For? Which year? Which model? Why bike? What kind of riding? I have run the 2007 66RC2X and it was great for freeride, for DH, not great.

There were guys on DH bikes and guys on hardtails. I rode my Transition Double. It depends on what you plan to do. If you are looking to hit the big stuff and not spin or flip, bring a bigger bike, if you plan to spin or flip bring a short travel...slopestyle bike or a hardtail

You dont have to spend $6000 on a DH bike to get into racing and start having fun. While your Kona isnt the best race bike, it can be used as one. If you want to get serious about racing DH on a budget, look into a year old race bike or a complete bike from Specialized, Giant, Kona, or...

That is certainly a valid concern. While it will step over your $1000 price point, you can get a BoXXer Team for about $1200 and be a much better fork than the BoXXer Race. If you are racing go for the new BoXXer, freeriding or bike park riding, go Totem. I have a BoXXer WC and a Totem, they are...

If you are looking into a sub $1000 fork you are not looking at the best in production. The Totem has the exact same axle to crown and ride height as the Boxxer. If you are looking into those 3 forks, the Boxxer Race would be the lowest end by far, look into the Team if you can. The 40...

If I have it back in my hands I will bring it along. I have a coil and an air kit for it, thinking of trying the air. My Boxxer WC feels great!

I love trail riding, mine is a bit on the longer travel side, but getting out and pedalling is where its at! There is nothing quite like flowing trail and earning your descent

Get a wide bar and cut them down to size, but cut them a bit at a time till you have the width you like. I am a big fan of the Deity dirty 30, low rise and wide. Shimano is coming out with some Atherton and Vanderham bars soon too with a variety of widths and rises. Rise is...

Totems are amazing forks. I will be back on one next year. Spending a bit of time and money to get them tuned will only make them better. Lets not turn this into pinkbike and start claiming products suck with simple one-liners. Your personal issues with your Totem are likely valid, but there are tons of satisfied Totem owners, me...

multiply your number times 2. Just lay your two chains next to one another and cut them to match lengths. Your current chain is 111 links.
