Aston-A-Tron history and review

Your right, I wasn't going for hyperbole so sorry if people misinterpreted that as casting = bad. For the record I think the standard of engineering in forks and mountain bike products is extremely high these days and incredibly impressive. Its just not necessary for the companies to manufacture tolerance fits for bushing and stanchions to something insane like IT3 standard, the breakin of the fit solves the fitment in 90% of cases.

You can buy the dimpled bushings at industrial suppliers or bearing distributors. My guess is they aren't aren't beneficial as they aren't expensive enough that they wouldn't be on premium forks. I remember some SID forks had bushings with holes drilled through them. They were worse than plain bushings, the dimples might retain dirt at service. Here's a spiral oil-grooved bushing, perhaps this is what CP was referring to. I've never seen these with a thin enough section to work in forks. I'm pretty sure that the increase in friction between services at the bushing surfaces is miniscule compared with...

Dimpled bushes to help hold lubricant are pretty common, radial channels might also work.

based on this...you didn't really read the whole thing did you

Seeing an ad (real or no) using a scratched up old 08 bighit with a dropper as the advertisement image was not on the list of things I expected to see today.

I dont know what is worst, Trisqueto's retardation and solipism or this kind of passive agressive, ill intented, communist informant post. If you have a feud a least be open about it, even better, go and tell the person in his/her face, but to write a post hoping that "someone" has a bad day is madness really.

I would have to agree on a physiological basis. DH Mountain biking is performed mostly in the sagittal plane of motion, with some frontal plane motion as well. It's a fairly straight forward sport movement-wise. Example: You don't need to be a top level yogi master in order to be a DH racer like rock climbers have to be for example. This might be why I don't see many average riders stretching before they ride. As you old PT saying goes: "If you don't USE it....you LOOSE it." Meaning, if you don't work on mobility stuff, you will loose it...

Making fun of anyone's accent is juvenile and pathetic. Do better.
