@mudhudgie95 Both of these bikes are exceptional because they pedal very well, yet they can handle abusive terrain as well. That said, it sounds like you might prefer from the lighter weight of the Mojo SLR if you stick mainly to easier trails. In reality, the SB-66 might just be too much bike m...

.... in most cases, but they're simply best for on-road use as designed by Garmin.

@darkscope001 These would be great for bigger riders, and we love 'em for 'cross. Mavic's Ksyrium Equipe is closely priced and a bit lighter. We've always known them to be super durable too.

@finnrambo1 This remains a mystery...let's chalk it up to Italian styling shall we?

@flyboyrich87 Shock tuning can be fun. Sounds like you need to get into it from here to optimize performance. If you ride your bike hard and go big on ledges or jumps, there's a good chance that you could bump through all your travel. With the big volume air can, you have the potential to make bi...

@ccmeaston This could be a number of things: check the lever play. If you've ever wrecked and tweaked the lever, this can cause it to bind in the pivot on the body.This might create enough drag to prevent the lever from opening fully on its own. Otherwise, it's possible for the piston/s to get g...

@exoticrides7224 At a glance, those wheels look like 303 tubulars.

@TMTBRider I'm not sure your Fox rear shock has a red "lever". If you mean red dial, then we're talking about the rebound knob. It can easily get clogged with oily gunk/dirt/grit/etc. You should degrease the assembly if this is the case. Then try some light chain lube on the knob. If this doesn'...

@TheFinTTu That's a Turner Flux with dw-link rear suspension.

@SeGaSaTuRn1994 It sounds like you need to remove the 10mm nuts from the bottom of the fork legs. You'll need to remove the adjuster knob on the right leg before that. It will have a hex set screw.

@MrCro25 Dual crown forks are typically built for extreme use like downhill or freeride. The dual crown design is stiffer for better handling in challenging terrain.

@titanium1228 another thing to think about is this: which material is most easily repaired? Steel is easy enough to repair at home, but high end steel bikes use thin-walled tubing that's prone to work-hardening (though not like aluminum alloys). You won't repair aluminum at home because the whol...

@alextroch There are many options for DH bikes out there, but if you're looking to minimize your spending, you should certainly stick to those with aluminum frames.

The primary difference is the capacity. The BD-1 is 12 liters, and the BD-2 is 15 liters.

@topiparrot, The SB-66 feels a little longer than a comparable sized Mojo, but that's because it is. That said, you quickly get used to the wheelbase. The steering feel is expectedly a tad slower, but where you begin to find your limits of comfort on the Mojo at speed, the Yeti gives you the conf...

29er wheels have the same bead seat diameter as a standard road wheel at 622mm. For reference, a 26" mountain bike wheel has a BSD of 559mm. @SSPPhinx is right about the effect. The bigger diameter creates a reduced approach angle. Who knew geometry would be so much fun?

@toaster56 Admittedly, the hose looks too short at the beginning of the video, but It's a funny angle. If you watch the action shots of Andy on the trail, you'll see that there is a nice bend to the hose with plenty of slack. The bike was also built with 30cm of spacer stack underneath the stem....

@MsBixby You may need to change your air spring. By that I mean lower the air prerssure in the left side of the fork. You'll need a shock pump to do it, or if easier, take it to your local shop. Any shop would have a pump and most likely be glad to help you out. You'll want to shoot for 20-25% s...

@UrbanArcticDesert, the joint pads are pretty durable. I'd say the answer to your question would depend on the surface texture of the concrete. Smooth -- no problem. Really coarse broom finish -- maybe tears. And of course, it would depend on your speed and how much sliding you do when you wipe out.

@65889595, the Racing Ralph is better suited for hardpack trails.

@awildermode, That may just be his style. I'm not sure that it would offer any advantage by opposing the finishing tape. I can tell you that it's best to not pull the electrical tape too tight because it will always shrink back up a bit, and you wouldn't want your tape line to deform because of i...

@ccmeaston, I'd suggest you go for a test ride and see if you can discern the play from the saddle. If not, have a great season. If so, feel free to send it all back and we'll go another route.

@worldbmx it looks like your bike came with a 160mm fork. That's not to say that you couldn't bolt the 40 on there, though your front end will be way taller and slacker. It may affect your handling too much to be worth it. That said, the 40 comes with a straight 1-1/8" steerer, so that means you...
