Just done same Ard rock ticket emtb enduro
Well my favoured Öhlins RFX 38 forks are with J-Tech for a warranty claim (they’re only 10 months old and need a new CSU!), so I’ve bought a set of crowns to put the double crown Öhlins DH38s from the DH bike onto my KSL.
It’ll be interesting to see how it rides with 200mm up front, over stroked to 65mm on the rear, and absolutely no steering lock.
Unsurprisingly it went really well downhill with the DH38s, but they didn’t do it any favours when pedalling! I won’t be leaving them on there, if I’m going to ride something that pedals like cr4p I’d rather just ride my Commencal (which these forks came off).
Unfortunately my Ohlins coil shock is also still off being serviced so I had to ride the 2022 Fox Float X2 that came with the frame. It’s the first time it’s been ridden and the damper failed after 6 miles so it was bottoming out constantly despite 200psi (I’m 50kg). Off to Fox it goes…

Big bore valves, sounds sexy, will they give more torque?

+10 mm upgrade for my Levo SL's Lyrik forks. This will be my christmas present to myself and the bike's only upgrade for a while. Am really curious on how 160/150mm will feel on the Gen1.
I did exactly the same. Fake arse shit.

I bought a waterproof jacket for my grandson's commute.
Altura Nevis waterproof jacket down from £60 to £19.99. Still en-route!
Edit: Added 6th Dec'24. The jacket arrived a day or so ago. It is a nice jacket and I have no doubt that it will do its job! It is reflective as well, something I had not noticed on the website.

The perfect recipe for peak performance.New chain, new galfer pads, topeak digital pressure gauge, torque wrench, carbon paste and peaty's bike cleaner
Swapped my cheap & nasty oem lower headset bearing for a sexy sealed cartridge. To my surprise, Chain Reaction have kept their Ebay store going, so bagged a ZS56/40 lower cup, bearing, seal & crown race for £8. Acros, Hope etc are four or five times the price & the Nukeproof stuff is easily similar quality.

That is good to know that Chain Reaction has the E Bay store.

They look awesome them jackets
While I'm not going to disagree with you here ( I don't know too much about them ) ..isn't the main advantage in the fact that they give a much larger contact patch to the ground when running at the same pressure ..and if I've read the blurb correctly it's recommended that you run the same psi as comparable non radial tyres to start with ?
I have been eyeing them up for a while, finally decided to buy one
Hopefully they are nice and roomy so I can wer a hoodie underneath for the colder rides

I bought a magnetic latch mount for my GoPro 13 and as per usual it was delivered by the Unreliable Parcel Service (UPS) and true to form it arrived a day late and in a box literally 10 times bigger than the GoPro box and without any padding to excuse the size of the box, I don’t want to offend any of our American cousins because I love America but GoPro need to get another courier, every single item I’ve bought from GoPro has been delivered by UPS and every time my items have arrived late or very late, rant over, here’s the item in question
Dunno if it counts as "bought" but Fox have just confirmed they're sending me a brand new 2024 Float X2 Factory as a warranty replacement for this one
