I zip tied an enduro engineering ebike stand onto a ballards scissor lift moto stand. Works well. Was still cheaper than a park tool floor stand.

From my short time owning kahas, in comparison with the two sets of direttessima and set of cascade code calipers I have on other bikes, he's not overcharging. The lever blade could be a bit wider, the shape is good, and I have no discomfort at all. The shipped bleed could've been better. I used...

Don't commute, but last time I owned a car I'd put 2700km on it when it came time to renew rego. Have an ebike with a rack now.

I like fiddling and changing, so I hate internal routing with a passion. The shock is a recent change like the fork, feels great despite doing little apart from winding some spring preload and suggested initial settings, and I've found a use for old Ti springs I've kept from having DH bikes back...

Had a 40 on mine for a little while now, and it owns on a long travel ebike. I'd put a 40 on another shorter (165mm) travel frame and loved the front end feel. The trouble with the early LED version of the Voima is the head tube is so tall at 140mm, it's a real hassle to get a double crown fork...

lol definitely not the only one.

I've never checked, but I've always thought that's why the MTB mag and site had the name.

Found out newer 2021 lowers are compatible with older 40s. Also read that in combination with a MORC crown from Mojo, offsets can come down to 42mm using the newer lower on a 29er 40. Outsider crown with the -10mm insert would possibly get you 40mm offset with the new lowers. Old 49 used to spec...

Going to bump this a bit. Do the new 40 lowers fit the older 2019 40s? I've got a new frame with the much bigger lower head tube and my old arch doesn't clear it, but the new lowers have an offset arch that seems to work with these type of head tubes. I've got some reduced offset crowns, and old...

Yeah, it's mine, had it a week. Not my only eeb. Been full eeb since the second covid shutdown, just ride eebs six days a week on trails I like if I can. Haven't touched a road bike since. Suspension feels good so far, still a bit of riding and fiddling to do. Just changed the fork from 38 to...

You're not Robinson Crusoe there with that point of view.

It's pretty similar to the old dw-link Turner DHR. I'd pull the spacers out of the shock to give 65mm stroke and 170mm travel, and run a Fox 40 at 180mm using the Mojo negative chamber trick and use the Ibis for self shuttle DH riding. The designer pointed out this as something they've done in...

Definitely going back to Marzocchi now!

Fuck Fox. Slick provide a service to Fox customers that Fox aren't willing to provide themselves. I've bought Slik kits for almost every Fox fork I've had in the last ten years. It's a little thing that provides that last little bit of OCD satisfaction, and in no way damages Fox commercially...

JobKeeper isn't means tested. JobSeeker is and the tests have been relaxed/extended AFAIK. JobKeeper is also taxed, but isn't included in super calculations.
