Hmm, jumping is about <insert made-up number close to 100>% skill and the rest the bike. That said, I feel that larger wheels make the factors of distance and whips a touch easier. Getting all FMB is harder (duh) due to the gyroscopic effect and because the internet says so. But, unless...
As usual, Udi is bang on. The Boost Valve is all about adding that position sensitive damping. I'
On the spring weight and sag topic, I see real potential for a 425# spring but they're not easy to come by and I've only seen them in Ti.
Ah, yeah, I recall the 40% days all to well and happy to be back to firmer numbers.
I'm running pretty much 0 preload, just barely snugging up the collar. That's resulting in about 21 to 22 mm of shock sag when measured from a standing position with hips just slightly behind the BB...
supercow - depending on your style, you might find a 450 spring on an RC4 to be the call. I'm around your stated weight ready to ride. I started with a 400 but bumped up to a 450. It's a bit unusual, a 450 is a heavy spring for an ~80kg rider on an 8" bike, but it works for me on the Undead...
KTM 300's commonly get 400+ hours on the bottom-end. Most people have no where near the skills to wring out a 300 so they last a long time. 200 hours is common on a top-end for these bikes. Yes, I'm well aware that's a ton of hours, it's just not that uncommon on the big-bore KTM 2-strokes.
The durability issues that I've observed are around air sticking in the negative chamber and blowing damping oil out around the rebound know. I've experienced both myself and know others who have had similar issues. That said, when it's working, it's well performing and fairly tunealbe.
Hey everyone, WAFTA (Wasatch Area Freeride Trails Association) is hosting a 3 Minute Gaps Permier, Tues, July 19 at Brewvies. There will be 7:00 and 9:00 PM shows. Since we are no longer charging any sort of membership dues, this is our primary source of funding. We really need to fill the...
Hey everyone, WAFTA is hosting a 3 Minute Gaps Permier, Tues, July 19 at Brewvies. There will be 7:00 and 9:00 PM shows. Since we are no longer charging any sort of membership dues, this is our primary source of funding. We really need to fill the house! If you can't make it, consider buying...
The shot for straight on the back was taken fairly close to the back of the truck with a wide angle, creating an optical illusion of complete obstruction. If you stand back a car length or so, the tail lights are only partially obstructed.
They are less obstructed than with a T2. As...
My experience with racks that have some "slop" is that they get to rocking violently on rough dirt roads. I have observed them build momentum as they get into a rhythm. This tends to eventually lead to bikes moving around, falling off, or damaging each other. Just my experience and maybe you...
These guys need to get with the program and get a 4-bike rack to market -> http://www.mweracks.com/
Having a swing-away will be quite a bonus those with SUV's or hatchbacks. Again, requires tires to be inflated so I have my reservations but unrestricted access to the rear of your vehicle would...
Ha! I didn't set out to hijack this thread. The hummer is such an easy target I'm surprised I didn't get called out earlier :thumb:
Anyway, it's actually really good to see a new player in the rack market. I had a T2 for a while and my bikes suffered for it. There was a Yakima Hook-Up in...
The angle that the pic is taken from makes it look worse than it is. Tail lights still have pretty good visibility.
Here's a 3/4 view to give a better idea -
Also keep in mind that this is not even a consideration unless you're actually carrying 6 bikes. With 4 bikes or less, there's...
