Emo's realised they had become too mainstream and went back to being goth's. Can still be found hiding out in awkward groups together in seedy underground bars. As for lads, they got a bad name here in Aus as it went from stereotyping English football hooligan types to including anyone with...

Have seen a lot of rave reviews of the Ergon GD1 grips and keen to try out a set myself. Worth a look.

They really are a great set of pads. I read a bunch of reviews before I decided on these, and couldn't be happier. Here is a good write up and it includes a good side on shot of them to give you an idea. http://nsmb.com/race-face-flank-leg-pads-reviewed/

The RaceFace Flank leg guards are amazing. Give these serious consideration. Super comfy and everything you could need protection wise. Extremely well thought out and rider tested design. Can't pump them up enough. https://www.raceface.com/products/details/flank-leg-guards

Hot damn, that thing is trick !! Sweet ride !!

If you are able to get the desired level of sag with your current spring, that spring rate is correct for your weight. It sounds like the compression circuits internally will need work if you are still bottoming out hard. Going up a spring rate is not the answer you are looking for. Why did you...

This is great !!!

Great thread as I'm in the same boat. Good to know there is hope and other guys out there riding after surgery.

Considering $5 33 years ago now equates to about $1000, it makes that $600 pump good value !! :bolt:

I did a bunch of reading on what makes for a good light and what doesn't just recently and was surprised at what I read. The vast range of lights on the market also makes it rather difficult to decide on what you need. It seems you really do get what you pay for. One thing that stood out when...
