    What are the drawbacks of using a 27.5" fork on a 26" bike?

    I am in debate with some people who are saying it doesn't matter if you use a 27.5" fork on a 26" bike. Lets assume you are using a Fox 40 fork. Will there be any drawbacks of using a 27.5" version of the fork over the 26" version on a 26" downhill bike? Or is it negligible and really doesn't...

    Should I consider something else other than the Fox 2021 DHX2 shock?

    My bike is kind of custom built bike so I can't really say what type I have. It uses a 10.5x3.5" shock and has a heavier rear wheel than normal. Do you guys know how important the high speed rebound adjustment is because the EXT does not have this?

    Should I consider something else other than the Fox 2021 DHX2 shock?

    I thought Fox makes the best suspension, why does nobody seem to think it is a good choice? If I compare the EXT Arma and the Fox DHX2, you get more control with the high speed rebound which the EXT does not have. Why is the EXT better?

    Just wondering if there is something else I should be considering for a coil shock? Thanks for any advice here.

    Can you adjust a dual crown 27.5" fork to fit a 26" fork without geometry change?

    Looks like outsider bikes doesn't exist anymore. Can you even buy these offset crowns now?

    Can you adjust a dual crown 27.5" fork to fit a 26" fork without geometry change?

    I was wondering if you have a dual crown 27.5" fork, can you adjust the stanchions so that it will work just like a 26" fork? I will be using 26" wheels. The issue is that practically nobody sell 26" forks anymore.

    Best 26" downhill fork if weight was no issue?

    The 2018 fox fork doesn't have high and low speed rebound adjustments. The 2019 has this. Will the cartridge upgrades for the 2018 and older fox forks have high and low speed rebound adjustments?

    Best 26" downhill fork if weight was no issue?

    I'm very confused here so please help me out. There are numerous posts in threads on this forum about how air sprung forks are pure garbage. Many people hate them and wish they had a coil fork. They suck for small bump compliance etc. Everyone is paying to convert over to a coil fork. From...

    Best 26" downhill fork if weight was no issue?

    Any reason you said not the emerald? Are you talking about the inverted DVO emerald air fork? I was considering that one so why are you against it?

    Best 26" downhill fork if weight was no issue?

    Can you give me advice on what fork you would get if weight was no issue? I notice there are almost no coil forks for 26" bikes. It seems coil is better if not for the weight. So what would you guys do for a fork if weight was no issue? Thanks.

    couple of small scratches / nicks on coil shock shaft?

    I've removed my fox DHX Rc4 after using it for a couple of years after what seemed to be some excess black grease buildup at the bottom near the rubber stopper. I'm not sure if this is normal or not but just seemed to be building up. I think it may have been grease or oil mixed with dirt that...

    Marzocchi 380 CR questions

    I own a Marzocchi 888 rc3 evo v2. I am building another bike and was considering the new Marzocchi 380 CR. I have a couple of questions. I heard the Marzocchi 380 doesn't have as much oil in the shock as the Marzocchi 888. Will the 380 cr require a lot more maintenance? For the money, is...

    Bottom braket in swingarm suspension question.

    I'm doing some research and would like to hear different opinions. If you put the bottom bracket in the swingarm like in the picture below. Will this add the riders weight to unsprung mass in the rear? If so how much and would it make a difference for the worse? Are there any advantages for...

    Winter riding gloves cuase you to have less control?

    It got cold here so I wore thicker riding gloves, the problem I am having is that I can't ride the bike as well as thicker riding gloves cause me to have less feel of the handlebars. I found that proper gloves really make a huge difference on how well you can ride especially if your riding on...
