11/10/2024 2:42am https://www.rflo-xa.com/collections/front-forks/products/rfloxa-hawk31p… Came across this on youtube. Made for Surrons but compatible with DH bikes. Price seems nice for the features it provides. I'd love to try a 228mm USD DH fork. Weight is probably over 4kg but whatever. Not quite sure what they mean by center distance as it seems way longer than fork height. Only problem I see is...

Fred_Pop Added a reply to 2.3mm rotors on Shimano brakes?
10/18/2024 2:32pm I am currently running 2.3mm rotors with Shimano brakes. They work great. Less lever throw and less overheating. I have also run 3mm rotors but I needed to file the calipers a tad to make it fit and running 2 brand new pads would not give enough room.

I can't believe this jaded, whiny article was actually published in Dirt? But then again Dirt was only good for the photos, the content was subpar compared to most magazines at the time. Also failed to hear any Led Zeppelin, only heard Metallica in that video...

10/10/2024 4:07am Upside down forks are much stiffer front to back eg under braking and are slightly less stiff laterally. They are used by most high end motorcycles for a reason! You should go listen to the latest PUSH interview about why lateral stiffness is overrated.

8/17/2024 6:00am Let's hope they go backwards to when their gambler was solid. The current frame breaks more often than a Commencal cracks!

7/5/2024 10:27pm I take it the disadvantage of abs is you can no longer do nose manuals and thus no longer do nose turns.

6/7/2024 4:38am I have but I want the insert near the rim to protect the rim and tannus is the other way around.

6/1/2024 11:43am Tube over the cushcore. You'll need longer valves or a valve extender and you'll need to make a hole through the cushcore for said valve.

5/30/2024 1:09pm Yeah, tried running those super light plastic tubes but ended up tearing off the valves so went back to regular tubes. I do run smaller ones because the cushcore takes up half the tyre anyways. Not a fan of tubeless because of a) the mess b) burping

5/30/2024 7:12am Ok here are my thoughts on MTB tyres: My setup is singleply tyres with cushcore and tube. It's a tad lighter than my previous setup which was DH tyres and tubes. I'm able to run lower pressures for maximum grip without flatting or destroying rims. I used to replace rear rims once a year. For the bikepark I just increase...
