    Anyone else had issues with Jamis build quality? Help please.

    If a replacement does not work out send your broken swingarm to Gripsport and they will repair and likely add a gusset of somesort to strengthen the original design.

So yes you can run your new forks you just need a new headset to make them "compatible" to the original 1.5 sizing the...

    hitting rocks with pedals

    I had the same issue on my GT then when i got my giant i never had the issue again, it was because the BB was much lower to the ground, it was damn annoying as my local trails are pretty rough as guts and i was bashing pedals quite a bit due to "just having to pedal" the frame was an avalanche...

    I have a 9 speed shadow and find the arm pivot to have more than the usual play in it than usual, have heard of others complaining about it's sloppiness also.

    XC wheel sets

    I have the same bike and wheels, unless your frequently racing or have cash just to burn i think your bonkers to replace them. Probably changing the deore cassette to XT would be the best and cheapest weightsaver for the wheelset.

    Hennessey Cup 4hr Enduro

    See it don't have to be "one or the other" shuttles should run off the speedo say 60km max speed then there is no 70km around corners and less damage to equipment and it takes out the factor or affecting lap numbers since all shuttles would have to follow the speed rule which would calibrate the...

    Ay Ups! vs Magpie

    There are no maggies where i ride but i've often wondered what a couple of thin strips of reflective alfoil neatly taped to the top of the helmet would do in regards to warding the little buggers off? Ps: Good luck with your experiment ;)

    loud shaking

    loud shaking

    I bought a set of the same brakes about 3 days ago. How come you went the 8inch rotors? i prob would of went for the 6 if it were for my hardtail. To answer your problem i think it sounds like an alignment issue, have you tried loosening the mount bolts and pulling the lever tight whilst...
