    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...

    Rear Brake pulsating

    common with elixirs is pulsing, due to improperly bedded pads. I've found that sanding down the pads and cleaning everything with brake cleaner/isopropyl is a good starting point, followed by a proper bed-in procedure. improperly bedding pads will make them suck for the remainder of the time you...

    Stripped threads on Hayes Trail Levers

    easier to buy something new. My 2 cents. If you tap a bigger thread, there's a chance the tapping will be no good, or worse, remove enough material to render the lever unsafe. You could buy a new assembly but costs for swapping the old hardware to a new lever doesn't make sense. You could...

    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...

    Sram is offering a 38/24 and 36/22 crank option. Not sure on ETA, but soon... probably in July/August when all their other new stuff is due to drop. This was announced at Sea Otter, I'm sure you can find more details by doing a quick google search.

    Manitou Match VS Minute

    Not trying to knock manitou, I own a R7 platinum 80mm... I didn't know there were budget constraints, that changes things a bit. For you Manitou lovers, have you put in many miles on the Fox or Rockshox (sid/reba) platforms? I don't think there is any contest, but then again they are way...
