    888RC to 888RC2X.... Yay ? Nay ?

    I actualy really like the feel of the system 18 (which runs like a system 17 since both hoses are on the front caliper). Anyways, it offers a ton of modulation. Feeling is only a bit spongier than the system 12 (which I have in the back). Personaly, weight isn't much of a concern for me. But due...

    888RC to 888RC2X.... Yay ? Nay ?

    Well, due to brake issues, I can't run the Fox 40 unless I get a 10" rotor, which is out of the question. The boxxer on the other hand could be an option, but I'm still hesitant there because I'm more into freeriding than downhill.

    888RC to 888RC2X.... Yay ? Nay ?

    Well, here's the question. I currently have a 888RC, and it's doing it's job fine, cept for the excessive diving I get when braking. It's like I don't have any compression damping sometimes... anyways, I've had my eye on a 888RC2X ever since first heard of it. The flat crowns, and new...

    Reducing SPV volume linear to progressive

    Well, what you can do is reduce your air volume to say 50%, lower your air pressure as well... that should give you a bit more suppleness. Your sag will be increased though. If you find you're bottoming out, increase highspeed. Lowspeed should remain full out if you want to keep it supple. Or...

    32h vs. 36h

    The other thing I would keep in mind is the larger the wheel, the weaker it is. So, I believe that a 36 spoke hub would be a bit more appropriate to a larger wheel because of that. Especialy if you're not into racing, then the extra weight shouldn't be that much of a factor for you (not that 4...

    Master cylinder diameter of HFX-Mag brakes

    Hey there, I've got these 2005 HFX-Mags lying around, and here's what I wanna do. I wanna take the hayes levers and put them on my Grimeca calipers. Now, I need to know the diameter of the HFX-Mag M/C to see if it can work. Anyone know the answer to this ?

    Yay stupid me ! Er... is stupidity a warranty issue ?

    Actualy, no.... I've never snapped the pins off my hayes while bleeding... Probably cuz I leave the pads in... hehe.... but, I have contaminated my pads like that.... :p I've also stuck my finger in a spinning rotor (almost lost the tip and now have a cute scar under my nail).

    Yay stupid me ! Er... is stupidity a warranty issue ?

    Well, I called them up, explained the situation, they seemed to say it would be covered by warranty, then I brought it to the shop, explained what I did and they sent it off. Now, if they lied to the distributor for me to get it under warranty, that's them, but I for one was honest to everyone I...

    DRS on back order???

    It's used... I grinded the inside to fit it with my Diabolus cups, but I can give you the 2.5mm spacer to fit it to a flange mount adapter using the ISCG tabs on the adpater.

    Yay stupid me ! Er... is stupidity a warranty issue ?

    So yeah, here's the story... Here I am, looking for the serial number on my Swinger 4-Way shock, but can't see it anywhere... So, I take it off my demo 9. But, I still can't see it. Then, I notice this writing on the preload wring, so I remove the coil to see what it says. Turns out, it's...

    Integrated stem questions.....

    Um... don't all marzocchi DCs have pinch bolts ? Not just the newer ones ? Cuz, I seem to remember monster Ts and my 01 shiver all having pinch bolts. I don'T know about junior / super t though....

    Integrated stem questions.....

    Have any of you guys who stopped using integrated stems have some from your marzocchi fork ? I kinda need one as the steertube is just too darn short to use a standard stem. Fork is a Shiver, but I believe all marzocchi forks have the same hole pattern except for the 888 or something.

    Fitting grimeca brakes to a sherman

    Actualy, shimano has the same adapter as grimeca you can get 8" rotors on no problem with any mounting system, except the manitou post-mounts, where it only works with a 185mm rotor.

    Fitting grimeca brakes to a sherman

    Hi guys... I want to get some grimeca system 12 brakes off a friend and put them on my sherman. Now, I found the post-mount adaptor on the grimeca site, but, it has to be used with a 7" rotor.... I want to use an 8"... So, question is, is there some adaptor out there to fit a 8" with a...
