    SLX cranks for dh?

    We have a set on a demo bike for 09. They look beefier than the hones we had last year, a little slimmer than the 09 saints we have on the other bikes. We'll post up if anything happens, but they look like a solid set of arms.

    Dhx 5.0 propedal knob issue

    Haha. We had the same results. Even with the set screw tightened the PP knob was "floating" on the BBs. We also run little to no pro-pedal so the knob was turned counter clockwise all the way. There is a lot of endplay on the exposed PP adjustment shaft: out in Just turn the shaft all the way...

    Dhx 5.0 propedal knob issue

    Perhaps it matters how far the PP shaft is turned in/out when you take the knob off? We'll pull one apart at the shop tomorrow afternoon and report with results.

    Official commuter thread

    Not complaining at all, this weekends weather was fantastic! We just need to appease some winter god of weather evidently. 64 degrees and sunny yesterday: we had a BBQ to celebrate the opening of a new community bike co-op. Rocked shorts and tees all day. 40 degrees and drizzing into work this...

    10 inches of snow and 14 degrees last Monday, 62 degrees and dry as a bone today. Riding to work in a Tee and jeans rocked.

    Official commuter thread

    Hey, guys, just thought we could add to the thread. It was 53 degrees in the city last Thursday, tempting everyone to take off their fenders and switch to skinny tires in promise of spring...then Sunday night it dumped 10 inches of snow and the temp dropped to 14. I hate winter in...

    Hammerschmidt on ISCG adapter.... Here we go!

    Isn't the schlumpf torque arm/BB/drive all integrated? The Schmidt uses a more or less normal BB design with a bolt on drive system that is separate to the mounting/operation of the BB. The schlumpf torque arm seems more in place to keep the BB from spinning in the shell.

    Brand New HT

    I think what is trying to be said is that your new ride is on the lower end of parts/frame quality and at 270lbs and regular use, you're going to thrash that bike to pieces in no time at all. That said, 2 wheels is better than none so go out and ride some easy trails at first before you try to...

    Fork oil/seal change

    Everyone has their favorite brand but as long as there aren't seal swelling additives, there is real no difference between equivalent weights of motorcycle and mountainbike suspension oils.

    Hammerschmidt on ISCG adapter.... Here we go!

    That's it in a nutshell. The ISCG adapter will probably torque loose and spin. That said, give it a twirl just to prove us wrong/right...it's winter, right:busted: The tech manuals are, indeed, very fussy about clocking and tab clearances. We've become very fussy about wanting to use the...

    Chub

    Been rockin' the chub every day on commuter duty in salty NY for 3 months straight. There is a minor issue of bearing preload when you re-adjust the chain tension, but it seems to work itself free in the first ride. We got a rear one on demo from the hive, and are quite impressed with the...

    2008 Marzocchi 55 TST2 Rebuild Oil Level Problem

    The non-damper oil is just for lubrication, though it's strange that they put too much oil in the wrong side. Usually we've found oil low in both legs. Also, drrrrrrty oil is pretty common for the damper side of marzo forks, especially in the initial break in. We've turned golden spectro...

    Sourcing Direct Mount Stem/Crown Bolts

    Your best bet to be sure is to take your top crown and stem to the metric hardware section and see what fits for sure. Oftentimes the bins at Lowes/Home Depot will be mixed-matched from people rummaging around.
