Thanks
What drive train? I am sure my single speed setup (RF Atlas cranks, E13 guide, Shimano chain tensioner, SS cog) requires a different chainline than your geared bike.
Depends, is the guide BB mounted or ISCG mounted??
ISCG should be (1) 2.5 spacer on non-drive side, (2) 2.5 spacers on drive-side.

For my 2014 turner dhr... Rf atlas E13 iscg5 10speed sram x9. What spacer combo?
Yeah, not sure about Europe but shipping anything from US to Australia is ridiculously expensive. Plus, we have to pay 10% sales tax on anything over $1k.
EDIT: do you mind if I ask how much shipping cost?
Thanks for the info, sorry for the diversion and enjoy your ride!

The last iteration of my DHR, now with an 888 CR. 
Why do people buy Boxxers?
I managed to smash the SS Alfine chain tensioner during on of the bigger hits today.
Any suggestions for a more robust SS chain tensioner for a DH application?

hahah, yeah the presence of the monkeys was strong at highland this weekend. we were mirin' your single speed tho!! so sickSo it was you, I remember you guys behind me in the line. Nice meeting you there!
next time i head up there ill make a thread to see whos going up! cheers!
so I expect to receive a 2012 turner dhr on friday, so I wanted to know how you guys set up the rc4? I saw the recommended settings in their website, are they spot on?
And talking about denting the bb area, anyone knows if there are any protectors aside from a tire?
cheers

Yes, the Turner recommended settings are good. You don't need much air pressure or damping with that shock.
the previous pages explain tuning on what type of RC4 you have ( fatter shaft or thinner shaft )
i am tuned with 140psi and everything turned out, with my low speed 2 clicks in and it feels cherry
i bought mastic tape ( 3M 2228 is the product number, google it ) and put two layers near my bb/downtube area
i recently got dinged up pretty bad at jiminy peak. seems like the mastic will do the job though

2 layers of mastic tape seem to do the job. I dented my downtube when it had 1 layer on. I haven't peeled back both layers yet, so I'm hoping that it's work well!
me too hahah
how was jiminy? i'd like to get out there before the end of the season. it's one of my favorite places to ride.
glad to hear that's working out for you. THe gold looks awesome.The last iteration of my DHR, now with an 888 CR.
i was just thinking about jiminy this morning lol
steep, tight, and rocky/shaley.. "i" trail was awesome, so much fun. we did the right side of the mountain only once or twice, but the left side is pure gnarly!
it aint no park lol ( although there are some jumps and drops here and there )

Are you talking about the right side facing down or up from the bottom? G to K is probably my favorite, but it's shockingly easy to get relatively lost there. Were the trails in good shape? The rider's left side of the mountain is way less gnarly, (CBF etc.) and more fun to ride than just eye bleedingly steep.
i think we are getting our rights and lefts mixed up.. i always think of it staring at the mountain lol
G was steep, i remember that trail... H was very steep with baby heads everywhere, it was washed out to hell. its the race course i believe.
when we went the trail crew was working on the right side of the mountain ( i think B trail ). and when i mean working, one dude chain sawing down a tree and almost crushed us lol (serious, smallish tree though)
we just kept on getting faster and faster on i trail and stuck to the left side of the mountain for some gnar ( we wanted to break away from the highland smoothness haha )
did any of this make sense? i just pounded a strong cup of coffee and i feel like im about to implode
Jiminys great, but they really need to open the big lift before noon. I know that deters me from going there, especially later in the season.
agreed; big time
question:
what kind of nipple fitting do i need to regrease the bearings? i have the cassette tool...
and any tips on how to do this?

Any normal grease gun will work to the DHR pivots, no need to use the cassette tool and take off the cover unless you want/need to check the pivots are tight.

As mentioned above, you don't need to remove the covers to get grease in there. I took mine off anyway to see how much grease got in through the ports; everything worked swimmingly.

Thanks again, Sandwich!
If you fill your cheeks with grease you can usually just hold down the zerk with your tounge and spit it into the pivots.
You know....'road trip rules' and stuff.

yeah i dont want to put too much in and have it "blow" an o-ring.. i heard it pushes the old grease out?
im trying to picture this in my head and its getting real weird lol
So I broke the Alfine chain tensioner a week ago and with little time for a proper fix between two weekends, I got a little creative with a hack to get the bike back in business. Instead of being properly mounted at the hanger, I just made the tensioner arm rest against the stay with a massive rubber bumper made of an old grip. I got to ride a bit yesterday and the hack seems to be working fine, no chain slap and less chatter from the jockeys, too. Ugly but working great...
gawd damnit i want a silent bike.. if it works, it works!
2228 3m installed lol.. and downtube tested and approved by mountain creek last weekend...
Lets see how quiet the chainslap is this weekend in PA

I have a question about set up. Im pretty close to the recomended settings for the rc4 (9 hsc/10 lsc from full closed), and found it spot on, but I can almost reach the bottom out bumper (only 6-7mm left aprox) just by pushing down when on the pedals. Should I increase de B.out adjustment.? maybe having it full open its not progressive enough. With that said, the rest of the stroke its so controled and smooth.
photo in the crime scene:
How much do you weight and what spring do you have? You could be undersprung.
300 lbs for 71 kg with all gear on. Sag its ok, 21mm = 27%
That sounds OK. Maybe try a 325 spring, but it's hard to find springs in 25lb increments. You could also try putting a tiny bit more air or closing the bottom out adjust a half turn or so. That said, if you like your current setup, you probably shouldn't mess around too much!
what weight spring are you guys using with fat shaft RC4's and how much do you weigh?
fat shaft rc4 kashima. weight 71-72 kg gear on. 350 spring two turns of preload 21mm/27-28% sag, I had 300 but was too soft, had to use too much preload to get sag.
settings after 1 month of testing:
psi: 145
b.o.: 1turn from full open
hsc: 8 from closed
lsc: 11 from closed
rebound: 5-6 from closed
