4/2/2025 7:02am I heard a rumor that this new ebike from Specialized can toggle between class 1 and class 3. If true, this blatant disregard for land and recreation managers from one of the United States' biggest sellers is pretty sh*tty.

4/2/2025 7:02am And yet entirely in keeping with the overall industry ethos. My biggest initial reservation on ebikes was around their potential implications for access. Rules vary a lot and in their quest for sales I can't recall any company providing any sort of guidance on potential "ethics". I recall one manufacturer taking a fleet of Ebikes on a dealer demo past a "no motors" sign in Whistler..... The implication that users will self police themselves is naive at best and disingenuous at worst...

4/1/2025 12:45pm Measured the o-ring at around 60mm travel with a little over 5mm left at the end. This shock was for a SB160, but aside from the unneeded hardware and slightly different compression tune nothing else seemed unique. Sold as 230x65, unless a travel reducer was installed without mention - which is possible And with that, last post on this until...

4/1/2025 12:09pm Good point on the travel reducer, I'll give that a check. I pulled out the factory installed volume spacer but didn't look for a travel reducer. This is the max the o-ring can hit: Hamncheez, the bike is an Ari La Sal that has the crab-link suspension. Its possible the c37 tune plus the progressive suspension is causing this but...

4/1/2025 6:59am The o-ring will never go past last few mm of stanchion on a Vivid air. The full stroke is still there though. You can verify by letting all the air out and removing the valve core. Same thing happens on forks, but on some of them there's a line showing what max travel is.

4/1/2025 6:58am Strange, my caliper shows 60.something mm where the o-ring is then 5.something mm on the other side of the o-ring to the stop, unweighted rear to measure. It is a 65mm stroke in the trailhead app, double checked in case maybe it was mislabeled. Coming up on service time so maybe I'll see something amiss when its apart. It does...

3/31/2025 4:47pm My Vivid has HBO but no matter the settings, nor how big the huck to flat that almost explode my ankles, the last 5mm is complete unobtainium. I wouldn't think its the HBO, but I can hit the same spot at 29% sag and 40% sag plus max to least compression set. HBO also set to max and min too...

3/30/2025 5:25pm 12 months is supposedly the cut off for using a previously opened bottle of dot fluid. Although I've used longer opened, but as long as the lever isn't spongy either after bleed or after a heavy brake incident to heat it up significantly then you are fine. Of course then you have to do another bleed with new fluid if...

3/27/2025 7:21am It looks like its slowly getting back online. I can finally access and see my suspension in the trailhead app.

3/26/2025 8:48am The holes increase airflow around the stanchion, aiding cooling and improving damping consistency by 11%. As a side note, 80% of statistics are made up on the spot.

3/21/2025 1:01pm i wouldn't hold my breath for the 36 to go longer travel than 160. they used to offer it up to 180, but that was before the 38 was launched. over the last few years fox seems to be trying to reduce the amount of overlap between their forks.

3/21/2025 9:19am I'm using A4 calipers with HardHeaded Ram sintered pads and TrickStuff Dachle HD front/HS2 rotor rear, only noisy when wet and great stopping power. See no need for the Hayes D rotors, except to just try them out maybe at some point.

3/16/2025 8:53am As someone solidly un the sub 5' 10" category of humans, 210 is a bit much, I tried one on my last bike and very few mediums have the insertion length for a 210 and have the ability for me to be able to sit on it at ride height. I tend to find a happy place between frame and body with a 180mm. However, we know every dropper post can at least be adjustable now and should be. So make them adjustable for 50mm each and... XS/Small should come with a 150 adjustable down to 100 Medium should come...
