Bit of a post dump, it's in sequence but 'today' isn't today lol.
Well today went REALLY badly.
I got the new 2 piece linkage from MTB Monster, this replaces one of the weak points in the shock linkage with an improved linkage.
When trying to fit one of the bolts i was losing my shit and...
Interestingly we did my mates Status last weekend at FoD with the Shockwiz and his pressure was a lot lot lower, closer to mine on the back. (Before today)
I didn't get a chance xe to ride his yet, but in Morzine I'll deffo do some runs to compare.
I do love a Shockwiz but at the same time, I...
Posting this in 'Lounge' as it's not an Ebike thing, but honestly a VERY interesting day.
With a looming trip to Morzine me and a mate were at FoD last weekend and chatting with Rich Simpson who owns/runs RSR Bikeworks. We've known rich for a few years now and had the boys bikes done once upon...
But how does this manifest itself for the consumer ? How would they go about not-tolerating it ? THere's only one real option and that's not buying the products, which some seem to not to with say Shimano motor'd bikes or Fazua, but some people still love both of those, some love Brose some hate...

It could be a spacer needed at back of cassette or a hub bearing, without seeing it i can't say 100%
Is it a Shimano HG type ?
You can get a 10mm spacer that not only gives you 0.5deg of head angle slacker but obviously moves the top og the fork 10mm further from your frame. Worked well on my Trek Fuel ex.

Basic directions:
– Head to the top of Mossettes and down the fireroad that runs along a ridge on your right looking as you go up the lift.
– Look for black Swiss National DH track (its pretty easy actually) which heads off left and down towards Crosets. At the second road crossing you go right...
