Nice try at being a Dick, but I won't bite. You have any opinion you want, just understand that it doesn't make you right. Can't help but notice you use no facts or data to support you, just calling names. Get back to the playground...

The Domain is indeed a heavy fork. If weight is your primary worry, I'd go Lyrik for anything 160mm or more, Pike for 150mm.

And just to qualify my above comments, I teach suspension mechanics at the only school in Europe that is directly supported by SRAM/Rockshox.

I think you need to get over that and look at guys like Sam Reynolds, Brett Tippie, Tom Isted, and others, who are charging far harder than you ever will, and all on Suntour forks. I take it you've never looked at the cheap, rusty, Rockshox crap forks then? Do some proper research, instead of...

Have a very good look at the SR Suntour Durolux forks. I have previously always favoured the Lyrik Ultimate but, having recently picked one up through the trade, I have been riding a Durolux36 R2C2 for the last couple of months and so far have only good things to say about it. Performs way above...

I agree with Chris. ebikes are still in relative infancy and so having the full warranty that comes with a new bike could be worth it's weight in gold. A rental bike will have been well maintained, but that won't include the motor and battery, as neither are maintainable by the shop.

118 from memory, though not 100% as it's been a while since I counted it.

If you can get one, go Vitus. Prices are very reasonable (compared to other eMTBs) and specs are great. Check out the 2022 range, just released.

Would you do me a kindness Dave please, and photograph the parts and post them here? My replacement headset, which came direct from Across (paid by CRC), does not have any extra parts, such that you describe.

Is this the 297, or the original version?

Was that due to bearing wear, or sent by CRC (in the same vein as the battery door)? I haven't even opened the new headset I got yet, but now I want to to see if I have these plastic deelees too!

All for that! (y)

It's been a little while coming, but I'm almost there with this limited edition Felt Carhartt cruiser. Some interesting ride characteristics, great for popping to the shops though. Just pondering a custom leather frame bag, to go with the bar and saddle bags.

No issues with mine, and that's going off some big stuff too, but I did swap the shock out for a Float X2 and fitted it myself.

Cool, thanks. Yes, you will be able to increase your front rotor size by 20mm as well. On the rear you'll need a 200 or 203mm adapter, of the same type you have, same on the front. Bear in mind that the front and rear adapters are different types. This one would be for the rear LifeLine IS to...

Those are both the rear. You'll be able to upsize by 20mm on what you are currently running. If you can ping a photo of the fork, let me know what make and model the fork is, and I'll let you know about that too.

A point I'm constantly reinforcing on our courses!!! 😂 😂 😂

My opinion is that of a professional bike mechanic who teaches professional bike mechanics for a living. When you've had several plastic lever bodies that are repeatedly returned under warranty, because the threads strip, it's relatively easy to form an opinion on plastic lever bodies. That...

Completely agree here. Have had several Shimano Ultegra levers written off, in the workshop, due to stripped threads in the plastic body. All replaced under warranty, but that's not really the point!

I've heard good things about the 'Shigura' setup, not tried it myself though.
