These switches don't handle crashes the best haha. Found that out the hard way. Need to get another one now.
I didn't notice at first when the bike was still on after the crash, but once we stopped for water and I turned it back on, went to put it in "trail" and the button was smashed to bits...
yeah that lock is a bit of a pain. Not sure if others have the same issue, but my key takes a lot of jiggling to turn. Tried graphite powder and everything. Not a huge issue but enough to slightly annoy me whenever I wash the bike.
Other than that it's an amazing machine. Extremely happy with...
I have a long time ago, it definitely works, but it will be exactly the same as adding/removing volume spacers. Useful only if you require constant fiddling with volume which is strange.
The DVC and Runt are completely different products, they allow a much more linear air spring curve due to...
It comes with 3 purple spacers, remove 2, and up your pressure to maintain midstroke.
The SD Components DVC or Diaz design Runt also play nice with this fork. Along with the Vorsprung smashpot. Done all of the above and users are very happy.
I used to have an xl canyon sender, the thick frame and big knock block meant you had approx 90 degrees steering range with the triple clamps. There was one slow off camber corner into a chute on one of the local tracks you nearly had to do a three point turn as the steering angle was so poor...
I’ll clear this up for you.
The z1 is a fox 36 rhythm painted red. Thicker stanchion and heavier lower. Fitgrip damper with sweep style lsc up top and typical lsr below.
It’s an excellent fork. I will put my left nut on the table and say I prefer it over any fox36 fit4 version. However the...
Give Cyclery Studio a call in Sutherland Sydney, Mitch definitely has them. 02 9545 5404
Great mod, makes the bars so much cleaner. Takes 5 mins from start to finish.
Offset affects trail, but it’s very dependant on wheelsize and head angle geo as to what works best. The current trend for short offset 44mm forks on 29ers is for ultimate stability. It can feel a bit “flip floppy” whilst climbing but it’s very negligible difference. I swap between a 44 and 51mm...
Suspension companies work in unison with the bigger companies for bike specific tunes. Look at reactiv/Penske for trek, the many specific specialized mounts and tunes for their bikes etc.
The frame manufacturers will supply their data and leverage ratios and the shock companies will recommend a...
Suspension kinematics and geometry are probably the two most misunderstood topics in mtb. Yet arguably the most important to get right. Some love the feel of a linear design, where as others prefer an extremely progressive one. The riders weight and speed will also dictate what way their...
So I got a replacement today and same issue. I thought the odds of the same issue are slim to none. So started from scratch. Recalibrated to 23kph, same issue. Then tightened and aligned the speed sensor... same shit, finally I took the magnet off, gave it a hit with contact cleaner and...
As above. The hop ups just don’t fit. But I did manage to fit a sdc components DVC into my 36 Ebike fork.
Remember the 36 Ebike uses the 34 air spring, so travel is max 160mm and almost all aftermarket stuff in incompatible.
The good news is the grip2 version is excellent. If you can get it...
29 x 2.5 Assegai front and 27.5 x 2.4 disector in the back.
Cushcore in the rear only.
This is my current setup and I love it. I can get away with just exo casing with cushcore, knock on wood haven’t slashed one in 18 months.
The dissector is really impressive. Very good rolling speed but...
Probably fine. Run a typical 2.5 inch up front on 29 and 2.4 on 650b up back and the geo is back to square one as far as bottom bracket height. Get approx 0.75 deg slacker head angle.
I really don’t gel with the feeling of plus sized tyres that ebikes use so frequently. I need to run pressures...
Well my box is faulty now. 3 new batteries, recalibrated numerous times. Doesn’t “freeze” at 23kph anymore.
Back to the reseller I bought it from for a replacement. I had nothing but issues with mine. Wouldn’t buy again.
yes, it's a 210x55 with the 2mm nylon spacer removed. Can easily put it back to 55mm stroke. There are no clearance issues in high or low mode however.
Cane creek use a travel limiting spacer arrangement on the shaft with the usual 216x57 shock, but shorten the eye to eye to suit metric...
