Thank's for everyone's input.
I have been in contact with Extreme Eyewear in the UK and Goggleman in Aus. Each have different recommendations for my powerful (-5.25) prescription...from Bolle, Oakley, UVEX and Wiley. Looks like there are many options out there. Also came across of mob called...
Hi,
Having worn contact lenses from 18 yo to about 50 yo my eyes started to reject them. Having also astigmatism corrective surgery not on the cards.
Are there others in my position whom rode with special glasses?? A few recent youtube vids have worried me about riding in my day to day glass...
I posted this week re my bolt. on jam 2 9.6 2019. Just found from my Focus dealer that rocker also stripped so now need to wait 6 weeks to get a bolt and rocker...the joys of being downunder in Aussie land. Not happy with dealer as they say it is not a warranty issue.
thanks for the advice. will look into that this week. Come to think of it i only really pedal strike on this bike and hardly ever remember doing it on my acoustics.
Yeah was meant to spend 4 days in Derby after St Helens.. At least you were able to keep riding..must have been full on if it smashed your helmet.
See ya in Derby :)
Has anyone else had an issue with the bolt / thread to rocker burring?? About 6 months ago i got a service at LBS to which the rear shock was having its seals replaced. The LBS bike shop called and said the bolt going though top of rear shock / connecting to rocker has stripped. I had to go to...

My jam2 lost the non drive side crank twice on the last ride. Only had the multi tool so did not get great torque. My fault as it does come loose and needs constant checking. Think locktight may be the go on next service
Hi,
never heard of rockguardz before though looking at their site it looks like an awesome product.
I'm loving the Jam2. Mine is the 2019 9.6 plus (27.5) so big chunky tyres and i may also get another wheel set as a 29 down the track.
The Jam is eating everything i ride esp the rock sections...
I have had no damage as of yet with the caveat I've only ridden about 6 times (damn the Canberra smoke pollution). re as cover Im not sure re DYI, potentially some after markets item is out there. There is def some noise which in my limited experience was just noticeably louder than the Bosch...
Mate I posted a similar forum query.
Having test ridden Levo the powerfly5, focus thron and jam I went for the Jam. Though it was 6500 Aus and on special ( originally around 8000 aus)
I heard Meridas are awesome but I was unable to get in a test ride.
I'm sure Sydney has more shops and test...
