gotcha. but the torque is still transmitted through the wheel hub to the tire. Imagine if the dropouts were the size of a brake rotor- that would not make the fork stiffer. To spread out the stress of the hub, you need a larger dropout AND a larger hub so the CONTACT AREA is greater. no?

thank you for trying to explain it to me but i am not getting the 'floating' part. I understand the concept of a mismatched fork width and hub width. so if you fork is wider then your hub, your front wheel might not be held snug against the fork and wander back and forth on the axle. I would fix...

What is a floating axle and y should I care?

I've been hearing complaints about the Fox 38 creaking. Something about the press fitting of the crown to the stem.

wow! thank you. but i don't see a levo

In making the choice for a coil/air spring shock, the behavior of the frame is a big part of the suspension. Is there a ‘list’ of frame progressivity/linearity where one can compare different frames?

I used to do it years ago w my clinchers on my road bikes - but those were much higher pressure.

If you put your bike away for the winter, do you deflate the tires?

I know many people here like the muc off /www.amazon.com/Muc-Off-Wet-Chain-Lube/dp/B079NLF3X2 and then there is this dry lube /www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z779GMO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Is there a significant benefit to using one over the other? Some people say to...

I found this video that clearly illustrates how Horst link results in a progressive geometry In fact his whole series is well done.

Thank you for your replies. This clip does nicely summarize the interplay of shock and frame The Tuesday Tune Ep 12: Leverage Rates - Pinkbike But I am confused as to how they get the leverage rate curves for example that are in the link posted by brash. Is it simply measuring the shock travel...

I understand how a coil provides linear support and how an air spring can be progressive. But I recently heard the guy from PUSH talking about how his coil shocks are best paired with a frame that has ‘progressive geometry’. How can the leverage ratio of the rear triangle change when there is...

I am building a set of 27.5 inch wheels for a spec levo. The brakes are the standard sram guide RE which use 200 mm rotors. Are there any recommendations for new rotors? are the shimano icetech better? or should i get the 'floating rotor'-i don't know why you'd want a two piece rotor-just more...

An african swallow or a european swallow?

I am a yank who likes to mountain bike. I know most of the people here are from the UK. I want a leisurely bike tour with a bunch of people who are intermediate riders for a week. I dont know what's available in Europe. Has anyone here done anything like this? I purposely left the question...

Is this installable on a turbo Levo? I think i need the adapter but then looking at the crank, there does not seem to be enough space. Has anyone installed this?

@Dirtnvert What pressures do you run? do you cushcore?

are michelin Ewild tubeless ready?

who has these? miranda's website lists them as out of stock and they do not respond to email.

which berkshire cycles sells cranks? I cannot seem to find them here: Berkshire Bikes :: Welcome to Berkshire Bikes.com
