I did have them upgrade the damper during service. They had also determined the Grip 2 damper problem was NOT a warranty issue, which I disagree with but whatever. They gave me a really good "cost" on the damper shall we say. If they had determined the old damper had a problem covered by warranty, I believe I still would have had to pay said "cost" of the new damper but the fork service would have been gratis.So you had Fox upgrade the damper during service? Did they end up covering some of the cost under warranty? Maybe this is the way I should go with my 38.

You don't have wide feet by any chance? If so do the shoes accommodate a wide hoof?My go to shoe. So cheap
We need some true wide riding shoes.You don't have wide feet by any chance? If so do the shoes accommodate a wide hoof?
I have Ride Concepts and the toe box is a bit narrow and oddly low.
Crankbrothers Stamp fit me pretty well but they aren't super grippy and are useless in the wet, but are still a lot better than I expected from CB.
Yeah I'd love some riding shoes shaped like a foot, some Lems Primals or Keens with 5;10 rubber would be sweet.We need some true wide riding shoes.
I got new hiking shoes that are a true wide size and my god, what a relief. It's nice putting on new footwear and not feeling like you're wearing hockey skates.
I've spent almost $500 on shoes, only to go back to my worn in clapped out shoes, because I hate shoes that don't fit perfectly.
Sorry, end rant. Are there any true wide riding shoes, that are similar to five ten hellcat clipless shoes?
20% is my usual bro deal price. Will check if I can get a double tap. Got my GF Transfer post to service.20% off everything at https://s4suspension.com/
Could be a good way to get a discount on things that arent normally for sale, like brake pads, seal kits etc
If you did this to me I’d ask you to start paying 100% again20% is my usual bro deal price. Will check if I can get a double tap. Got my GF Transfer post to service.
Props to weareone. Emailed them about the deal and JUST buying a wheelset. They gonna split the difference and refund me the 15%Damn, thats a bummer considering I just got a set delivered on friggin monday.... Emailed them to see if i can get a few dollars back.
I remember when I was trying to buy some part for my 34 or 32 from Fox and I got a "sorry, that's not available any more...but we'll sell you a brand new fork at 50% off", so the new 2023 34SC model had just dropped and I got a pretty nice "deal" on that. I dropped an Avy cart in the old fork anyway to "fix" the issue. So they sometimes do stuff like that...like when they were fixing all those screwed up 2022 DHX2 rear shocks, but this is usually because they suck so bad in the first place at making suspension...So you had Fox upgrade the damper during service? Did they end up covering some of the cost under warranty? Maybe this is the way I should go with my 38.

Like always. Metal bikes too. The construction is great too, nicely CNCed stuff and good welds.Canfield bikes has some good deals.
My shimano GE7 are pretty wide. At least the footprint of the things are wide and they don't seem to be restrictive in that dimension to me. I bought em on a whim when I went down to ride in Seattle with Westy and others, having expected to get some other shoes in before my trip...but since that didn't happen I got those shoes in Issy and I've been really happy with them. No stupid BOA, good construction and don't slip when hike-a-biking.We need some true wide riding shoes.

Pretty snazzy looking too!lake makes wide shoes
Average but my 44’s were snug but my 44.5’s were loose in width. Going back to 44’s as i like a snug fit.You don't have wide feet by any chance? If so do the shoes accommodate a wide hoof?

I won't go as far to say anything about that. IME, you gotta try on shoes. I tried on 510s, shimanos, fox, etc. This is what fit.Did they fit to your size?

fwiw, my experience with Shimano shoes is that you have to use your euro size. I'm pretty consistently a 44 in most shoe brands. but for US sizes sometimes that's a 10, sometimes a 10.5. sometimes an 11 - but that's if they are really narrow. I have wide toes. Shimano have always fit best. I feel they're a little long too, but overall they've been good.I won't go as far to say anything about that. IME, you gotta try on shoes.

I have Fizik's now, and they are so generous size-wise that I was able to size down a half size...

I've never missed a fit going with UK sizing. If going with euro, I need to add two full points to Shimano shoes. Fizik ones are true to their euro sizes to me, but I'm consistently a UK 9.5 across all brands.fwiw, my experience with Shimano shoes is that you have to use your euro size.

Ditto this. Same applies to Specialized shoes. I look at the Euro sizing on my 5.10s and use that to pick Shimano / Spec, not the US sizing. Shimano only does whole Euro sizes, at least for flats, so my pair of their shoes feels comfy but definitely a bit long.fwiw, my experience with Shimano shoes is that you have to use your euro size.

super narrow and quite stiffFor the Aussies - Fox Australia has their Union flat, clip and boa shoes on sale at the moment pretty cheap. Like $65 - $85 a pair. The boas are like $120.
Interesting colour options however...
I have them leaning against a wall waiting to be used. As soon as I get this dang cast off...WAO 35% sale is killin me...
Anyone running Convert rims on a normal mtb?
