I subscribed to Revo for years
But then half the mag was devoted to emtb (which is fine, but not my interest)
Last time I picked one up it was close to $15 and I just couldn't justify spending that much
I do miss the days when I could sit on the shit house and read mtb mags (never big on MBA...
Item: Mavic 819 wheelset 26'' with Hope Pro 2 hubs and branch breaking spokes
Location: Blue Mountains NSW
Item Condition: Reasonably good - a few dents, but still hold air and seemed to run true
Reason for selling: Have no suitable 26' bikes left :(
Price and price conditions: $120 + postage...
:-) Bonsoy - toffs milk lol
Anyone with any idea where to get spacers - 160mm a bit too much -Bike rated to 150mm
I have an email notification with Suntour US but not sure what they'll hit me for postage when they come back in stock
Ok, after more research and re-reading this thread I just pulled the pin on the durolux RC2
So make mine a soy flat white thanks Zaf. Will you also provide cake :p
And the spacers as they are sold out and want to run it at 140mm travel
Slight disappointment - put in the FALL2020 and defaulted...
I hear ya - and don't disagree
But looking at it more closely, I think it's a little too much fork for what I want it for (never thought I would say that)
And it really is above budget when I think about what I wanted to stick to originally
Bloody good feedback that certainly got me thinking...
None
But I have the frame and wheelset looking at me and screaming ride me
So I get all impatient and keen to get the parts to put it together
Boost 29 is a little more difficult to get
But this is the direction I'm starting to think - even a Fox 34 may do
In fact, this was my original option...
Unfortunately, at this point in time I can't recommend the Durolux 29 R2C2 as a viable option for riders looking to upgrade their current suspension. Its performance simply doesn't measure up to the other contenders currently on the market that weigh less and offer quieter, more consistent...
Budget has grudgingly expanded
I didn’t want to spend more than $600
But seems to have grown to $750
This fork won’t have a hard life, but I do like 35mm or 34 stanchion at least. And all black of course
So gold or durolux?
If I don’t find anything 2nd hand I’m leaning towards gold as I have...
Thanks, Nathan - much appreciated
Alarm bells sounded when I saw your troubles with these in the link Moorey sent
I'm glad I asked - I was a bees dick away from ordering them but thought I would run it by the brains trust
Nothing shits me more than rattles and noises - I'd even give up a bit of...
Thanks to the very helpful bargain buys thread I came across these
https://www.srsuntour.us/collections/forks/products/aion35-evo-boost-lo-r-pcs-15qlc-29?variant=32170285989982
They seem a bargain and most peeps seem to rate the higher end Suntour forks
But before I go splashing my money around...
Fizik Gobi k:ium- bit of wear on both sides. Stitching intact. Ruler shows flatness. Make an offer and I'll most likely take it. If not, doesn't matter :-)
Got some Flow Ex with Hope Pro 2 evo hubs (in blue!)
Believe they can be converted to whatever you need - can't remember what they are now
Been ridden by a klutz, but seem in reasonable nick for an older set of wheels
Ordered from CRC ages ago and ordered all the good upgrades with them
Just...
