OP's self-diagnoses of paralysis by analysis is correct. ;) I'll add some anecdote... a friend of mine who lives in Bellingham is the destroyer of all things bikes. Bearings, linkage, frames, wheels, spokes, hubs, etc.... I'm talking 5 out of 10 rides he breaks something. He switched bike...

My LBS mechanic says his factory 38 requires about 5psi less than what is recommended for his weight to feel right to him. He's on a Fazua equipped Heckler SL. And he rips. It works for sure. Adding or removing tokens by the twice of a knob. But if you don't travel or have a verity of...

That's interesting. When I did a lower leg service on my 170 38, I put 94psi back in the air spring. My fork felt quite stiff and my LBS agreed. I dropped it down to 90psi and now it feels like it did prior to the service. I ride at 200lbs with a 45lb bike. I have an MRP ramp control in...

IXS doesn't get enough attention in the states it seems. my favorite pad from them is the Trigger Race. I'm actually editing a video reviewing 9 sets of pads. But it's not close to release. These are the ones I tested... POC VDP Lite G-Form E-line - owned, great pads Kali Strike - owned...

I used that spring calculator when deciding on 400 spring for the GF. With my own information, it put me right above a 450lb spring when riding at 200. Their answer makes me think their size Medium PNW is set up for about a 170-180 pound rider.

The PNW Relay being my first experience with a coil shock, I've been learning a little bit. Figured I'd share my thoughts and what I've learned. . First I'll share my experience in regards to Transition's spring rate decision for the PNW builds. Essentially, I think they are on the light...

Sweet!

Anyone see any strange Power LED patterns? This weekend on two separate Relays, with 2 different firmwares, I saw similar light patters happen out of the blue, while not riding. The pattern showed itself randomly with 4 lights, 3 lights and 2 lights and in any power mode. Most complete...

That is the correct build!! haha. Just this week I went from the only Relay in our ride group to being 1 of 3. The coolaid was too strong! A blue GX Alloy and a grey XO PNW was added.

Thanks, I'm pretty dialed, but there are 3 new Relays in town and they are all asking me for help. haha I wonder if they have the guide for the PNW version. :unsure:

haha. I did a double take on that one myself. But I was out of the van because loaded down it had a difficult time getting over this little creek crossing. The back bumper caught on something and the driver was checking it out. Oh man, about 10,000' a day for 8 days, the pads were crying...

it was quite different from the altitude I'd experienced elsewhere. Colorado at 11,000 some how fells worse than Cusco at 14,000. It was wild to experience the difference between high alpine in CO vs Peru. Peru seemed very easy to handle compared to CO. Maybe it was the humidity? Peru was...

I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion.... Yes, I have a full face wrapped helmet and my half shell is partially wrapped. The most important aspect of a helmet is the interior foam and if the helmet is equipped with it, some form of rotation device to slow down a twist on impact. (MIPS...

I live a sea level, so I was expecting to be useless. But arrived at 11,600' (slept at this altitude) around 9:30am, took that day to do a whole lot of nothing other than build my bike, take a walk, eat dinner and drink lots of water. Next day was an easy day toping out around 13,000'. Felt...

No, a small white diesel powered van with a home made shuttle rack on the roof. We were actually dropped at about 14800, hit about 14900 traversing and hiked up to get over 15000 and free rode the ridge back down to the trail. First time over 15k!

New = replacement in this context. They haven't updated or changed them. it just seems that some controllers are a bit faulty after having the wires tugged on them. So be gentile with the wire at the control ring and only snug down the bolt tigetning the ring controller so it doesn't slip...

~14,800' elevation on La Maxima in Peru.

Benefit of buying a factory 38 now is a discount. Sometimes, big ones. It's a great fork, for sure. Benefit of waiting for the new Grip X2 factory 38 is latest/greatest damping fox has to offer. Just a guess, but maybe 25% (or less) of riders will consciously notice a difference between a...

Did you request that from Transition?

I've had some issues with the Relay turning on, displaying lights, but no power. Usually resolved by turning off and back on. Also have turned it on to get the flashing red lights, usually resolved by popping the battery and putting it back in. But I have been trying to be better about...
