herbman is onto it.
Nomad3 has an awful leverage curve (heavily digressive first half of stroke = harsh then wallowy).
Best way to reduce ill effects is with a coil shock, ideally a smaller shaft one (so the 12.7mm small-shaft RC4 is preferable to the 15.875mm larger shaft). It still won't make...

Hose lengths:
Front: 940mm
Rear: 1630mm
Including the banjo and rubber hose cover at lever end, so subtract a bit if you need length without those.

Levers are identical between R1-R, T1-R, and RO-R with the pull master cylinder.
I just wanted this colour combo.
+1 for offset shock hardware. Probably the cheapest improvement.
Those pedals look really thick too, so you'll get a few more mm of effective mass height reduction just by switching to some thin flats.
For more aggressive change, I'd consider fitting a shorter shock (need to confirm size vs...
Item: Fox 36 float topcap (spring side), to fit 2015-2018 36
Where: Anywhere, will pay post
Price: Something reasonable
Details: The threaded part, doesn't matter if there's no blue valve cap
Dropped in for my yearly visit to see this blast from the past, bi 'n' oral! Hope you're well.
The bearings can be replaced with standard ones. Any good quality 2RS will do (SKF or whatever), the stock ones aren't great anyway. You can usually pull the endcaps off and the freehub mechanism just...
My friend had the same experience with Ti-Springs.com, the guy kept lying to him about his spring and it took many months before he even shipped it.
It actually became a running joke in our group since the service was so terrible, and after however long, the guy threw in some crappy $2 grips...
These are actual problems with Shimano brakes that have existed for a long time now, it's good to see that official sources are finally calling them out on it.
It's a shame that the new crop haven't fixed it, and by the sounds made things even worse.
Can only hope that the new Saint/Zee...
Haha don't even bother, this guy has been here for eternity and doesn't believe in owning a camera.
I've watched these threads since the dawn of time. If it didn't happen in 12 years it's not about to change now.
On the other hand, he's been here for eternity, I doubt he's going to run away...
A less well-known fact is that suspension oils with a higher viscosity index (VI) tend to have inferior friction properties and inferior sliding performance, notably in bath applications where the damper oil is also the oil for lubrication of bushings in the lowers. This is why Fox for example...
You'll need new spokes anyway since different hubs have different flange dimensions (changes spoke length). I'd just get a whole new wheel as you said.
For future reference, blue loctite (eg 222/242/243) are threadlockers, only really designed to stop vibration loosening of screws and nuts. The...
Which loctite did you use specifically?
You need to use a retaining compound for this application (which you may have), however I'd specifically recommend 680 or 638 in this case.
Assembly and cure time are very important - make sure all surfaces are cleaned free of oil and grease prior to...
