    2015 Specialized Demo and Enduro Evo

    That "Metric vs SAE" world map is so false. Venezuela is a great example where both worlds live together, as it must be. I prefer the metric system myself, but the reality is that a huge part of things in life have been invented by americans. Here in Spain, it is very, very difficult to find a...

    The Official Iron Horse Sunday / DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section

    Well I was in Andorra two weeks back with the new -2 setup and I loved it. However, I found the differences to be more subtle than what I expected. They are there and I could feel them, specially in steep terrain or fast open turns, but the thought of "damn, maybe I would like -3 even more" did...

    The annual lets try to meet in Morzine and fail thread

    OK so I have been looking at where to stay this august and Chatel seems cheaper (haven't looked deeeeply into it, but it seems like it). Is it fine if I stay the whole 2 weeks in Chatel? I mean, if I can still ride the whole area from there, it shouldn't be a problem, should it? I would also...

    The annual lets try to meet in Morzine and fail thread

    Sorry to bother again but, just to be sure about what I just read: I just stay in the Morzine area, and if I want to ride the Chatel bike park I just take a lift near my hotel and then a trail all the way to the other area and I am there free to ride? This sounds like my vacation has just been...

    The annual lets try to meet in Morzine and fail thread

    OK so Morzine sounds like a better option. What about Chatel? 1 week each? How close are they? Thanks for the inputs. JP

    The annual lets try to meet in Morzine and fail thread

    I am thinking of driving up there (from Spain) this summer, august, but I am not sure whether to go to the Les2Alpes area or Morzine area. Do you guys have any advice? One week each wouldn't be enough would it? It will be my first time on the Alps and I want to ride epic stuff. I am not looking...

    Wow I find that impressive. Could you post your basic build? I have no idea how to go below 18.25 without going for thinner tires and tubes, or not spending life earnings! I run the EXO on my enduro bike and has gone good, maybe one day I will try it on the Sunday, but I have to wear my current...

    Well I went for the -2 deg cups. Let's hope I put them to use this summer! I owed you guys photos of my ride since last time that I got that play in the lower link. Here are some of the last photos of the bike, hope you like them (sorry about the ugly saddle, its a downhill bike!)! These...

    The Official Iron Horse Sunday / DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section

    Hi Gary, thank you for your input. You may be right I have been over thinking this (it is cooler than thinking about work related stuff :D). At least in my case, the Boxxer does not let me adjust too much. Crown positions, headtube length, or whatever reason don't leave too much room for...

    The Official Iron Horse Sunday / DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section

    Hi to all my fellow Sunday riders! I am about to get myself some Sworkscomponents cups (yes, I still ride the sunday OEM geometry, sorry!) and haven't had much time to research what option would be best. I know the topic has been talked about here many times, and I did a bit of fast reading and...

    Hi to all, I didn't have time to report back but the linkage repair was a total success. I just finished (literally) putting the rocket back together and it is amazing. However I will not ride it this weekend because tomorrow I'm gonna service my new (used, recently bought) Boxxer WC...

    The Official Iron Horse Sunday / DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section

    Well, I don't feel too good about breaking the bike apart again soon in the future so to be sure I don't get play there never again I will use the 603 in the pin. I'll let you know how it went. I owe you guys a photo of my rocket, I will upload it later this weekend. :D

    The Official Iron Horse Sunday / DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section

    Well, I don't really know how tight is the original fitting between the pin and the link, but the link doesn't seem to have too much wear, just the natural marks, and the pin goes in as tight as it goes into the bearings (tight but with enough clearance to slide it easily). Anyway, the locktite...

    The Official Iron Horse Sunday / DW-Link Tech. & Tuning Section

    Hey Udi, and everybody here, what's up? I was reading the Sunday thread, and I know it may be kinda old but anyway I wanted to ask. My Sunday developed play in the lower link, where it meets the rear triangle. I thought the play was due to the inner races not reaching the lower link. So I made...
