Remy is on Vorsprung suspension. He will pretty much be the R&D rider behind developing a Vorsprung fork. Awesome stuff I reckon'. Also that rig is a absolute stunner.

With their new Vecta shock, EXT shows that you can cut costs without cutting performance. We've really enjoyed our time testing it! Here's the review if you want to read more: https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/rear-shocks/ext/vecta-69776#prod….

Why would EXT let people butcher their products at home. Very few people can even set up suspension correctly let alone have the tools and brains to maintenance these.

I got them off aliexpress. I don't like the luer lock interface, I think it can leak air under a vacuum, so I'd really prefer to use some pneumatic compression fittings to make it work properly. I just can't seem to figure out what the thread on the syringe is. That and the thread is straight into plastic and torquing the fitting down too much cracks the syringe. They are quite nice though, fairly thick which makes them resist leaking fairly well as opposed to waker and thinner syringes, like original Rock Shox ones (used for suspension servicing). Those leak...

Speaking of syringes, this $4.50 turkey flavoring grocery store special has similar hardware/interface to the $100+ SRAM kits, gladly accepting their attachments, as pictured. No idea if it actually works for a bleeding job or if one could pull any useful vacuum with it.

I can see that that argument with Laurie, but Remy consistently puts out some of the most stylish edits on some of the most beautifully crafted jump trails in existence.

Surprisingly enough you are supposed to read the manual to find out torque specs not just guess based on what type of head is on the fastener.

this is canadian pesos, so probably $20USD lol

Holy fuck $110 for two syringes and few pieces of plastic?

Hi, long time WC media guy here (14 years long).. I'm also very curious to hear some names and facts about this from you But in the meantime let me share some of my own. Each team is allowed to register photographers and videographers (each team then receives a set number of photo and video bibs for the season). if someone doesnt work for a team they can register as independent media once they have letters of assignment from a verified media outlet. there are little to no restrictions as to what can be shot/posted. This hasnt changed since the...

Remy Métailler on Rockshox

Looks like Fox/Shimano, a bit of a departure for Mr Sram Hill.

Hill to Frameworks

There are stems that have a 3 mm Allen for the handlebar and a 5 mm Allen for the steerer. There are still bikes that have a 5 mm Allen for the rear axle and a 6 mm for the front axle (though for that one I cannot fathom why we ditched QR through axles, so much so I had an UDH compatible Maxle made). It's not a problem jumping between torx and Allen, it's about jumping between different sizes primarily. I never know if the pad pin on sram brakes is 3 mm or 2,5 mm (it's 2,5 mm)...

I've never stripped the threads from a Magura master, but I just serviced some Magura brakes which were handed to me off the bike. Replaced the lever blades, cleaned and exercised the pistons, installed new pads, bled the system. Some might say it was the best feeling in the world... Unfortunately, after all that upon reinstalling it turns out the plastic threads in the lever clamp were already stripped so the master cylinder went in the trash. Yay! The fact that they use a deep Torx head on the screws perplexes me, Torx signals "I can take high torque, have...
