    What has happened to the Used market?

    Been out of the game for around 10 years. Trying to find a cheap used bike seems almost impossible. Even the for sale section here is empty. where’s all the old Norco Atomik/A Line. Big Hit with 24” rear? are people just holding onto bikes longer, I am confused.

    Sillicon Spray

    Is it safe to spray sillicon spray on the stauntions(sp) of your forks to lubricate the seals? A mate told me this but Im a bit hesitant because I know some types of rubber can swell up from certain chemicals.

    Avid Code 5's Shuddering...PROBLEM SOLVED

    So I built up my racelink last week. Took it out for a ride today and after about an hour, the rear brake started to make a funny noise, and started to shudder. The vibration is that bad that it travels along the floating brake arm and then through the seat which tickles my butthole. When I...
