Re the corrupted firmware: firmware is software, it has to store somewhere. The firmware or the memory where it is stored could be corrupted - I'd be guessing the memory. I'm guessing that was still the issue, even though the lbs had a supposedly successful install. It's kind of like us getting...

Have a look here for discussion on tannus inserts. I only use one in the rear; I don't think I've had a puncture in the front while riding mtb.

That's a lot of hours in the saddle steve - it sounds like you're getting your money's worth!

Do I trust insurance companies? They are a business to make money, and that's it. I'm sure they would accept money for anything if it was a good deal for them. Maybe yamaha, haibike, giant, lapierre (any manufacturer using yamaha motors) dug into their marketing budget? It would be easy to...

I'm surprised the question came up :). Because it did it might be worth adding the bit about controlling the bike with the rear brake too ;) It is an awesome technique, easy to walk up stairs (lift with knee under the seat) and down stairs too - using that rear brake of course. And, you can...

or just hover above it all

Did you pump the fork at all while you were pumping it up? If not, then it probably wasn't @ 150psi in reality. If you are a noob, do you understand to pump the fork to equalise the pressure in the fork? If you did not do this while pumping, you may now need to add a bit more.

Yes, but a lot less likely. And even if it does happen, a lot less surface friction. Easier to clean - unblock.

If you use grease, you're actually applying a lot more torque to the threads. I often wondered about this - where are the torque values measured? Lubricated or not lubricated? Loctite when wet is also a lubricant. Crank arm bolts seem to be a trouble spot - I torque and use loctite on clean...

I wonder if increasing rotor diameter is getting too great for the 6 bolt design? Also take into account aggressive tyre design and width?

It may still be high volume - how tall is it? For example, the maxxis aspen was tall and high volume but not particularly wide.

I broke my ankle, lots of little bones in my foot etc - surgeon said it was like a bomb went off inside. Nearly lost the foot. To a degree my toes still don't touch the floor - it's amazing how much stability you lose without a big toe. The physio gave me a balance cushion - it's easy to use...

Wouldn't it be better to use the reflectors? They're very effective and they're using the light source of the car.

I can't speak for racing - that kind of goes against the mud theory / practice too. Fast on sand (to stay on top), slow in mud (to stay on bottom). I always assume that anything said is a generalization though; I thought that was a general assumption too. To me, sloppy isn't mud. Mud has a base...

Yes, you're right; I wouldn't buy them. I imagine that they will make a change in materials used or the design. I too like the theory of the design.

I don't know - I imagine (well, it would make sense) that lateral movement is very minimal because width expansion would be negligible, so just enough lateral clearance for movement. Those jigsaw type slots show space for forward and back movement, but we don't know what the bolts are doing...

It looks as though it has to be permanently affixed, is that correct?

That's up and down movement - is that a problem? It may even solve the warping problem that must be amplified with larger diameter rotors.

the 4wd community often get that wrong too. Big floaty tyres are great ON sand, but not ON mud.

if there is any mud around, my guard is covered in it. I live and ride in a hilly and steep area but there are still some flat sections. It works for dust too. Just like your forks, it is the rear of the seat post that gets the dust - with the guard I don't see any dust. I still wipe it down...
