    Rear shock sizing question ??

    Hi my Orbea wild has a 205 X 65 trunnion shock as standard , I've seen a coil shock that is 205 X 60 will the 5mm less affect anything , it's only 5mm so to me I can't see it would make much of a difference apart from 5mm less stroke ?? Regards Stuart

    Fox 38 Harshness?

    In step 8 I was surprised how tight the foot stud was , I didn't want to heat it up due to possibly destroying the inner oring and I couldn't seem to be able to get spares at the time , definitely need 10mm shaft clamps or you would never get the footstud off , Also the retaining clip that...

    Crank snapped my axle spindle?

    Yeah possibly ? I don't know much let alone seen the Shimano system is it the same way the cranks are fitted on the Orbea Wild FS with the extraction bolt in the centre of the splines ?? I can't see that the weight of the rider / bike / landing would do that but Im most likely wrong ?

    Crank snapped my axle spindle?

    I know e-thirteen have been known to have issues with their crank bolts coming loose (I have had no issues) but isn't that a part of the Shimano motor that's sheared of , theres obviously been a weak point somewhere and the splines were it , probably happened in the manufacturing process maybe a...

    Can you use SRAM brake hose with Hope brakes?

    I don't see why not you would obviously have to change the fittings , barb olive etc to fit the hope brakes ? I would imagine the brake line is the same size
