    Do we have a chainsaw thread?

    I have three Sthil's, two get used at least a day or two every week building trail. My main saw is a MS261 and use a an older MS280 as my back up / stump saw. No complaints. Local Sthil dealer support has been top notch too and has been the main reason we run their gear for all our small...

    New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

    Got my new pogo stick built. Pretty stoked on the build, a few small things to change down the road but it'll do just fine as is.

    Best cassette for DS/ 4X racing?

    new free hub body came in last week. Got that on the hub with no issues. Tried to remove the rest of my cassette from the old freehub, cogs right well stuck, hammering will be required. I think I can get it all freed up with out bending it, so might luck out and be able to save it. However...

    Welding 7075

    I've seen some trials bikes that are already going out with 7075 frames. Well.. partially. Clean for example uses 7075 on the CNC'd bits on their frames. https://cleantrials.com/en/cuadros/214-x1-26-frame.html Don't ask me how they made it work.. magic or something

    Best cassette for DS/ 4X racing?

    Well my current free hub is sliced to the point where the cogs are a few rides away from spinning free. So I have to get a new free hub body regardless. I thought that the Ultegra cassettes only spidered the largest 5, maybe I'l have to look at that again . My worst issues were just in 6-8.

    Best cassette for DS/ 4X racing?

    Best cassette for DS/ 4X racing?

    yep, I kinda figured I was more or less out of luck, but you never know until you ask. I think Hope still makes steel freehubs so I'll grab one of those.

    Best cassette for DS/ 4X racing?

    Does any one make a good full (or mostly) spidered 10 speed cassette around the 11-28 gear range? I have a 105 cassette now and the spider only covers the three largest cogs. The middle to bottom of the cassette, where I spend most of my time on course on, and in during gate starts is non...

    #TenYearChallenge

    Need to toss some riding shots in Hardtail hucking it back in the day on my old Astrix. Loved that bike, what a tank. 66º HT with the 66 and custom drop outs on it. It was awesome on the DH and drops. Most recent decent shot of me riding last spring on my Stumpy (Has a Helm out front now)

    Both, thankfully. Off bike for the standard "two weeks".

    The non gruesome results my last ride.. Lets just say that even if it's kinda warm (relatively speaking) don't ride icy trails with out gloves unless you like getting a bunch of stitches in your palm. :(

    #TenYearChallenge

    Had a series of Norco Shores around that time. Each alas only held up for a few month before cracking. I sold the 3rd frame before ever riding it. Good on Norco for excellent warranty service however. Got a Demo 8 now for DH and FR days

    headset help

    That should do the trick! I'll ring my local Specialized dealer in the morning. Thanks.

    headset help

    so would that be a race that sits between the bearing and the regular crown race? (in this case the one built on the fork) If so that would do the job and should be easy to find.

    headset help

    Hey, Say you had a frame with a tapered integrated headset and you wanted to use a straight 1 1/8 fork on it but the fork has an integrated crown race (can not use a press on crown) what headset would work? trials bike problems..

    Cane creek Helm

    I've got one on my StumpJumper. Not enough ride time yet to give a proper review. Initial impressions are good however. I just got it on last week. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaPGQ2D0Jt/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

    Single crown optins

    yes, by "fix" I mean put a new CSU on.

    Single crown optins

    Yep, I've warrantied many CSU's over the years for this issue, will be looking into it for my current fork once I do a bit more testing and cleaning to ensure it's not a headset issue first. Fox has always been great at fixing them in the past with no questions asked. Good service in my books.

    Single crown optins

    How does the stiffness on the Ribbon compare to a 34? Anyone have experience on both?

    Single crown optins

    Hello , Looking for a bit beefier fork for my trail bike, a 2018 StumpJumper. I have a 34 (not step cast) on it now and it feels it's a bit too flexy and the crown is starting to creak. Some options I'm considering include the ribbon, lyrik, helm, or maybe a 36. I've had good luck with the...
