did a bit of research and found another guy has had this fault twice in 4 weeks both times warranted but you have the 2 week turn around on your fork
anyone else had any problems with this fork also can't find any info on set up for the rebound and compression
Fox suspension oil selection
Hi guys, I am after a bit of advice.
I need to replace the seals and dust wipers on my 2008 fox talas 32 forks, I called my LBS which have a seal kit to fit, however it is only compatible with the new fox 20wt gold oil. Fox says this oil should never be used with open bath damped forks (which mine are), however the mechanic says his forks are open bath and he runs this oil.
Can anyone weigh in on their opinion/experience, do i order in the older seal kits and use 10wt oil or put in the new seal kit and 20wt oil and ignore fox.
Cheers for the help
Tubeless tyre issue
Have recently put a pair of Conti Race Kings (protection model) on the Niner, on 3 year old set of Stans rims. Beaded up OK, but they struggle to hold air for varying periods. Can be fine for a couple of days and then go down overnight. Rear went from 28 psi to 20 psi on a 2 hr ride last outing. Had no problems previously with a mix of CrossMaxs (LUST) and a tubeless ready Kratos. Sealant was the end of a 18 month old bottle. Rims cleaned prior to fitting and tape seemed in OK nick.
Any suggestions?
Bike Camping
Guys and girls
I am starting to set myself up for bike camping either with my girl, or a mate of mine, and also hiking.
Obviously we are going to start with simple over nighters and build up to 3-4 days if we can find the time. We live in East Ryde, so looking at the blue mountains as an easy option to start with
I already own some of the gear required:
Tent, Sleeping mat, sleeping bag, cooker/pots, warm gear, Epirb
I am looking at getting one of these for a Full Suspension 29er:

All mountain tyres
Guys about to get new tubeless tyres. They're for a 26-inch wheel if anyone remembers those! Any recommendations? I'm much more interested in grip rather than speed. Cheers.

Nukproof 15mm to QR converter
Hi Guys,
Just looking for a new wheelset for my older Trance with a Reba QR fork, and prefer the 15mm hub.
Anyone have experience with the 15mm adaptor ?
Cheers

Do you use your CTD?
Hi all,
Many of the FS bikes now come with CTD (climb, trail, descend) where you adjust a dial on your forks and shocks to adjust the suspension between hard, medium & soft. To make this useful you'd have to stop and also know the upcoming trail? So, if you are not a fan of stopping on your regular rides and/or like discovering new trails as you go it seems to me you'd just set it at trail and not really use the feature?
Anyone who has CTD can you advise whether you use it and how?
Thanks
Trance 2 - gold!
Having started mountain bike riding only 3 years ago, I have really enjoyed the fitness and recreational aspects of riding the trails. I started with a second hand 2008 Specialized Expert Stump jumper which I rode for a few years and I learnt the basics of riding, it was a great bike to start on. After talking to a few blokes I bump into at the dam, I was convinced to upgrade to something more up to date. After much research and discussion, I decided on the Giant Trance 2 27.5, I must say, its a magnificent bike.
