mix of X.0/X.9 on my DH bike for years now. Am I an idiot to consider trying out the new saint stuff? A friend tried the new XT shadow stuff last year and it felt like trash to me. I jerked around in the Highland parking lot on a friends bike...

    Options to upgrade Fox 40 Damper

    So I have an 06 40 rc2 and it is great. Just got new lowers on it, stanchions are perfect and the go ride stem is nice and makes life easy. The problem now is even after a re-build it doesn't feel as good as new or like the new 40's. Damper also doesn't feel as smooth and I think it should...

    Geometry/Sizing questions (MOB vs. ToP) mtbr x-post

    First I'll start off with what I'm riding now and the listed geo: DX xenia 22" top tube, 16.25" CS, 69 degree head angle, 70 degree seat tube angle. Now what I don't like about it... It feels too long/big in general and it just feels way too long in the rear end trying to manual it. The...

    Fox 40 Damper 10wt oil question

    There has been a lot of talk about servicing the cart of a 40 on here lately so I know people have been in there. I need to re-up my oil supply and am curious what people are using for the damper oil. Fox doesn't sell their 10wt so what have you guys used? Anyone know the specs of the Fox...

    Tubeless tire repair

    So Diablo ate 2 of my Michelin dh 24s. One was brand new and on its 2nd run ever so I would like to repair them if possible. They both have punctures (not too big and can't actually see all the way through the casing) in the casing right near the center of the tread. Stans wouldn't seal these...

    New DJ rear wheel... need some input please

    So, I'm building a new rear wheel because I'm officially tired of the crap freewheel hub I'm running on my xenia. I'm pretty much set on the DMR revolver cassette hub that comes with the 13t cog and then am just going to switch out the 13 for a 12t. My two questions are: Am I retarted for...

    Question for Diablo about Dom 3 race

    I just noticed that the 3rd Domination race is the same weekend as the Jeep event. Is this going to remain the same or are there plans to reschedule the Dom 3 race? I know it is pretty far out in the season but I was just curious.

    888 oil question

    I'm firmiliar with changing oil on my 05 888rc but I'm curious if anything different needs to be done with an air sprung 888? For example is changing the oil on an 888 sl ata or the new ata wc as simple as pouring it out and replacing much like my coil sprung RC? Any input appreciated. Thanks.

    Need some opinions on a new 888

    Well, the new 888 looks killer so it is on the list of stuff I want but don't need. My question is on going coil vs air. I know nobody has ride time on the 08 ones but the 07 rc2x compared to the ATA has to be a decent comparison to help decide between an ATA world cup and an RC3 world cup. The...

    661 core saver vs. assault pressure suit

    My buddy and I have been looking at pressure suits/body armour, we don't want a full-on pressure-suit with alot of arm protection, and we've pretty much narrowed it down the 661 Core-Saver and the 661 Assault pressure suit. The coresaver seems to be more like a bulletproof vest with not alot of...
