Just received the shock, it came with the full Kashima coating treatment. Nice dealio
@FlipSide @canadmos @mykel and other Canadian monkeys that I don’t know, I just came out from MEC with an XT M8000 GS rear derailleur for 60$ instead of 150$. They had many in both versions (GS and SGS), and some XT M786 in GS and SGS too (SGS were cheaper at 50$). I only have one bike left on 11 spd and the derailleur is almost new, but at that price I just grabbed one! The guy at the counter had a double take and was like « whoa that’s cheap! ».
They’re not on the website but if you are too far from one, maybe ask the service center if they have the same prices. All their house brand pedals were also dirt cheap, some models looked pretty good for the price.

Slightly unrelated, but I bought some insulated Freerider EPS Mid last year thinking that they'd be great for fat biking, but it seems that they're 1.Colder than my regular shoes and 2.Deadly to walk on snow. I discovered that thinking that they'd be perfect to snowskate with, but they're the worst. They might be good for fall or spring weather, but under 0C they're pretty much useless. At least they were like 60$ on sale on Adidas.ca
I got those, they're perfect for Squamish winters and day to day wearing 5C ish +/-, but yeah, not great when it's snowy or icy!
Spesh is almost giving these away now. I love mine. Going to grab another pair for when they die. $49

2FO Roost Flat Mountain Bike Shoes
If you’re looking for a versatile MTB shoe that can transition from hot laps in the park to cold beers at the base without missing a step, then look no ...
I've a pair of 2FO DH Flats in size 43.5 (10.25 Merkun) that were only worn a couple of times in our household that a monkey can have for postage.
Good deal, that's like $100 under dealer cost.
PSA : @canadmos @FlipSide @mykel and others Canadians : FYI on ordering Magura products from Germany if you're in Canada, it doesn't work from Bike24 anymore! That's where I was buying all my Magura stuff, it's 3x the price in Canada for brake pads and stuff. Not worth running Magura anymore if they prohibit it from all the stores in Germany. I don't know if it still works in the US, but I have recently ordered some Magura stuff from Bike24 and it used to be shippable to here.
Now going to build a spare DT Swiss parts room before DT does the same. A 350 hub ends up being under 200$cad from Bike 24 and they retail for 500$cad here.

Thanks for the heads up. Have not run Magura since Louise BAT days.
I have been finding this with the German stores, more and more things are unavailable to ship. The mfg/dist cartel is working hard to retain their huge north american profits. I only order one or two times a year now and do a price and shipping total compare between multiple stores. Shipping has gotten stupid as well. It was always a bit steep, but now, damn. Getting harder and harder to justify when all the little add-ons to make shipping worthwhile are no longer available. As long as they don't do stupid things with tires...
Lordgun is a good german shop as well
I don’t know… combining Lord and Gun makes for a weird store name to buy bike parts
You are on point.It seems like msrp on maxxis tires has gone up again, with them being $150 a tire, for the ones we'd want to run.
TBS has them on sale for $104...
$104 should be the msrp and the sale price should be $70.
Just checked Lordgun as mentioned above. No weird German kink to be found.
Anyway, they did have tires - and at first glance looks like a price of 50-75 canadian depending upon tread, casing and compound.
Shipping hurts, but still cheaper than local.
2 Maxxgrip DH Minions 134.00, Shipping 52.00, for a total of 186.00 Canuckistani pesos.
No idea. I have heard the name before. When mentioned, google led me to cheap tires. Did not check anything else out. From a quick look just now, Italy is where they are located and based on the little bit of chatter I read, they may be a bit flakey. Reviews are all over the place.
Not going on my list unless some of you guys back the place up.
No I’ve bought items no worries from lordgun.
Seems to be based on Italy though...
Lordgun were slow as shit when I used them.
I bought a few small items just to test them out, I won't bother using them again with the German shops being so quick but the DHL can be shit.
I tried Merlin for the first time, just gabbed a couple of cheap things to try them out, it was posted(or someone clicked the posted button) within an hour of me ordering it.

I recommended Ridewill in Italy to a friend last year, he wanted to buy a CC Inline shock and a fork, and those guys had amazing prices. He got them shipped to France, so I'm not sure about their shipping policies across the pond.
I found them while searching for replacement cartridges for KS droppers. Their shipping charges to Argentina were on the cheap side back then.
For reference, a Maxxis Minion DHR is 51.23 USD there, although they ship by courier so add another $45 (at least to Argentina):

USD, heavy, pinner 15mm axle, limited to 170mm travel, ACS coil system with pneumatic bottom out, dentist approved price.
What's not to love?
I do believe @Jm_ and I are still waiting for a reply to that very question posed to Darren over on empty beer. The poppet valve that isn't a poppet valve.I assume poppet valving as well
Have not watched this yet, but there may be more details about what is inside the box revealed here.
Pretty much guarantee it has the HC97 compression assembly including the non-poppet poppet valve.
Probably the only shims in there are for rebound.
Use what you got, that's why travel is limited to 170mm.
Using same springs and air bottom out system as the ACS coil kits.

It has the poppet valve from the rear shock, confirmed.
Basically a spring backed check valve. Fluid pressure against the ball / cone / plunger opens against spring pressure. Adjustment is spring preload on the plunger. Tuning options are limited, you have seat shape, plunger shape, spring opening and spring force to play with, with spring and plunger the only ones easily changed.Whenever I read poppet valve here, my first thought is pez dispenser head.
What is it?

Without the image you also just described a shim stack. The only real difference is that shims make it easier to tune the spring rate and progression. "Poppet valve" suspension manufacturers rarely offer different spring rates so you are stuck with adjusting preload.
Shim stacks are much lighter so should react faster. This could make a difference for high frequency chatter but no idea how that relates to bikes. I did talk to a guy who tuned race cars and he explained how a straight shim stack could give the same dyno results as a tapered one, but on the track the tapered one had better cornering traction. I assumed it was the lighter stack being able to react quicker. If you can think of things in the frequency domain, less phase shift.
