    Bar tape for grips

    For some time, i used tape for tennis rackets on my downhill bars, because i have short fingers and needed something thin. gives great grip and feeling for terrain, but its really useful just for non rocky trails because the tape doesn't isolate vibrations from trail well. maybe for someone with...

    Yess Chain Tensioner for DH

    you should go with 16t (can accelerate out of gate, and have good range covered). i have 38t front and got ss kit with 16t and 18t rear, but never use 18t. if it were used on fr bike where you have to pedal some uphill then 18t would be good choice, but on dh bike is too easy to spin out.

    Best Downhill Rain / Mud tires ?

    i got them 2.2 front and rear, and for plain mud without offcamber rocks and roots they are working better than 2.5, because they dig deeper in the mud. if it's rocky and a lot of roots forget them, they slide all over.

    I need a Clapped out Super T

    don't worry about breaking that thing... looks awful, but works like a charm. qr20 system works like preload for axle, main forces are spreaded upwards, so there is really no greater chance for breaking this than original system. as i said, i was riding and racing this way for 2 years, and i'm...

    I need a Clapped out Super T

    if you have a qr20 super t, there is a solution to use it without getting new lowers. i was riding my fork like that for allmost 2 years and works better (it is quite stronger) than original system. in this image you can see what you need to do: it is important to tighten the axle good...

    Post your single crown DH/FR beauties!

    Transformed from a 10", like a sofa handling bike, to a quick, fun, and relatively light bike (currently sitting at around 41-42lbs, with 2ply tires and heavy kenda DH tubes): '04 Azonic Recoil with 7" front/7.7" rear travel, old and ridden hard but still going strong.

    Azonic gravity

    it is. gravity's are not produced anymore. i have azonic recoil, older version of gravity, but with 240e2e shock on it instead of original 222e2e so it gets same 10" of travel like newer gravitys. for plowing through rockgardens it works like a charm, but if things get tighter it's like moving...

    difference between azonic recoil and b-52

    i don't mind less travel and more "freeride" geo. used to ride an single pivot with 7" of travel and short wb and it was good enough for me just had a ****ty shock. just wondering what would i lose and/or get with changing the frame.

    difference between azonic recoil and b-52

    hello. i'm currently riding azonic recoil with marzocchi roco rc rear shock. i'm interested in buying new azonic b-52 frame (well, not exactly azonic...poison bikes has the same frame for much better price) since i want something bit lighter to turn around. i wonder if b-52 has the same...
