    Fixing Lyric RC Shim Stack

    Its a very easy task to reshim the RC damper. I have done it on pike RCs several times. Most of the time the problem is the preload of the compression stack by a ringshim configuration. Eliminate the preload of the compression stack and you will be fine. Adjust the shim stiffness to your...

    Brake pads

    You could also try Koolstop sinter: http://www.koolstop.com/english/disc_magura.html KS-D170S is the one you should try. A friend of mine is using these in his MT5 with great results (less fade, more braking force and less wear than the orginal pads). I am using the same compound in my Formula...

    Fox 20wt gold oil?

    I found Fox Gold only to be usable in temperatures over 10°C. If you are having problems with stiction in cold temperatures try Mobile Vactra no.1 (tested by me between -5°C and 30°C). If your temperatures are above 5-7°C Mobile Vactra No.2 could be the better choice. So when Supertackys start...

    are there any "creakfree" singlecrown forks available?

    Devilles are normally sold in pairs (as in forks ;-)) as replacement parts are unavailable and the german distributor needs month to fix something and regulary sends back a fork with a new defect. So one for the bike and one for travelling via DHL. When I bought the fork the shop betrayed me by...

    are there any "creakfree" singlecrown forks available?

    Of course I checked that its the crown and not anything else (forks without frame). To be fair I too never had a creaking 66 in five years. One quarter of a pound more forged alu in the crown would be a perfect "tuning option" as the remaining parts are holding up fairly well. To find a...

    are there any "creakfree" singlecrown forks available?

    I am posting this in the dh forum as the chance to get feedback from riders abusing their equipment is higher here than elswere in this forum. I am searching for a singlecrown fork with about 160mm that currently is in production and has no problems with developing a creaking sound at the...

    The worst good component you've purchased

    no, I did not brake these M6 bolts, the upper bolts of both Turner frames cracked with a loud "ping" while the frames were in the orginal packing from Turner. Frames were delivered from a cold UPS car into a warm living room and about 30 minutes later both bolts snapped. When opening the packing...

    The worst good component you've purchased

    MY 2012 and 2013 RS Lyrik forks: Introducing the new proprietary 108x20mm Axle standard. I measured 15 forks from friends and online retailers and all were 108mm +-0,3mm wide. To fix the problem RS invented a X9 Hub for the 110x20mm standard, being 108mm wide (search online its true!). Trying...

    Cane creek airshock showdown

    The regular CCDB air even has AVEF as the only shock on the market today. Automatic Valve Eject Funktion It is used to save the air inside the shock from getting compressed too much. It is working like a charm as I was able to activate the funktion on a 8.5" and a 7.57" shock. So if your...
