Fox to Pike??

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

My current trail bike is an Ibis Mojo HD 26. 160mm front and rear.

On the front is a Fox 34 talas 120-160, and most the time around Kalamunda I use the 120mm setting.
I've never been thrilled with the Fox, especially after replacing the rear with a cane creek, and after hearing good things about it, I've been thinking about putting a 160mm Pike on the front for a long time.

For the KC, what do you guys think about running 160mm the whole time (as the Pike isn't height adjustable)?

Hey,

I am new to the site, new to Perth in fact and have just decided to get back into some mountain biking after being out of it for a year or so. I have just put a Giant Talon 4 on lay away. Unfortunately these only come with some Santour XCT forks and I am hoping to get myself some new ones to put on when I pick up my bike in the next few weeks!

How and what do I need to remove bb71

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

After raceing at collie then cleaning my bike went to ride this morning to find the cranks very hard to turn over

After about 50 meters they were free again so I'm thinking mud or water has gotten in the bottom bracket

Bike is a Scott scale with a bb71

Wanting to learn and do myself what tools do I need to remove replace the bottom bracket and once out can you regrease or is it a through away item

Thanks

Problem with fork?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi there

I need some help. I recently had an issue where my dust wiper would pop up when I cycled the fork. To the fork to LBS and they sent it to SRAM to fix. They have apparently changed the air damper? Or something like that. Now I haven't ridden it yet but the wiper is not coming off.

'08 Rockshox Totem 'topping out' and home servicing

Hi guys, I bought an 08 Reign recently which came with Totems, when I pull up on the bars they go CRACK when they hit the top of their stroke and send a significant jarring through the bars. I've done a bit of googling and it appears they are not supposed to do this. SRAM do rebuild videos and they talk about top out springs and stuff so it appears there is a mechanism to counteract this, I guess mine isn't working properly.

Time clipless pedals

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

Anyone use these pedals because they have dodgy knees? I have one very dodgy knee and have been using spds and have been recently struggling a bit and am wondering if a set of these pedals might be a good investment. If so which model?
