Look maybe you have a point but chatting shit about Dak on Vital is just such bad manners. We don’t do that here

Ran my G1 with a triple clamp last year, formula Nero. Definitely a lot stiffer up front, but felt like the fork worked more consistently through the bigger hits. No creekty csus either!! Downside was tyre clearance as it’s a pretty short fork axle to crown, so squeezing it on a 130mm headtube was very precise and too close for my liking. Fox40 and a boxxer gives a bit more room on the headtube, so will pick one up at some point.

Always have had a DH bike in the past, but haven't the last couple years. Rather than buy a full bike I just bought a Fox 40, and put a 180mm airshaft in it. Was a pretty simple choice in my eyes, got the fork cheap, and was easy to swap end caps on the hubs. So I just travel with one bike and 2 fork's...a Fox 30 170 for the pedally days, and the 40 for more shuttley , chairlift park days.

Climb Lord of the Squirrels one day, park laps the next.

Just got the new forks and a few other parts on, stoked to try this out on the weekend. 40’s have a 190mm air shaft in them Bar height has risen by 2cm, and that’s with replacing my 20mm rise bar with a 10mm rise, and running the forks as low as I can fit before the stanchions foul the bottom of my handlebars. Bb is probably a little higher but cascade link is arriving on Thursday so it’ll sag more, so who cares. With the cascade link it’ll be 190/190 I had a 180mm 38 on there beforehand. Got...

Im going to start a go fund me to get dave a direct mount stem.

I bought my dreadnought for exactly the same reason. Having not owned a downhill bike since 2017, I was curious to see if a dreadnought with a cascade link and a 190mm boxxer could achieve something similar. The answer is a resounding "yes". Sure, there will still be instances where there's no replacement for displacement but I think you'd have to be pushing extremely hard or sending it massive to find them. I was shocked at how much difference an extra 20mm up front made over a 170mm sc fork, the thing just eggs you on to charge a bit...

I've gone back and forth between owning a dedicated DH bike and long travel FR bikes over the years. I've netted out that I prefer just having a full DH bike in the quiver at all times; they just erase things in a way the shorter travel can't - especially over a multi-day bike park trip. However, when the Shore came out it seemed like it was the perfect solution for what I wanted, essentially a full DH bike with a pedal-able seat tube angle, so I picked one up and it's been awesome. I run mine with a 200mm...

Man, wish it went up to 170mm travel. The older 36 was stiff enough for 170mm, and this one claims to be 19% stiffer.

My responses are out of concern for a rider who spent what I consider to be a large amount of money with my company, and not being happy with the results. That's not acceptable to me. It doesn't matter where the customer bought our product; I only ask as it helps with context. In the case of my first post, the rider was trying someone else's fork, so there's no more than I could offer. In regard to the post that you linked...something about the original fork that Skunk Works received just seemed off, and we wanted a longer look...

I think Pedal Bob and sethimus need to hug it out.

You guys should take the arguing to PMs so you can effectively yell into the same echo chamber. In here, we should discuss upside down suspension stuff. You know, "Stranger things, season 4, forks and stuff"

securing the location may have to do with a rumored multinational conglomerate sponsor from the area founded in 1938.

Do they not get federation jerseys in Korea? Or is that only for countries with established racers? For that matter, what's stopping some random rider from Mozambique or Uzbekistan getting a national federation jersey to ride in a world cup?

S Korea should get national jerseys and as a home country they should get double the normal number, so some home grown racers should have the chance to complete if they choose.
