mm..... yup.... thanks for ur advice... actually here we got a trail that have to ride up really hard (asphalt) then when descend can choose either ordinary road or... DH route usually will see all the DH kaki with full armor go down really fast ... i already try the down hill part using my HT & feel nice but have to do it really extra carefull or it will become disaster...& maybe i already change my tyre to 2.4 ...so that i feel it absorb abit the bump ..... but really dangerous coz the tail part keep lompat lompat like hantu puchong although i keep my weight very far behind ( luckily i got xs for my frame) to keep the bike from endo.... thats y im have the feeling to take another bike either trance or reign.... really hard to make decision from the diffrent of 1 inch rear travel  laugh.gif

but really appreciate all the advice from u all from here  notworthy.gif

wat is the highest drop u wanna try? 5.75 inch rear travel is quit alot liau..

unless u intend to go full DH ala PCP DH/formerly bukit cermin, most trail can cover with 5 inches.
since no trail is with lifter, climb uphill is always an issues.

phew, atleast he will take and send in to fix.. now i see the drawback is the time in waiting it get serviced.

i tot he not covering the necessary warranty.

btw, how long does fox fork warranty suppose to be? how this fox warranty works?
no local fox service center seeing this fork is pretty popular here.
if a OEM fork from the bike, do i get to send fox directly or have to via bike manufacturer

angah is trader. in import bis, this is common since he is just importer.
RS/fox all item come with 1 years unless stated.

oem sent back to bike seller; bike seller do same by sent back to his seller.
in this case angah is as same as any bikeshop.
As for turnaround time, it's still same rule applied but subject to way of seller do his stocking.

for bumpy ride, just adjust the rebounce...
5 inch n 6 inch no dif for bumpy ride as it's the rebounce issue not shox travel but 6 inch allow longer slow rebounce state.

else change to 29" wheel or large volume tire.

only shox and wheel trueing need expert due to expensive shox n trueing need skill.
other can dyi.
problematic dyi normally is bb crank & cassette. that is also because those item need special tools.
if you buy those bike tools, then only shox n trueing need shop unless u have no time..

in fact max's car boot is almost as well equip as most bike shop... laugh.gif

My personal experience with Bikepro, their attitude sucks. Was in the shop for 15mins without a single soul ask me if I'm looking for anything. But when their regular big spender walk in, fuiyoh... macam sibek kamching brother here brother there.

Ask for something, they just point to one corner and ask me to look for it there myself.

if not wrong ck is 50 years warranty, crank creek 100 years.
both feel same with cap ayam in short term or mild use. but branded is can take more abuse.

price wise, ck n cc is <rm200 dif.

thx mate.
i tot AG team no more liao?
wait untill thursday see angah got take any action onot, i call him since sunday, no pick up my phone.
only replied my sms on sunday....really get fooled ...
-when i get the fork, told me this is best for AM... after check, only know that wat i got is the xc normal fox fork.
-request him about the fork pump, ask me send him my address.but now, not news at all...

really feel myself sohaiz when back my home and looking to the bike.
*
wat model u use? i though is talas?
under now design, <5 shox is xc/am. >6 is am/dh/fr. So a bike's shox already can determine the fork to be used. on AM rider can choose between the fork base on his ball size.

fork pump is std accessories come with bike with air shox.
