    Shock for linear bike (I think).

    Hi Guys, I'm having analysis paralysis with choosing an shock for my bike or if anyone could give me tuning advice. Below is the leverage curve, it is pretty linear.

    Knocking in fork

    Marz z1 2021 160mm So I can feel and hear a knocking in my fork where the stanchions sit in the lowers. Definitely not my headset or fork Axel. Is this where the bushings are? Is this a warranty thing or a service thing or is it normal. First time I've felt this in a fork.

    Manitou woes from a novice rider

    So upfront, I don't service my own forks. I don't wanna deal with oil disposal etc. So I have a Manitou Mattoc Pro 2 in which the dampener has basically just stopped working at all after a service. Story goes like this. A while back I took my bike to get serviced before a weekend to Bright. The...

    Anyone ridden Forrest in Vic?

    Hi guys, looking to head up to Forrest to do some riding. Never been there before but is there enough there to justify a 2hr drive? We've all got enduro style bikes so we can pedal uphil if needed, but we're all pretty descent orientated. Can anyone recommend any tracks or a circuit to do? Thanks.

    Where to MTB in winter??

    Hi guys, Was wondering where people would go if they wanted to spend 3-5 days riding somewhere late July and were willing to drive up to 24 hours (From Melbourne). Riding would be preferably gravity based, any place that has shuttles or a lift would be a winner. Mates and I were willing to...

    26" Fork question/recommendations

    Hello guys. Got into riding about 6 months ago so be gentle. I purchased 2005 Banshee Scirocco with a (2005?) Fox Float RLC 130mm fork for my first bike on the recommendation of a friend. The previous owner of the bike put a spacer inside of it to reduce the travel to 100mm as he used it...
