    Those carbon beam rims are solid. Just spent a week banging rocks at trans Tasmania with one on the front.

    Jindabyne Mountain Bike Park

    Coffs is a fkn wierd conservative white retiree shit hole. No amount of rad hills, elevation and local Mtber enthusiasm is going to overcome that. Might change once the bypass is open, but given how utterly useless local government in the region is I wouldn’t hold your breath.

    Unicorn Shock - 216 x 63mm w/o Piggy Back Reservoir

    Yeah that’s right. 216x63mm shock in a 210x55mm metric ibis Ripmo AF frame. I ran two offset bushings that got the 216mm eye to eye down to 212mm to not impact geometry too much. Resulted in an overall increase in shock stroke by 8mm and wheel travel increase from 146mm to 160ish mm.

    Unicorn Shock - 216 x 63mm w/o Piggy Back Reservoir

    210x55 with offset bushings will almost get you to 216mm eye to eye. Reduced travel through. I went the opposite way on my Ripmo AF.

    World Cup Downhill and EDR thread

    Bloke didn’t even turn up to the podium after his no show in the start gate. Proper cheese eating surrender monkey stuff from Bruni IMO. Pretty weak sauce.

    X2 change stroke

    Yes. 230x60 and 230x65 are the same shock with a travel reducer in the 60mm stroke version. Your 200x51 shock was likely a pre metric shock (imperial?) that had no avenue to add/reduce stroke.

    Yeah for sure. I’m 85kg and been racing some of the state enduro races with them. I made sure I ordered the 120kg weight versions in either the 34 or 36mm widths (can’t remember)

    I’ve been riding on a set of these and the older version for about 2 years now. They’ve been totally solid.

    Reckon that depends on actually how big Damo is.

    Possible to swap the shock shaft?

    I looked into this a couple of years ago when I made the same purchase mistake. The cost of the specific RS tools and new shaft wasn’t worth it. Ended up selling it on marketplace for what I paid and made sure i was specific about the bikes that the fkn bearing eyelet fits
