    Sam Hill's bike at Fort William ... after a crash

    I've heard they're pretty soft... ;)

    661 vs Rockgardn

    RG CYAs have been great for me.

    Organic or sintered

    The ONEs/Megas do take a little longer to get right but the Oro line is just as quick and easy as the Juicy/Elixirs. Same bleed kit, same process.

    Organic or sintered

    Avid and Formula bleed exactly the same.

    Avalanche Chubie

    As long as it has the High/Low adjuster you should be able to set it up great for pedaling as well as the descents.

    Another AVA Advantage Product

    Craig said they are planning to do the old Boxxer but need to reduce the size of the damper to fit. If it's the rebound you're unhappy with PUSH addresses that with their new kit.

    ODI grip extraction

    I use a version of MarkDH's method, I put a rag over the grip and use vice grips to pinch the clamp then I can usually remove even the worst stripped bolt. If that doesn't work I usually hacksaw the bolt to try and save the clamp.

    highland race this weekend

    Your DS bike can definitely handle the trail. It has some short, steep sections and is pretty rooty/rocky but isn't a steep trail with a lot of pitch.

    5th to Avy is best bang for buck, it transformed mine.

    New Avy DHF 7.5 ??

    Have you spoken with Craig yet? If you give him a call he will help you figure out what would be best. I have found him to be straightforward and not at all pushy about trying to sell you more than what you need.

    New Avy DHF 7.5 ??

    Craig re-named the forks to be consistent with how the other manufacturers measure their travel (I believe it had to do with some negative travel being factored in). I wonder how the 7.5 A2C measures compared to my 888, anyone have any figures on that?

    Who wears padded shorts? Looking for a little hip protection...

    I wear Rockgardn CYA shorts and like them They saved me big-time this weekend, I would have really smashed my hip without them.

    Bleeding Formula "The One" - shorter lever throw??

    I like the Kool Stops a lot and others have reported positive experience with Goodridge. In the States I think Kool Stops are easier to get and like I said the price is good. I have resigned myself to the fact that my Megas are the worst "parking-lot test" brakes ever, you can't appreciate...

    Bleeding Formula "The One" - shorter lever throw??

    http://www.ride-this.com/index.php/kool-stop-disc-pads-formula-megaoner1-sintered.html The Kool-Stop pads work great and are cheaper then OEM by a fair amount.

    ISCG 5-6" travel frame. XC/allmtn

    2nd. Loved my Splinter but the RFX feels as good and is much lighter and even stiffer.

    Formula MeGa - The sh*t, or just sh*t?

    Great to hear. I have my Koolstop pads used on 2 muddy days and they are holding up well. The brakes have been as good as I could hope, ridiculous modulation and plenty of power to use when needed.

    New Avalanche product

    Craig explained to me that many of his customers are overseas and shipping individual parts is obviously costly. This way shops overseas can buy kits with all the parts they need to re-size shocks. BTW, he was very clear in saying don't buy one of these kits and expect 24/7 technical support...

    Light wheels for 500 or less?

    Custom wheel build at Chain Reaction Cycles, you can price out any of these combos. You have to go to each item to check weight though.
