Fox Float RP23 rear shock

So attempting to set the sag tonight I've let ALL the air out and still am short of the requires 25%. Is my shock buggered or do I just weigh less than a fly.
At 75kg I doubt it.
It's been working fine till now I just thought I'd do front and rear sag and a bit of a general fit as I've only had the bike a few weeks and have been to busy having fun on it to do it properly.
Do you have to use a genuine Fox air pump to do it right or will any shock pump suffice.
heers guys

Tubeless tires??

Hey!

OK, I'm tired of getting flats, and have made the decision to go tubeless. So I'm wondering if any of you guys and girls have any recommendations for which ones to choose? Well I'm pretty sure there is a lot of opinions out there Smiling

A few things about my riding that may help in providing me with some advise. I'm riding a Trek Fuel EX 7, my local track is Manly Dam, I'm not a downhill rider but enjoy fast descents and fast flowing single track and some technical climbs. In March I'm riding Capital Punishment. Think that's about it..

Cheers!

Stumpy is dead.... searching for a new Full Sus mtb for short chick... IDEAS suggestions anyone???

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

Sadly my much loved Stumpjumper FSR has sufferd a fatal blow when he fell off the car whilst travelling at 110km/h.... was a heart stopping moment to look into the rear vision mirror only to see my bike bouncing along the bitumen!

ANYWAY...

Now I am on the hunt for a new dually- something between CX and Trail, not too racey not too sluggish either...but oh what to buy???
Chasing a fun, light bike for a short female rider- any suggestions???
Please keep it brief - what n why in a few sentences etc...

Which forks ???

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

OK, so I have ended up with 2 mountain bikes and am wanting to pick off all the best bits so I have 1 reasonable bike & 1 crap bike (although they will both be very low end).

I have a pair of "Marzocchi Bomber Z-4, 4 inch travel" forks from a 2001 model Norco Bigfoot. They dont have any lockout or preload. I think they were quite decent forks back in 2001??

I also have a pair of 2009 SR Suntour XCT-V2 forks. With preload & lockout.

I know they are both pretty average forks, but which do you recommend I put on the better bike.

Your opinions would be great. Thanks

Air Compressors

Just wondering for those out there who own their own air compressors what sort you have? I'm looking for something to inflate 26er and 29er tubeless tyres.

X Fusion vs Fox Triad rear shock

Hi all,

Looking at swapping my X Fusion O2 RLA rear shock on my Spesh FSR XC to a Fox Triad shock. Just wondering if anyone has made this change and what people's opinions are of the Fox Triad.

Thanks

2011 Fox 32 F100 RL w/15QR, tapered steerer & remote lockout, 4.0”/100mm - Service Info Required

Hi, I am going to give the forks a service - First time!

Can anyone advise how much fork oil is required. Have looked on the Fox service website and am still confused.

If there are any other tips, would be much appreciated!

Thanks

It's time to upgrade to a dually and seeking advice

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all

I am thinking it might be time to upgrade to a dual suspension bike. I have done a bit of research and talked to some bike shops and have decided to go for a 29er dually. I have a budget of around $3k and have narrowed down my short list to either a specialized camber comp, trek superfly pro or elite and giant trance x1. I generally ride manly dam and cascades on a recreational basis but may consider racing later on

Was hoping to hear people's experiences with these brands, or bikes preferably, to cut through some of the bike store sales pitch.
