    Avid Juicy 7’s Pumping up???

    All fixed...:) They must have just been over filled from the factory and it wasn't allowing enough room for expansion. Yesterday I let about 5 drops of fluid out of the caliper bleed port. It has been really hot in the shed today and they have not changed one bit.

    Avid Juicy 7’s Pumping up???

    I have some 05 Avid Juicy 7’s that have been having some problems since new. When it’s a hot day they pump up and have hardly any lever travel and the pads pump out and rub on the rotor creating quite a bit of drag. I bought them complete and pre-bled from the factory so it’s not like I’ve...

    Best way to go Tubeless

    I use the Stans system with Mavic D321/729 rims with Maxxis High rollers and Minions on my DH bike. It works AWESOME! Never had any problems...and NO MORE FLATS! :thumb: I have also used Tioga White Tigers. They worked OK, but were quite hard to inflate, even with a compressor... I also...

    05 swinger 6-way Problems...

    I have just got a brand new 05 swinger 6-way for my Giant DH team. I am running a 400lb spring, around 80 psi in the SPV and two turns of volume. It has a “nock/slap/loose” feel in the compression stroke. If you jump on the seat and let it fully rebound it doesn't do it, but if you compress...

    Leaking Dorado's...

    I have a pair of 04 Dorado MRD X-Works that are only about a month old. They have been leaking oil since new. After a few runs it gets a nice big oil ring and starts running down the stanchions. I have herd that Dorado’s leak a little oil to help with lubrication, but this is getting a little...

    8.75”x2.75” shock in a 02-04 Giant DH???

    Has anyone ever put an 8.75”x2.75” shock in a 02-04 Giant DH in place of the original 9”x2.75”? I would like to replace the RS Pro Deluxe with a FOX DHX5 in my DH Team, but the closest they come in is 8.75”x2.75”. I have checked and there is enough movement to allow the slightly shorter...

    CRACKED Axel Clamps!!!

    The now broken lowers were actually replacements as the shaft holes in the base of the original lowers were out of alignment causing the air piston to leak. The photo of the Hex-Lock Platinum on the Answer site is beefed up in the area that broke on my forks (see below). I can’t remember if...

    TPC+ In MRD X Works???

    I have contacted Marcus and Bobby and both of them said it cannot be done, they do not recommend it nor do they authorize it! :mad: :confused: If all else fails I think I will try and modify a MOJO cartridge and run that in them...

    TPC+ In MRD X Works???

    Marcus at SCP was the first person I contacted. I ask him this question and he answered with the following: Hi Is it possible, with a few modifications, to convert a late model 2004 Dorado MRD X Works to TPC + and still retain 200mm travel? Cheers Regan Hi and thanks for the...

    My Shopping Trolley…

    Nixon Hold up...What the? They have the same crown/innerlegs as the Sherman and the same lowers as the Stance but are air sprung and weigh 1.9kg! I can’t see any problem with them holding up to DJ’s. Yeah, the chain guide is a little out of place, I know, but it's silent, keeps the chain on...
