Yup I agree - I had a Float X2 last week that came back after 14 months, it was a bit dry in the dust wiper and maybe some air in the damper but overall pretty OK - turned out it had done around 350 hours..... I think RS stuff probably holds up better than fox in most cases as well As for torque wrench thigns, an adapter like this is a handy way to convert any spanner for a torque wrench https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0380

7/22/2026 11:49pm Thanks for the answers guys. Rockshox puts a lot of pressure on being specific with torque (17Nm) for the crowfoot - I won't be able to do it with Knipex for sure. Do i need to invest in crowfoot + specific size tool? Do you really have to swap seals every 100h? For superdeluxe 200h was enough...

7/21/2026 3:07am Rockshox suggests servicing shock every 100h - I did it at the lbs and they told me to do it more often (50-75hrs) since based on their experience if you make it every 100h it's not enough. The idea of bringing it for X days to lbs every 50hrs does not make sense to me. I used to do 50h...

4/29/2026 6:36am It's not about the rotor's thickness but pad's thickness. I have HS2 (2mm) in front and xt (1,8mm) in the rear, both have identical throw with xt brakes. I wonder if I can fit 2,3mm though - then maybe at the very beginning of the pads throw would be reduced.

11/10/2025 10:12am Ah, another season and another leaking xt lever to my collection. They are cheap af but it's a bit dissapointing - the collection is already quite impressive. Did you try to swap the piston to some aftermarket ones from aliexpress?

HT PA03A are great pedals with good durability. I have several pairs and they last a long time. 85kg's and very much like to shred.

Ignore any post above that mentions sewing: for cut that does not touch the casing, there is ZERO reason to perforate the inside layer of rubber keeping that tire inflated. Just buy a tube of urethane sealant like Seam Grip for $8, clean the slash, and seal it w/ overlap of 3mm+ on each side. A quality urethane sealant is far more durable than Shoe Goo, and repairs I've made this way typically outlast the tread life of the tire. If you re-seal the tube of Seam Grip well in airtight container (e.g. 2x ziplocs) and store cool, it will...

For sure, but if someone needs it (you down the line maybe?) this is a possible solution. And putting a patch over it.

2/27/2024 4:40am Since it's not leaking air etc I'm not going to sew it, just ride as long as it lasts

2/27/2024 12:07am It's a tubeless setup with rimpact insert inside, ridden hard in giant reign. Thanks for your inputs, I will probably still ride it with a spare in my trunk!

2/26/2024 2:17am I just noticed a slash on my dhr dd after only few hours of riding it. Cord / butyl insert does not seem to be touched, it's so shallow I belive it's just a rubber that was affected. Would you still ride it though? What are your experiences with damages like these?
