    Push suspension services

    Another vote for suspension experts. I sent my fork to Push and wasn't thrilled with the fork having bushing play after the service.

    Custom wheel building

    I'll chime in since I build a lot of wheels. Anyone can build wheels once they memorize the lacing pattern. It took me What determines a good wheel is the attention to detail. before you commit to a builder ask a few simple questions, and if they can't answer them with confidence you know...

    Painting frames.

    I only skimmed the linked paint-removal thread, but I saw he said that it takes several passess w/ chemical stripper. Not so. Coat the frame w/ the stripper, and then wrap it in plastic wrap. I did this once on someone's suggestion. I guess the logic is that it keeps the stripper liquid and...
