Fox knows that if you really want an USD fork you will deal with the hub issue one way or another. Can’t imagine an actual Fox USD fork customer saying “oh no nevermind I am obsessed with my current front hub and I am also too poor for a wheel build “

I’ve never found anything that does that as well as a MaxxGrip DH Casing Assegai running as little pressure as I can get away with. Haven’t tried any of the radial tires yet though.

Appears to be some sort of belted purse.

This has got to be the worst looking kit in existence. Who thought that accentuating Goldstone’s hips would look good? Got to be the exact same design as Tahnee’s been wearing

Maybe they forgot to lube them 🤷‍♂️

haven't confirmed but have heard of two belts broken in practice today. "too cold."

I can second that. Rather impressed with it.

Hope you have Brines’ Rali bike chain mag in the queue. Have it on two bikes and it works wonderfully

Hey I'm back (with Rocky). I might post a bit less here as I navigate current state of the bike industry; I've got a mountain of work to get through after being away from it all for 5 months. Thanks for the well wishes.

USD fork hype sending Fox to the moon 📈📈📈

Lol I cant wait for the comments of wealthy 200lb beginners say the USD Fox is not stiff enough for their riding when there is a 200lb pro racer taking golds on the fork.

I have the 10 speed MicroShift on my fat tire bike. I’ve tightened the clutch adjustment as much as I could, but still get way more chain slap than my Shimano group sets. As others have mentioned, it shifts well, but isn’t going to match offerings from Shimano or Stam for speed or smoothness.

both my boys had Advent 9-speed (not X) on riprock hardtails that they thrashed for 2 years with no regard for gentle or "proper" shifting technique, repetitive bike lay-downs on the driveside and no actual maintenance aside chain lube. one was on a 20" (no clutch) one was a 24" (clutch) and the cages were in the line of fire b/c of wheel size...the 20" cage practically dragged on the ground in low gear LOL. those drivetrains never flinched despite bent derailleur hangers and crappy alignment when i'd try to straighten the hanger.. very surprised at its durability.

My Son has the Advent X 10 speed on his MTB and it has been pretty reliable. Shifting under load can be a bit loud but it does happens. It is definitely not Shimano's hyperglide+ level of smooth but it is pretty good. The clutch is ok and not as good as Shimano or SRAM's offerings. They use a ratcheting clutch as opposed to roller bearing type so there can be a bit of free play. As a result, sometimes you get more chain slap and sometimes less depending on where the rachet is sitting relative to the 4 pawls...

First round of the ewsdr or whatever they are callling it this year next weekend and the course map has been released. Around 100km and 3100m of climbing over 2 days so looks like they are going back to bigger days out again.
