    Banshee Rune V1 - Suspension Upgrade

    Hi all. I haven't been following this threads for more than 2 years due to nice family reasons, so I stayed a bit surprised by topics that are mainly being discussed here these days and I doubted if I'm still going to post it. I feel very shameful, it's not going to cover any of the new...

    Lyrik Bushings - dimensions or standard number?

    Hi guys, I know it's not very DH related and it maybe a lama question, but anyway... I wonder if anyone of you ever measured dimensions of both pairs of bushings for RS Lyrik? Or if you managed to find out a standard number of those bushings, if they are standard bushings. I have a 09 Lyrik...

    Free-coaster hubs in MTB ?

    Might be a stupid question I'm going to ask, so potentially excuse me. I wonder why free-coaster BMX hubs did not spread into the full-suspension MTB? Anti-squat characteristics of rear suspension would remain unchanged however pedal-kickback effect of chain lengthening should be canceled...
