    yari damper upgrades

    I would prioritise the damper over the coil as the yari's old damper lacks any useful compression damping. And if you go to a coil you will have a less adjustable fork then you have now (no tokens or pumping the pressure up) which still has almost no useful adjustment for compression. I think...

    yari damper upgrades

    I went and did repeats of a rough fast section of track this morning. It starts with a S bend on a moderate decline covered with roots. Into a loose dusty berm then a drop, landing onto a down slope with lots of roots and rocks. A fast straight section with lots of chatter then flattens off and...

    yari damper upgrades

    Haven't tried the debonair but one plus with it is if your fork/frame can take a extra 10mm of travel at the front. Just order the deborn air with the longer airshafe. Easiest way to tell, if your fork has 2 scale for sag mine has 150 and 160. So I could have put a 160 air shaft in. Norco design...

    yari damper upgrades

    The fast damper is very easy to install $ 391 for self install. Undo allen key take noob off, undo damper remove, tip out old oil put new in measure from crown oil height, put new damper in. done. If you already have a charger damper I see no reason to change it for the fast yari up and one...

    yari damper upgrades

    I rode down the roughest track I do regularly and it was a big improvement. In the middle section (2 fast point and shoot straights with roots and drops everywhere) I felt a lot more comfortable and quickly found I could let off the brakes and lean back and let the bike do it. After that I was...

    yari damper upgrades

    I got the Luftkappe on friday and took the family out for a ride on sat and did not feel any real difference. Then on sunday I went out on my own it felt better the rougher and faster it was. Very happy with it for 90 $ fork feels much smoother at the top. It also did not feel like it was diving...

    yari damper upgrades

    Hi I have been looking at upgrading the damper in my yari (norco sight). There is one track which after I ride (if I haven't been there for a bit) I always start thinking my fork must be due for a service. I think it's just rough enough to show up the poor damper in the yari where every other...

    stacking post mount brakets

    I think I've stuffed up I ordered a 203 rotor for the front of my 2017 sight it currently has a 180 rotor with a bracket. So i ordered a 180 to 203 bracket instead of a 160 to 203 bracket. My question is can I stack the new bracket on top of the old one or should I just order the right one. Cheers

    Hi all from cairns

    I have been riding for about a year starting of with 2 afternoons a week doing laps of smith-field and a family ride most week ends. But since trying some of the tracks that come down from copperload I am finding I rarely go all the way out to smith-field when I'm not with the family. I'm...
