Bought a Mattoc Pro fork…I was an early adopter of the Mezzer everyone’s finally getting these days…and I’m very impressed. It’s on my Kona Hei Hei CR DL.

Wee bit concerned I should have got smaller frame but feels pretty good with a shorter stem since taking this pic - real test will be ride tomorrow.
Kick ass…new bike day!Quote:

First AXS product for me, so I can speak for the other stuff…but after taking it for a spin…wow. No joke, it’s a game changer and I love it. Worth the price of admission IMHO.

Little update on my situation.. much to my chagrin broke down and ordered another X2 (2022) since I couldn't make up my mind on an alternative and wanted to ride this weekend. Found a factory model for cheap and the more I've read, the more I'm seeing peoples' 2024 models appearing to be holding up. So whenever this one blows I'll hopefully get a solid replacement. On paper there's not much different between the perf elite and factory models (other than HSR and the gold coating stuff) but this shock feels way better than the old one ever did.
Also put new HS2 rotors on my GFs bike. She said they were great biking Targhee, silent the entire time.
Much to my surprise, the ghetto tubless held. Fuck, I forgot how much fun this thing is to ride.

Its been pretty good but after 2 yrs/ 3500kms my SDG Tellis dropper seat post is somewhat flacid and not really staying up very well
the good news is the cartridge is easily replaceable for only 49$ US and they are available on-line every where
I splurged and grabbed one of the fancy Park Tool bleed kits on sale. The syringe holders that strap to the frame seem really clever, and should help make sure no bubbles get accidentally introduced by the syringes flopping around whenever I have to let one go to connect/disconnect the other.
Yeah it’s still my one and only. Tossed the beat Forekasters and went Dissector+Ground Control T7; just put new ESI Extra Chunky's on this weekend. I think I’m about to drop the 175 cranks to 170’s. Otherwise she’s still rolling more or less as orderedQuote:

The new belt was 90$ and zero for chain lube
Spent 2 years not really loving my Sid before I introduced her stanchions to some rocks, so I snagged a 34 Grip 2 for the Spur.

If anyone wants to take a crack at fixing the Sid (2022 Sid Select+) it's yours for the price of the fender. Stanchion looks beyond a sanding, left seal is a goner and I'm not sure if the (non-replaceable) bushings took any damage from the metal hanging off the scratch.
Picked this up on the way to Moab, tested it out on the Whole Enchilada. Much more fun then then the XC bike.

i dig it.
^^ I run the bashguide version of this on my big bike, it's awesome. Also nearly invisible, and has paid for itself a few times already. And the guide is long enough to work well with oval rings which isn't always the case.
Absolute Black makes good stuff.
I had a question about ring compatibility/12speed Shimano a few weeks ago. Their website said to call with questions until 10pm UK time, so I gave them a ring at pm on a Friday at 9:30pm their time. and the owner picked up and helped me out. Pretty cool company.Quote:

Only thing I'm going to change out for now are the tires. Have yet to find a Schwalbe tire that I like and the Wicked Will that came with the bike confirms that their tires still suck. Going to throw a 2.3 DHF up front and burn through both tires on the rear.

Just finished building up a new Forbidden Dreadnought - built this to lean more to the "trail" side of enduro, and man it fucking rips. Way better climber than expected, and it's still super plush and playful on the descents.

Installed the low speed compression knob kit on my Float X effectively turning it into a performance elite. Noticeable range of adjustment based on the highly accurate seated garage bounce. However, the setting from the factory was 4 (1 firmest, 10 softest), and I’ve actually been happy with the compression damping thus far. But for $25 and about 15 minutes of time, I figured why not. It’ll help resale at the very least.

Was expecting a rebuild with the 2024 updates, definitely not a new and higher spec shock (the one that was sent in was a 3 year old Performance Elite).
So anyway, very impressed with how Fox is handling this. Not going to run it the remainder of this season but will probably start out next season with the new one. Will be very curious to see if the recent positive reviews of the 2024 models hold true.

Same for me. Sent an old one in, got a new 2024. Tbd how the 2024 holds up. Fingers crossed.Quote:

Looks fast standing still, damn. I passed on getting a Druid V1 frame for $1500 a couple weeks ago when the Forbidden site was blowing them out and I've regretted it since. I think a Druid V2 frame is my next bike to complement my Spire as a shorter-travel pedal bike that can still eat up janky backcountry rides.Quote:

Other then the durability/clunking issues with the first release....have you (and anyone else with one) like the performance of the Fox Float X? I just picked one up to replace my SD+ on my V2 Hightower.Quote:

I found some sam hill titanium pedals on the local classifieds. My pedals on the bike are missing pins, broken pins, etc, and these look cool. I'll try em.

Getting bike ready for Perú. New DH casing rear tire, one CushCore, new 223 2.3 TRP rotor, new brake pads, bled both brakes, put wheelbase into long mode, new One Up handlebar, swapped 200mm transfer for 210 One Up post.
Also did a lower service on the Zeb.
Feeling dialed, but gotta bed in some stuff on the Pass as soon as it’s a bit dryer.
Getting stoked!
^^^ hell YEAH! South America is awesome.
You should come with me next year, I’m gonna try and put together a group trip of ‘qualified’ (old? Lol) rippers to share expenses. I have it pretty covered, this will be my 12th riding trip down there…
