@russthedog - I see you have Onyx's new Vesper hubs on the website, but wondered is it possible to get Classic or single-speed hubs ordered if desired? I might be chasing a new rear hub soon(ish).

for sure - just shoot us an email at sales@offroadbikesonline.com.au and we will go from there.

Second that!

A bit slow on the uptake... I'll also have a look above.

Will you be offering the full colour options for Onyx hubs?

Yes in time, but dependent on interest.

A couple of recent stories that should be of interest:

There was a brief mention of this in another thread, are Formula releasing 33 forks in Boost?

not that we are aware of - the Selva is Formulas boost fork and can be lowered to 120mm easily with what comes in the box. Looks like an announcement of shocks is coming pretty soon....

That's a shame. I don't need a bigger/burlier fork, just a more sensitive one

Careful getting a more sensitive fork - it will want to sit you down in the middle of a ride and discuss how you feel - then just cry

 

[Ultra Lord]

Have you thought about a custom tune?

I'm not! (Unless I am forced to)

I've got a brand new 33 sitting in the shed.

From what I hear, formula's market focus is gravity.
They've been prototyping a new xc fork for a while but it may never make it to market.

 

[Cardy George]

Yes, but, no, but.

I liked the idea of the CTS system, one set for the flatness home, one tune for the up and down of almost anywhere away from here

If youve tried the Formula forks, I think the Selva is sensitive enough - and with CTS you can make it super soft. Its the most sensitive fork Ive ridden (I havent ridden all forks mind you), so Im running a pretty firm CTS cart. The only issue with the Selva would be the weight I imagine - its not XC race light.

That is exactly the issue! Otherwise there'd be one mounted right now!

Take the dropper off to save weight?

Atleast I think I'm funny
