thejake Added a reply to The Risk of Riding Mountain Bikes
11/26/2024 5:36pm Mountain biking has grown in popularity, dirt and rocks are hard, young men don’t have great risk assessment abilities combined with that with the crazy dopamine hit you get when things go right will mean there will be more worse consequences sometimes.
thejake Added a reply to Anybody buying these enDHuro sub-200 dual crown builds? Are they valid or cheap fan service?
10/11/2024 5:35pm My Evil Insurgent is set up with a dual crown. Was my primary ride for a long time. I’m a bigger dude (240 lbs geared up) and there were two main benefits. First the direct mount stem is just more confidence inspiring. Second you get more travel with out slackening your bike way out. The fork I have is an...

The price for the complete bikes seems pretty competitive. Seeing this thing being prototyped the last several years I thought it was going to be a 10k plus bike.

All this virtue signaling is BS. Feel free to pay more to help yourself feel better but don’t for a second actually believe it has any benefit other than that.

The charger dampers are solid and we'll definitely be a significant improvement. I'm using a custom charger 2.1 which just has more compression than a standard, but the new 3 has more than old it's already a significant improvement for you. If you want to go all out, I'd suggest sending the fork off to a tuner and getting the bushing alignment done while plonking in a new damper, it's well worth it.

Get a charger or aftermarket damper with at least low speed compression adjustment, in addition to rebound. Sounds like the next step for your riding. It will be a very cost effective upgrade. It’s hard to overstate what a good fork damper can do for the bike.

I have had a zeb since release as I bought a zeb ultimate back in 2019 when they hit the market and got the first one my LBS got. That fork served me well over the years and saw many mods, vorsprung secus, then a smashpot, a hc97 push charger damper and ultimately a modified charger 2.1 (home brew shim stack nonsense). At any rate, getting to the point. That fork developed a CSU creak, and it was obvious to me I was better off buying a 23' MY zeb select and moving over the internals to that chassis. I...

Upgrading to a different damper is a great upgrade to the Zeb R, and will effectively turn it into an Ultimate or Select+ level-fork, with the potential exception of Buttercups if you care about that. Can't speak to the MRP damper, but I have an old Zeb RC damper from my Select+ fork that I'd be willing to sell for peanuts, and you can get a brand new Charger 3.0 damper from a 2024 Zeb Ultimate on the Pinkbike Buy/Sell for $250 right now: https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/list/?location=194-*-*&q=zeb%20damper&… I'm running a Charger 2.1 damper in my fork now and love it. If you're...

thejake Started a new thread Fork damper upgrade
6/26/2024 6:58pm I have a Rock Shox Zeb with the R damper (rebound is the only adjustment). It works pretty well but the bike blows thru mid stroke and into the end stroke pretty easily. Air pressure and tokens seems right, doesn’t bottom easily but g outs and other compressions feel no bueno. Any way seems like there is a variety of...

Stoked for Dak! Being a tall guy (190cm) I picked up some Deity Highline 80mm rise bars for my Bikepacking hardtail- for pure comforts- but turns out they rip on the bike when the bags are off! Love em.
