    Bike-Discount.de -- Shimano Saint Blowout?

    What blowout? This is the normal price, there isn't even an extra discount (like on many of their other products) What you're seeing is the result of two things. First, for some reason, Shimano prices are much lower in Europe than in the US. That has been the case for many years. Don't get...

    Avalanche kits for the Pike

    Never thought of that one. Thanks a lot. I still have to take care of converting my 34 talas to float. After that I'll contact you to discuss the cartridge.

    Avalanche kits for the Pike

    Craig, Thanks a lot for you insight. There's one thing I'm curious about going to an open bath damper. Since these trail forks have minute amounts of oil to lube the bushings, even though the damper side is taken care of for a whole year, you still have to perform maintenance on the spring...

    Canyon Torque FRX frame

    I do. I use it as a non-lift assisted DH bike. I have mine setup with a Van 36 and a 22t ring up front, and it climbs rather well. Comparing with my previous Trek Remedy, it's a bit slower, but I can climb just about the same. The bike does bob a lot in de 36t ring, but in the 22t ring it's...

    Canyon Torque FRX frame

The thing in the second photo is a cover to a hole where you can pass a cable through the top tube. It...

    Canyon Torque FRX frame

    That's not true. You have 4 settings: 185mm/65º, 185mm/64º, 203mm/65º and 203mm/64º. I have one but I can't give you much useful information, since this is my first big bike and my DH experience is limited. However, for the time being I'm happy with it (read the bike is miles ahead of the...

    Lyrik Mico upgrade to Mico DH is causing problems

    Hi guys. I'm gonna leave a few pointers, many of them I already posted at MTBR. First, the revised parts are new for 2010. Second, the new parts fit on any Lyrik. I can confirm this since I have them running on a 09 Lyrik. Third, you have to pair the compression with the respective rebound...
