Yeah, they call it Bronson.

Feels like we're winning this battle, team. Nice work complaining enough to move the needle.

Yeah I would love to service my calipers but the space and tools and time are just not there. I can't really afford to screw up, either. I cracked a piston just trying to push it back into the caliper and that was a whole ordeal. Also, off-hand mention of air compressors as though every rider has one... another thing I am sad to not own but would have nowhere to store. I don't have a bench mount vise or even a bench. Myself and others would love to work on all of the parts on our bikes but its...

what kind of oil are you using in the lowers? I've found WPL 20wt and super thick oils like supergliss 100k and fox 20wt can leak a lot easier than thinner oils

Yeah, those weep oil and will not stop. I left them on for 6 months just dealing with it expecting it to stop at some point... it did not and I just replaced them. Oddly, I had previously used these with good results with no issues... only the sets I bought in the last 1.5 years did this.

You're not using push low friction dust wipers are you? I had 2 sets for a 36 and 1 set for a zeb (38) that would weep oil both during rides, and also during storage (bikes are hung vertically on steady racks). I swapped to dual compound skf seals and have not had the problem since.

Yeah I'm leaning towards an air leak in to the lowers, there shouldn't be that much oil coming out. You shouldn't hear any air coming out of the bleeder if you had already pushed it at the start of the day

Try to burp air from the lowers.

I'm old (53) and I remember when I was a kid radial car tires were newish and bias ply tires were still common and I asked some older dude what the difference was and he said, 'the radial tires ride a lot better, the bias ply tires bounce a lot'. This checks out!

I find transition almost always chooses very soft compression tunes, and always found the same feedback too. I recently tuned a rockshox for a V2 sentinel and settled on the C34 tune which is 2 steps up. The other thing with the RS shocks is the main piston has a large effect at low speed but less change to the high speed rate, while the low speed adjuster works at relatively high speeds. So if you want to retain grip but have more support and big hit control I would suggest going no higher than the C34 and wind the...

Last page or two is boooring 😏 Wasn't there a dedicated topic for chainstay lengths etc? Here you go: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/modern-geo-talk-chainstays-stack-re…
