I was going to say it was because it had a service interval of about 13.7 seconds, but you beat me to ityes, but because the damper was hot garbage. it would need a rebuild after a parking lot test.

Good idea, flawed execution.

C'mon, Porsche bikes used to feature those! That's the closest to dentistry you're gonna get!How about NOtec?
Interesting, with no real need to keep stack heights low on trailbikes these days, a full 1.5" steerer makes sense if it really offers an 8% jump in lateral / braking stiffness. Shame frames ditched compatibility but maybe again someday, if someone doesn't make an external cup adaptor already.Frontal: 236.1/262.8/284.8
Get out of my head.For all the e-bike hate here, I think e-bikes will be what forces stiffer forks and better brakes from the industry, which can be enjoyed by self/gravity-propelled folk too.
at least they're not carbon?Are those supposed to be the handlebars sticking out??
I wonder if the 36 on my Pivot Shuttle is an e-bike specific version. I guess I'll find out when/if Push refuses to work on it (I think their parts aren't compatible).Get out of my head.
that's the first thing I though of when rockshox started making e-bike forks two years ago.
It took 60lb trailbikes to make slow people realize that components could be built better. Whatevs....at least it's happening. The shittiest part will be that my purchase will register as:
"See? ebikes are popular! People keep buying these forks for them!"
there's a 4 digit code on the back of the lowers you can punch in here to find out:I wonder if the 36 on my Pivot Shuttle is an e-bike specific version. I guess I'll find out when/if Push refuses to work on it (I think their parts aren't compatible).
He'd forgotten what they even look like.that's a DH fork.
That's pretty much what the old one was.That build in non-moped form as an Enduro Evo would be pretty cool.
Didn't have a dual crown, which is most of what I'd be excited about.That's pretty much what the old one was.
Well, no one said they were stoked on the Lyric's light weight, and yes, an extra pound+ on the front end can be felt. These days it's almost impossible to get a proper enduro bike under 30lbs. Considering an enduro bike is a trail bike that needs to be climbed and hopefully is fun on flatter trails, 30lbs is kinda porky. Not many people are looking for ways to add a pound to their bike. They're looking ways to shed weight to make up for the gains from 29" rims & tires, cush cores, and 200mm droppers.So a Lyrik weighs 2000g and isn't stiff enough, but a 2500 gram Boxxer is too heavy?

I've thought about it a lot . . . just haven't found a good deal on a used fork yet . . . my 36 @ 180 feels relatively solid thus far but the potential for extra smashability is intriguing for sure.I was always curious about running an SC Nomad with some reduced travel WC Boxxers. I imagine that could be a pretty lightweight build if you chose wisely.
The new Nomad frame weighs more than my V10.5 frame. A Capra frame is lighter and rated for a dual crown.I was always curious about running an SC Nomad with some reduced travel WC Boxxers. I imagine that could be a pretty lightweight build if you chose wisely.
I can hook you up with my old forks.I've thought about it a lot . . . just haven't found a good deal on a used fork yet . . . my 36 @ 180 feels relatively solid thus far but the potential for extra smashability is intriguing for sure.
Well, you’ll save over 6lbs if you just go with one Boxxer.I was always curious about running an SC Nomad with some reduced travel WC Boxxers. I imagine that could be a pretty lightweight build if you chose wisely.

I have a pair of Totem's.Like I keep saying: TOTEM
Remember all the little tribal graphics on those things? That's because they knew they'd come back from the dead with a bunch of chanting around a camp fire.
totem.....totem.....totem......totem
Shit, now I said it too may times and that word sounds weird.
Haha, I emailed Manitou to see if they'd do a Mezzer with a 1.5" HT and they referred me to the NZ distributor who said it may be possible, seemed like too much work to still end up with a shitty 15mm axle though.When was the last time someone made a fork with a straight 1.5 steerer? Some Manitou abomination?
after owning a mattoc pro i gotta say i like the looks/specs of the mezzer, and early review are very positive.Haha, I emailed Manitou to see if they'd do a Mezzer with a 1.5" HT and they referred me to the NZ distributor who said it may be possible, seemed like too much work to still end up with a shitty 15mm axle though.
Magura dropped their E bike fork after a year, the auto turning under brakes feature was not a quality E bikers wanted.
Is that what came on the orange julius?Guys.
I just got a '19 Grip2 36 and it feels great. At first I though the whole high- and low-speed rebound thing was too much, but it turns out it's pretty amazing. Am I allowed to like this fork?
You guys.
