    Any recommendations for prescription mtb glasses ??

    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...

    Focus Jam2 6.8 nine SNAPPED LINKAGE BOLT

    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.

    Focus Jam 2 - squeak / stripped thread at rocker and top of rear shock

    Cheers for the feedback... the rocker arm option seems the most resolute...though probably not the most timely. Will ask the dealer about both options

    Focus Jam 2 - squeak / stripped thread at rocker and top of rear shock

    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...

    Anyone have issues with their cranks coming loose?

    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

    Noob from Sydney Australia

    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...

    Hi and happy xmas emtb's. Which emtb?

    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...
