https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/service-manuals/ro… The new Zeb air piston is a spit for Vorsprung's Luftkappe. New pistons for the Lyrik and Pike too. Edit, nope just realised the air shaft is threaded internally on these vs externally on the previous/current gen air springs -Looks like the buttercups are a similar size to the C1 footnut so highly likely they'll be retrofittable to C1 air springs-

Thanks for including suspension settings for all testers. This is a useful data point for those setting up these bikes after buying them.

7/27/2021 10:48am Right? 3 races in one week with 350+ people within 4 hours of each other and I've seen nothing on PB about the Canadian races, but every other country's champs and race reports is kind of bullshit. That being said, I was there and it was awesome to watch. Miranda vs Casey vs Vera and how stoked they all were at the bottom, some drama with Mark Wallace needing a re-run while Finn sat at the bottom for what seemed like forever, Rheeder being an absolute pinner with the best style, and watching Groms and Jr's nearing landing on each...

7/27/2021 10:48am Nice work Vital. I'm glad at least one MTB website is interested in covering the Canadian DH scene.

D(C) Added a reply to Will Lack of MTB Products Make You Ride More Cautiously?
5/5/2021 11:13am I don’t think it will change the way I ride, but it will change the way I maintain my bike. For example, my DUB bb bearing seized yesterday and new ones are locally in short supply. I managed to service the bearing to get it spinning again and will work on sourcing a new bb. But while in the past...

Been riding nothing but the Specialized 2FO clip lite since 2013. In fact, when my 1st pair bit the dust I bought 2 replacement pairs just in case they discontinue the shoe.

@TEAMROBOT - check out p. 12 and 13 of the Zeb service manual. Charger 2.1 has a bladder, Charger RC and R use a spring-backed IFP. https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/service-manuals/ro… Edit: @Allen_Gleckner - looks like you posted the same link before I reloaded the page.

With prices on these creeping up to Maxxis territory, it will be hard not to compare their performance against the best. Specialized tires used to be a good budget product, but those days are behind us. Of course, with the anticipated supply issues, Specialized can sell tires based on availability rather than price.

4/6/2021 8:07am Maybe you’ve seen this, but this has some good info on long term durability of the two group sets: https://bikepacking.com/gear/sram-eagle-review/

4/5/2021 9:25pm I had an X01 Eagle derailleur last me 2 years without issue. In contrast, I went through a GX Eagle derailleur in 6 months before it developed play and lost shift quality. The X01 Eagle chain also last far longer than GX. The GX Eagle cassette, cranks and shifter seemed solid to me. What issues were you having with those?

2/9/2021 8:42am Yeah, I know a few people (myself included) who have torn EXO+ DHR II, and there are reports of EXO holding up better than EXO+ due to using 60 TPI instead of 120 tpi. Going back to Michelin, I think they nailed the casing on the Wild Enduro Rear for all-round riding - I ran it all last summer and...

2/8/2021 9:20pm A couple points on Maxxis: - There are lighter MaxxGrip options available now: Assegai EXO+, DHF EXO, DHR II EXO - Maxxis DD and DH tires are folding bead and a good 100-150 g lighter than the Michelins and others. They are similar in weight to heavy duty trail/enduro tires from other brands. - DD and DH Maxxis tires are...
