Thanks for all the bananas
This one looks good -
I seriously believe we were heading for 157mm in 2021 but this shit-show of undersupply and overpricing has bought us time.Even for hardtails?
Everything is there on YouTube, specific to your exact fork, it doesn't get any easier.Great advice thanks!
The Deathgrips also crack quite easily, we have went through quite a few sets that were only held together by the rubber. They are a non preferred product in our house now.Bought replacement grips as my DMR Deathgrips got ripped and the grip itself twists under pressure.
One of the new Helix ones? I’ve heard nothing but good about those ones. I’ve got one on order from the Germans because I couldn’t stomach the price our Australian online stores wanted for them.Box containing nice E13 cassette and other 12sp goodies arrived, head out to to install them and get out for a ride and..
Fark. Pushys have sent me a replacement cluster instead of the cassette.
Yeah not impressed with the Deathgrips' durability. Hopefully Deity holds up better!Everything is there on YouTube, specific to your exact fork, it doesn't get any easier.

That's the one. Couldn't seem to find much real world info on them so took a punt, $365 with the pushys sale and was too good a deal to pass up.One of the new Helix ones?

Holy moly that’s a bargain! All my info came from various forums and like me many had the V1 version which sucked and have taken a punt on the new one and been pleasantly surprised. But damn that’s a good price.That's the one. Couldn't seem to find much real world info on them so took a punt, $365 with the pushys sale and was too good a deal to pass up.
@beeb lent me a pair of Deity supracush's to try out one ride a while back.Yeah not impressed with the Deathgrips' durability. Hopefully Deity holds up better!
Hopefully I don't tear these up too then!@beeb lent me a pair of Deity Supracush's to try out one ride a while back.
Binned it on said ride and tore up the rubber on one of the grips (if they were double lock-ons they would've been OK).
Bought them off Beeb as they are a great grip. Patched up the tears with some grey silastic I had kicking around home. Holding up well still.
Dont fall off thenHopefully I don't tear these up too then!
Good advice as always. Just imagine the money you'd save if your children listened to you!Dont fall off then
He sold you faulty grips! Demand warranty! Oh, wait a sec...@beeb lent me a pair of Deity supracush's to try out one ride a while back.

They are always going to push limits and have great skills to do so.Good advice as always. Just imagine the money you'd save if your children listened to you!
I have so much to look forward to!They are always going to push limits and have great skills to do so.
The biggest problem is not telling me they had a crash, even if they though it was insignificant and getting their bike checked over immediately.
I've told them a million times that if they have a crash and everything looks ok, flip the bike upside down and check out their gearing, its it out of whack GTF home immediately without changing into granny gear.
I find out last night that numb bollox had a decent crash on Lynton 4X about 3-4 days ago, his gears would not change into the easier 2 cogs and forgot to tell me
Resulted in a snapped in 2 derailleur at the first GESA round and a DNF. He's got a job now, I dont pay for stupidity anymore, he'll buy his own replacement.
Same with bikes making noises, if it creaking, clicking, rubbing... anything new that it wasnt doing before, tell me and we'll check it out.
I suspect Ozzy is like me. Learned pre-kids, practiced daily post-kids.I have so much to look forward to!
PS. Did you learn bike maintenance yourself? You seem to do an awful lot of it!
Haha, it was my unfit lazy-arse position on the bike that was faultyHe sold you faulty grips! Demand warranty! Oh, wait a sec...
I guess it's the best way!I suspect Ozzy is like me. Learned pre-kids, practiced daily post-kids.
They can allfinishstart by hitting the problem with a big hammer haha
