Fox shock rebuild question

Hello everyone! Just a quick question, Ive noticed my rear shock is leaking a bit of air and for reference its an rp23s. How hard is it to service myself? Im assuming its just seals and fluid but is there any difference in servicing an rp23 and an rp23s?

Also where is the best place to get the seals and oil from? I really don't want to send the shock to fox for $250!!!!! Absolute madness..

Cheers,

Jono.

Back wheel question

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

HI all

I noticed my back wheel has a bit of a wobble in it, then a couple of days later a spoke has come loose, or at least thats the order I think it happened in. Coincidence?

What should I do, new wheel or should it be fixable?

How do I know if the wheel is buckled, I've taken off the wheel, tire and tube, and when i spin the rim it has a little wobble in it.. Rim is a bontrager x lite..

also, any opinions on these guys?

Thanks all!

Warranty experience with the big S

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Let me share my recent warranty experience with the big red S.

So in December I noticed a mark on my frame around the bottom bracket area that looks rather suspicious, it looks like a deep scratch so I took it to the shop where I got it from to have it looked at. At the same time I sprained my ankle during a ride and I was told to rest it for 6 weeks. The mechanic was certain that the mark was indeed a small crack on the frame, and that he was going to take some pictures and show it to the big S.

Specs for bikes

Gday

I am wondering if there's an online resource for the exact specs for bikes?

I have a Giant 29er Talon and I love the bike except the fork is rubbish. I just ride easy xc stuff etc so I don't need a beefy fork, but shopping online is hard when you are unsure of the type of steerer and headset set up required to upgrade the fork. I would prefer to do it myself as I find that as much fun as riding, if not more.... ☺

Any help would be great.
Thanks

Chain Guide or Bash Guard

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I converted my AM bike into 1x10, put a narrow wide chain ring,install a type 2 derailleur then shorten the chain. Riding on a rocky section, i often suffer a chain drop and ended up placing it back and ruining the momentum. Mostly riding in KC during the weekend.

What you guys suggest, chain guide or bash guard?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Schwalbe Procore?

anyone managed to score a set of these and test them out?

stock seems hard to come by at present.

I'm thinking these offer will offer all the advantages of tubeless without the risk of burping.
