DServy Added a reply to Thoughts on the current generation of forks
10/15/2024 6:50pm As someone who has some home burnishing equipment at his house (started a couple years ago), it's been pretty nice to have and there seems to be some benefit. However, it does seem that the fork performance tends to "degrade" quicker in between services. I find myself needing to really adhere to the service intervals. Fun fact about my experience...

DServy Added a reply to Thoughts on the current generation of forks
10/14/2024 8:38pm This is pretty interesting to me because I moved to a more "damper forward" due to the time I spent in Whistler/Sea to Sky this summer (I was up there for a while). I found that relying on the damper just tracked the ground way better and prevented the natural "lack of support" hammock that crops up with air springs...
DServy Started a new thread Thoughts on the current generation of forks
10/14/2024 11:31am As some of our riding seasons ramp down, I wanted to spend some time getting some feedback on what people's experiences with the newest generation of forks (and fork dampers). It seems to me that the latest set of dampers (charger 3.1 and Grip X families) have emphasized actual usable HSC, and there seems to be a shift from using...

Small tip for people using the Maven bleed kit. It's pretty much impossible to get the air completely out of the syringe hoses before installing them on the brakes, because after pushing the last of the air out, the seal causes the piston to retract slightly and pull a bubble of air back in. Just make sure you always start your bleed by pulling the syringe plunger slightly before pushing it to migrate this bubble out the hose and into the syringe reservoir, to avoid shooting this air bubble into your brakes and making your bleed more difficult than it...

Rumour of my demise have been exaggerated. We are safe. But we are forever changed. A water & wind event of near biblical proportions hit us & has taken far more lives than can be counted. Didn't know where to make my one post, but this will be it for a long time. No politician, no plan, no design could have stopped anything that happened here. A stream I could step across took the first home at the top of it. A friend lost 10 members of his family saving his wife and kids watching his parents & relatives swept...

10/2/2024 7:26pm To mark the official arrival of Crab Link as a thing. I did a thing you can install on your chrome based browser (basically completely 100% stolen from the cloud to butt plugin) I present Horst Link to Crab Link Chrome based plugin! https://github.com/DServy/horst-to-crab See it in action here! Edit: Please, no one actually use this.

DServy Added a reply to Bike travel bag for mtb 29in tubless
10/2/2024 11:22am I've flown a lot with the previous EVOC pro bag (I think its now the standard bag) and have never had to take the tires off. Even had it work fine with cushcore and 2.5 WT maxxis. I make sure to put the front wheel in before the frame and the rear wheel on the side that zipps up.

10/1/2024 12:25pm Sir, this is a wendy's.... But in all seriousness for MI and Specialized is that someone buys the IP from them and then can recoup some of their development costs. The idea there being enough consumers who want suspension data AND are willing to put up with Specialize's BS is a pretty slim market. I'm still super hopeful MI still...

9/16/2024 6:12pm My plan is to wait it out to we hear from them on what they are planning on doing. Best case is that someone else swoops in and buys the IP and product and plans to make it commercial. I got the sense from the email that they are looking at options to bring MI2 to market in some capacity...

9/16/2024 10:17am Yeah, its a massive bummer since system two seems like it would be the easiest to use. I have a v1 and its okay, but was really looking forward to what v2 brought to the table.

9/16/2024 9:41am Massive bummer for those of us with a MI2 on order: From Motion Insturments Hello, We have some unfortunate news to share with you. In 2021, there was a change of control event with Motion Instruments. At the time, this was a game changer for us and gave us the capital needed to accelerate development of a new system built...

9/9/2024 3:09pm I mean, F1 has made up plenty of rules on the fly... Like every stewarding decision ever and who could forget Abu Dhabi 2021. So I'd say they are on par with F1 in that respect.

8/30/2024 8:59pm Fernie should be for sure on your list as well. It's just a fantastic little town with some of the best riding I've ever done. Revelstoke and Nelson also have some amazing riding. The best thing about BC is that every place seems to have their own style. I've biked a lot of places in BC and all of them...

8/28/2024 5:41am So, for what its anecdotally worth, the overnight bleed cup has fixed wandering bite points on multiple sets of shimanos that have rolled through my garage, and provided actual consistent magura bleeds after wiggling the caliper around a bit. I've done it on pretty much every mineral oil brake I've seen on a bike build, or owned (shimano, magura, TRP...

8/27/2024 3:46pm I'd give the overnight lever bleed a try then. Couldn't hurt.
