6/15/2026 8:22am You do know codes existed way before guides right? The current stealth ones are the 4th generation, with the first two being under the avid name. Most dh people were running the second generation with the silver lever that was based on the elixers, instead of guides before the RSC came out.

5/7/2026 9:39pm I sliced an albert gravity at the tail end of last season after only 5 or so rides on it and haven’t sliced a dh casing tire in probably 10 years. The conti dh tire I took off had threads starting to expose on the sidewall and made it 1.5 seasons without a slice. So I’d say the schwable radials...

Question for Fazua: can you give us any more info on your future plans that would increase confidence in current Ride60 owners? I recently picked up a Heckler SL with a Ride60 motor. I love the ride quality of the motor and the lower weight of the package because I enjoy pedaling to the top, I just want some extra support to do longer rides. The Ride60 supplies totally adequate power, so I don't understand why people would want or need a full-power ebike. Can currently happily get 3-4,000 feet of climbing in out of a 3 hour ride. I...

For more than a decade MTB forks have had very little space in the lowers for lubrication. Like 10-15cc of volume. If you add more than that then the fork becomes very progressive at the end of it's travel. Since the lauch of Buttercups most riders have complained that those forks are very very progressive at the end of their travel. Well the Buttercups sit in the same tiny space that the lower leg lubricant goes. I would expect that the new extra volume add-on on these pro forks is to make up for the loss of volume from the...

9/29/2025 7:33am A filter of some sort would easily solve the oil coming out and dust/ debris coming in. Seems like a much easier engineering project to tackle than getting the main air chamber connected through the lowers. I’m not saying it’s for sure a vent, but in terms of practicality it seems like a more easily mass manufactured solution.

9/28/2025 8:28pm It would be a pretty good feat of engineering to get that attached to the air spring while still allowing for full travel and easy servicing. All for the name of what, 1 cubic inch of air volume? The secus is a good bit larger than that. I’d bet my 2 cents on it being some sort of essentially atmospheric...

5/16/2025 9:27pm In theory you can’t take the belt off without it being broken or taking the pivot apart. I ran a zerode with a belt a few years ago and had the belt break twice, both on the first ride after flying with the bike with the shock taken off to fit in a bike bag/ get it under weight limits...

8/30/2024 11:20am Shimano started distributing the motoroex bike line of fluids semi recently so my money is on them testing motorex mineral oil, the color looks to match also.

10/24/2022 2:12pm I have a kenevo sl, so a slightly different bike but with the same motor. With a range extender the other day I did a 26 mile ride with 5200 feet of vert, and got back to the car with roughly 50 percent battery left, The range extender adds 50%, so I basically killed the entire main battery of the...

6/30/2022 7:51am I’m more interested in what’s going on with that custom linkage. Looks like they made a new front shock mount that bolts to the bottle cage, allowing them to run the shock with the reservoir on the bottom for some reason.

6/12/2022 1:28pm Coolest part about this is it presumably will have the performance of a float x, but seems to get lsc and rebound while the cheap float x gets a lockout and rebound. With modern bikes I’d much rather have low speed compression than a lockout, especially the lockout on the float x that makes it so stiff its really only...

4/30/2020 2:00pm Unfortunately I no longer own the bike and I have moved most of the way across the US at this point so there not much to be done and I don’t know who owns that bike at this point. Good to know things have changed and I’m glad that my experience was some kind of anomaly, new bikes are looking...

4/30/2020 1:38pm Have you guys changed your carbon layup since 2016? I had a 2016 patrol and went through 3 chainstays in one summer, got a warranty on the first two and then stopped getting responses, had to have the shop order me one which meant paying for it, bike was fun but I had to sell it due to being the...
