I had a bunch of articles saved as they greatly annoyed me, I'll did the links out. I get that in some cases they can overwhelm woods but these same people will put more effort into removing beech from their woods while doing nothing to criticise the complete lack of life that exists in any...

I stand corrected, I didn't realise you'd sorted out the older forks too. Nice one. It's mental how much modern stuff is already obsolete as far as Fox and SRAM are concerned. You can't get bladders for charger dampers separate despite them not lasting much longer than the service interval, and...

Ash dieback is heartbreaking to see, they're one of my favourite trees, especially mature examples. Not many large trees can give such a vibrant glow in summer. I admire anyone who is supporting developing woodland, it's a lot of effort. I've helped friends out in the past who help rewinding...

I think where I see the issue with public land ownership is that it is inevitably driven by politicians, and right now I don't believe any of the politicians are capable or competent enough to drive any policy in this area, or find impartial advisers to support effective management. Those who...

Our landowner here is London based and does nothing to cull the deer locally. Going back the last hundred years there's not been a significant red deer population on our headland at all, just Roe deer which do much less damage, but in the last ten years they've exploded. Luckily enough locals...

It's difficult for me to even express myself effectively on this because so much of it is tied up in political grandstanding (from both sides), and half the time any complaints (per Lesley Riddoch, a staunch nationalist and left winger), it's simply an attack against the land owning class, and...

I think even when they were contemporary they were still a rare choice as anyone wanting a beefy hub likely already had discs.

This is a front one; been on many, many bikes (and now on the front of my Marin). Originally bought as a temporary spare to replace a broken Fatso; QR and no disc tabs, like Lee's rear one.

You've done a good thread hijack @Tio68 🤣 Usually it's me doing that. Those seals are basically NLA, and have been like that for a long time. Someone on here (or maybe IG) found a supplier for the DH4 but they're the M4 which came later and had a thinner cross section seal used. The best...

Thread looks quite coarse as some of these bespoke bolts are. To the OP; measure the gap from the peak of the first thread to the last one and divide by the number of threads. It'll come out as 1.5 or 1.75, which will be the pitch. M8 x 1.5 is fairly standard coarse thread, M8 x 1.75 will be...

Ahh, I can't help then unfortunately, I mis-read you.

They were around in early 1996 so definitely not too far out, by mid '97 the BAM stuff was already available. The problem with the earlier models like the XC700 or DH3 is that, like RS and Manitou stuff of the era, spares are basically NLA. The Pace RC35 might work if a true MY94 fork is...

Which 165mm ones are you after, and which 203mm ones do you have?

If it's up to 96 then I'd say 80mm is the max travel it would have come with. Z1's were only just launched and Warner was racing some WC's on them, and they were 100mm travel. The Judy DH was 80mm and standard Judy's were 63mm, and the Pace RC36 first gen was 76mm. If you wanted something that...

Which type are you after? There are three versions of Bulbs; Mk1 - 5 bolt via a removable spider Mk2 - 6 bolt with disc tabs going all the way to the flange Mk3 - 6 bolt with truncated disc tabs, sealed at the inner end (as opposed to the Pro II which was open)

I think many, many companies over-reached themselves post Covid. The world is currently a scary place, people can't afford to heat their homes and eat, and the vast majority of their target audience, despite appearances, are those who don't actually have a huge amount of spare cash. Yes, there...

If you can get a steerer with the correct tolerance at the interface then it should be easy enough for a decent tuner like Sprung or JTech to replace it with a longer one.

I've avoided commenting on anything about Rampage as I can't be bothered typing it out on a phone to become a little snippet on Instagram. I've hit a lot of big stuff in my time and taken a lot of risks on a bike, both while racing and just going out riding. But all of the decisions have been...

It is, but if you jumped on an F1 wishbone it would snap pretty easily. Carbon's great for things where you know what forces are going to be applied, and where you can control the damage, but a lot less good when it's open to all manner of customer misuse combined with gram counting. In road and...
