Well It was timeto put my Winter commuter away for a few months so I figured I'd do some Work on it be fore storing it for the summer

My commuter is a Specilized Stumpjumper Hard tail with a Rock Shox Pyslo Fork.

well cleaning up the drive train I noticed I think My chainring needs replacing

In actuallity forget the chainring the whole crank set needs it , it is a Square Taper BB and ther eis some rounding going on on the crank ( after all it is 12 years old ) And one of the pedals is broken too.

Next the fork , It has siezed. so I take it a a part and as I take it a part , the Main Spring is in 10 Pieces !! ( any one have one they don't need ? )

and I manage to pull the rest of the fork apart with no real surpries , except it took a LArge Pipe plamp to Unsieze the fork

Well I guess I'll use a Manitou 6 fork for the time being on it till I get the parts for the pyslo.

I think I have a Psylo hanging up in my "shop." I'll check.

Is that a U-turn? I think I have a med spring/cartridge 2003-04 Pyslo for a U-Turn.

LOL! Nice work Splat. Your drivetrain looks like it "survived" the Churn & Burn Mud race

New spring coming thanks to Brian!!

Shows that a Northeast winter of salt and Sand is worse.

LOL! So true! I was totally amazed that I shark-toothed my chain rings in a day of riding, atleast you had more miles on yours.

Gotta love the monkey!

Lets just focus on me here

So true!!! I should post up the parts I need (very random even for me). I have no brake on my SS (one is broken and Sq-Earl keeps stealing parts from it to fix his brakes) and a new road stem.

I have a 70mm ITM stem that works with 31.8mm bars if that would work for your road bike.

Cool. I'll check and see if that might work. Earl's old stem is a 110mm and I know that's going to be too long.

Okay - just let me know.

Well , Last night riding home from work, went over a bumpy portion of trail bottomed out the fork and it didn't come back up. guess its time to take it apart again and see what the issue is this time or maybe its just time to retire the that fork, after all it has seen lots of Miles/abuse.

 

[w00dy]

Time for something a little less Psylo.

 

[splat]

Well I took it apart again. Spring is intact but the Years of Salted Winter roads have taken there toll. RIP Pyslo. I got that one from that Bum MMcG, I think I'll demand my Money Back.

Think , I'll just replace it with ........ Another Pyslo

That's because it's a California spring. Way more laid back

Splat!

I f you need it and can wait 'till monkey Fest, I got an old DeoreXT crank square tapper here, it's missing the BB but the gears (22-32-44 I believe) are good on it.... I'll make you a really good price on that ;-)

I saved the spring so when I crush the one in this pyslo I have a replacement

No Need , thanks any way. I replaced that crankset last year with an Deore XT with Octolink.

Oh! Didn't realized that you dig out an old tread....
