I've had two blue tune Fox 38 V1 MRP Lift dampers fail. The first was DOA. It leaked oil when the bike was turned upside down, and hissed air and oil out of the dial on compression, with a stiff bind when turning the compression dial more than four clicks out. MRP sent me a new one without any...

I'd probably do the Woods racelink replica with EXT arma shock and vaia fork for the shiver influence , with 2.8 magic mary's on 27.5 wheels for the fat gazzalodi look. I've thought a fair bit about doing a Tora cycles one.

Who handles DJI in Aus? It might not have been possible to get one here from crestline. My RS180 battery took a while to arrive from the Aus bosch supplier, and then the motor and control unit were replaced as they were found to be DOA when the battery turned up. The ability to have a 465mm rear...

There's some of Pole's old stuff still being sold by people who bought stock through the liquidation auction. I bought a brake mount because my version had it milled into the swingarm, so that's on top of the new stays. Would've been nice to get a spare front end for 350 euro if I was quick enough.

lol I paid his new operation $1100 for new rear stays that fix the cracking problem that was only designed out on the third revision of the voima stays just before he went under lmao.

lol Defcon the old distributor went under ages back. Burned me for $500 shock upgrade on my V1 Wreckoning frame purchase. Evil made good pretty much all of the people in australia that got screwed on frames from memory. I never bothered to find out if anyone picked the brand up after that...

The US president outlining the US military occupation of gaza and the ethnic cleansing of it's people is without doubt the most bat shit crazy thing I've ever heard. No mid east country will accept those people, firstly because it means acceptance of ethnic cleansing of muslims, and secondly the...

I still don't mind the occasional dart, especially if I've had a few, but my greatest ebike achievement was figuring out how to run my vape and wonderboom from the lighting connector on a Bosch motor.

Yes. Can't be bothered to change it around as it's an aggressor I got ultra cheap instead of something serious like a dhr2 maxxgrip. No. But it's got a Secus, a non vvc grip2 damper that has damping that isn't choked out by rebound like the vvc grip2, and was originally a cherry red marzocchi...

Yep, I couldn't agree more. I've just invested in another personal shuttle vehicle for laps before work. Now I just need the battery to turn up to finish the build. Charges off roof top solar too, so less carbon intensive than a traditional shuttle.

It's almost twenty years ago, but I think "Trend Whore" was already taken.

Drafted up a trollish post, but if you're running either a 38 or zeb at their max travel, and you're lightish, this might let you get into the end travel of those forks. There's a probably apocryphal suspension maxim that it's stiction, spring, then damper that you need to work on to get your...

Just because MTB direct had large banners with 50% off for many well known brands, and there was only one item actually discounted in womens XXS size, it's still technically black friday.

Because I'm climbing routes I wouldn't have considered climbing regularly (six days a week), to get to DH runs. Even though boost would get me up that climb, there are battery and heat management issues. I just try to keep the motor at normal trail assist, and use the gearing to keep me spinning...
