    Mine ****ing doesn't. ****FOX are idiots. And other fork and I wouldn't have to service it for twice as long.

    Don't use soap to get your tires to sit right.

    Maybe, but why risk it? After cleaning all the nipples I used CRC yesterday.

    Don't use soap to get your tires to sit right.

    It's the age of very tight tires thanks to the tubeless revolution. I am not tubeless, and was told to use soap and then to over-inflate to get by ri-goddam-diculously tight Bontrager FR4's to seat properly. The other day on a ride I broke a spoke nipple. Went to the shop to get a...

    How the hell did you find that? It doesn't exist on their website: http://www.sram.com/rockshox/component/rear-shocks

    Front wheel DHF vs. High Roller

    For DH, either wheel. Just don't reverse it. I actually do all mountain, so they're useless to me on the rear as I need to pedal uphill in the damp.

    Front wheel DHF vs. High Roller

    Since you don't have to accelerate with the front wheel, can anyone give me pointers as to the DHF's advantages over a high roller? thanks, [p

    There is no allen key size on this planet for.....

    XX. Aren't you supposed to be a cross country racer to use those things? In which case you just throw them away after each race because they've collected mud and so are too heavy!

    There is no allen key size on this planet for.....

    I haven't quite tried every size on the planet but, yes, I've tried imperial to no avail. My old, second hand, Code 5's were so rounded out that I had to use a hacksaw and make them flat-screw! Mine are CR 2010 aswell. Torx sounds much more sensible. Part of what you pay for when you get codes...

    Avid Elixir brake pad retaining pins. I think they are supposed to be 2.5mm, but there's just so much slack it's BEGGING for trouble!

    Choosing your username... THINK before you do it.

    Haha! Almost - downhiller's: only slightly above teenaged basketball fans on the shallow scale!

    Pinch flats vs. fiddly tubeless - isn't there a better way?

    Same, but then I wasn't using grease! I was more thinking that if you're cornering and you hit a pointy rock and your tires are (obviously) too low or you're real heavy, the tire is a little skew because it's trying to peel off the rim towards the inside of the corner, and the centre of the...

    Pinch flats vs. fiddly tubeless - isn't there a better way?

    Yeah I was thinking I could do an experiment but I don't really want to damage my rims. I have no problems with pinch flats and I only run 20-22psi. Watched the video. I'm still skeptical though. If it works, why do these downhillers still get pinch flats? I can conceive that if you pinch...

    Pinch flats vs. fiddly tubeless - isn't there a better way?

    Hahah Yeah I've never tried either. Don't intend to. I wouldn't be surprised if both are old wives tales.
