6/17/2024 2:22pm The dissector is a great rear tire for about 6 rides on anything loose over hard or desert-ish. The side knobs get rounded/underminded and the cornering lugs get ripped off pretty quick. I have run one as a front tire paired with a forekaster rear and it did well in that scenario. I personally think an aggressor or dc dhr2...

6/11/2024 10:51am Can we talk about how rad the sleeper collective video edits from the uci dh race weekends are? The last one from leogang really shows the feel/fun of the event and really makes me want to grab my bike and go out for a ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gP7YQEKkfA

6/11/2024 9:47am Btw, there is now a 27.5x2.4 dhr2 maxx terra dh casing sku now. My lbs was able to order it up for me so that's what will be on my bike park wheelset, paired with a DD MG assegai in front. Going to run vittoria enduro tire inserts with em on reserve AL HD wheels.

5/30/2024 9:11am I weigh 175lbs, but I'm 6'2" so I do end up with a lot of leverage on the bike. I run the enduro soft rear at 22-23 psi with a cushcore xc and I run the front enduro soft at about 20-21 (no xc insert). This is on a 32lb giant trance x advanced 29 (hot damn that's a mouthful)...

5/30/2024 7:51am I'm running enduro soft front/rear on my trail bike (135mm travel). I was previously running a trail casing, endurance compound krr in back with a cc xc insert. I ended up putting a pencil eraser sized hole between the treads on a trail ride in utah, not a surprise, that was an experiment to see how light of a casing...

5/29/2024 3:40pm Thanks for the responses everyone. As for this question, conti enduro casing seems to be more robust to me then exo/exo+, particularly at the sidewall reinforcing area. From my experience, WTB light seems to be on par with exo, where wtb tough is definitely burlier then exo+. The conti's in general seem to have similar casing stiffness under the tread...

5/29/2024 12:49pm If you've only ridden transmission around in a parking lot, it seems laggy. Once you're riding it on trail and adjust to the fact that you can just hammer away at shifts whenever you want... the lag factor goes away. I can agree that the complexity and cost is meh, arguably not worth it. If you've been riding a long...

5/29/2024 12:34pm Hey dudes... need some opinions on bike park tires. I've got a 22' nomad 6 (170/170 mullet) which is my park bike but I still pedal it a decent amount. It's a pig, 39lbs, coil suspension front/rear, aluminum wheels, blah blah blah. I digress... I need some tire opinions. I am headed up to whistler in july for a week...

I like my forum comments like I like my riding style. Fast, loose, awkward and over confident in my abilities.

4/24/2024 7:49am The answer is weight balance. If all other things are remaining un-changed, lowering or raising the front does just what you suggest. Lower stack, more weight on the nose, slightly steeper hta. Generally, the handling differences you're feeling when you do this are weight balance. It takes more or less, 10mm to equal .3 to .4 of a degree of...

I'd compare difficulty of installing fork bushings to that of machining and building an engine block. Sure the local dealer says they can do it. But I would only trust the factory that does it day in day out. It takes LOTS of special tools and gauges to do it right. Get the damper, service the fork. Don't worry about bushings.

ebruner Added a reply to 170mm 36 vs 38 fork: which would you prefer?
3/13/2024 7:55am The decision for me has more to do with the air springs and the air trapped in the lowers and associated ramp up effect. Are you able to use full travel easily on a 160mm 36, requiring the usage of volume reducers? I find that many light weight riders have a lot of issues getting a 36 setup properly for...

3/1/2024 8:31am My zeb 29 @170 with a smashpot (50lb spring) weighs 2900g. The push fork is not heavy for what it is imo.

2/28/2024 3:32pm I went down this road previously since I was in the same situation and had a nitrogen bottle in my garage at the time. The lack of information and the lack of the parties (RS and the bike MFG) willingness to share it meant that the shock went to S4 suspension for a tractiv tune.
