I started with a 5gal tank that I filled up at station when needed. Ask them to use the air inside, which allows you to fill it up to 125lbs, rather than the safer pressure outside for public.
Many years ago I got a compressor - cheap 4gal one that works fine, but is really loud. I still...
Hmmm . . . Stinky P here, never had any problems with chain/der in spokes, and ripped the plastic thingy off before riding both Stinkys.
Guessing here, just some thoughts: How's the chain-line - did he change it (add guide); is it catching the tire (over 2.5" tires); wheel centered on...
This is what I use, Channellock 10in. Large End Cutter Pliers:

with tire deflated and/or off rim
Above info works in most cases - wrenches and all, and I'd start with that. I found a good way to fine tune it to flat that worked good: Put on flat surface (glass or Al plate), and mark all high spots with sharpie. Do this on both sides. Place rotor on a soft wood board (plywood works), and...
Wow - this thread lives . . .
I agree regarding taking all springs out. Marz said to leave the shorts in, but I've never done it.
1st oil change: fork compressed, all springs out, rods up, carts filled, and 110mm. Bottomed a bit too often.
2nd oil change: same as above, only filled to...
They hooked me up when my Hot-S tires went south too quickly (1.5 months). It just so happens they knew about a problem with sidewalls (on Hot-S), and had since changed the design. The design change was noted in an ad I saw, which prompted the call.
The problem I had was only related to...
The brakes line came to long stock, so he wanted to use up some without cutting it . . .
It would pull the brake forward on the chainstay rather than push it back - I think it'll compress the rear on hard braking.
As mentioned above, Dyna-Flex: http://www.dynaflex-intl.com/gyro_info.htm
I started using one over 20 years ago for pitching, motocross, and various forms of martial arts. There was a huge difference in all areas related to hand/forearm strength and stamina.
As you would imagine, the one...
I agree with above - whip will scrub time (sail & gyro forces) mid-way through while keeping fast approach to pass, and still line up / make next turn.
Is he really doing this - looks like he's starting low and not really whipping? Is this to keep his speed throughout? Maybe by moving total...
I friend is having one done now, he said $40. It's been used ~14 months, the shop said it was marginal and may have contributed to the Joker swingarm failure (known problem, new models fixed). New swingarm and loaner shock that day from shop, so no down-time - can't ask for more than that . ...
Just yesterday . . . on my way to local fishing hole with son . . . when I launched the SUV over some rough stuff thinking I know I could clear it with the bike . . . then thinking it was a good thing I paid extra for those steel plates under the SUV. Just like biking - I'll try it again next...
