Still young at heart by the sounds of it!Today's lunchtime ride.
There's a mound of dirt, sure I can ride up and over that. Just as I get to the top, I pedal strike, and nearly fall off the side of it, but just manage to stay on and ride down it.
It wasn't very high, maybe 1.5m, but back at ground level, I'm thinking what a stupid twat.
Must be getting old.
Negative sir, you aren't on an eBike yet!Must be getting old.
Cheap arse junk. They couldn't even centre the holes.Heyyy Cabrónnnn

Correct. Straight Outta China.Cheap.
Can you use that much grease by 2029?Since fitting the chi 155mm cranks on my bike running 27.5 f/r with the 170mm Z1, I wanted to try it back at 150mm. So instead of a Z1 150mm shafts I took the DIY coil out of the revs and put the 150mm airshaft back in with the DIY runt/dual chamber set up.
Tomorrow after work I'll swap the forks over.
Also went back to a bath oil I used a couple of years back that worked well and I'm trying a grease that pretty much matches the properties of Slickoleum (in fact could actually be Slickoleum).

Note the RB standard clean bench behind...
2029 probably not, but it was still cheaper than a small tub of Slickoleum.Can you use that much grease by 2029?
Any issues going back to air and seals not sealing. Like to coil my fork but they say it’s a one way street as the coil will mark the inner walls and air seals won’t seal.
I’ve heard lots of ‘coil will scratch the inner walls’ but yet to read of one person that has actually found this to be the case. I reverted my lyric from Smashpot back to air and it was fine. Only way I can see the spring scratching the inner wall bad enough is if your clumsy pulling and inserting springs.Can you use that much grease by 2029?

LightBicycle?Correct. Straight Outta China.
Cheers. If go down the coil fork path I was going to look to cover the spring in a plastic tube or similar to be extra cautious.I’ve heard lots of ‘coil will scratch the inner walls’ but yet to read of one person that has actually found this to be the case.

Depends on the fork. Some don’t have the space hence why they get a length of shrink wrap. I think F38’s and maybe Zebs get a plastic tube in the SP kit but Lyriks don’t.Cheers. If go down the coil fork path I was going to look to cover the spring in a plastic tube or similar to be extra cautious.
