fork setting is easy one. as much ada 3 setting to do

1. fork plushness
spring vs air.

2. fork rebound
controls the speed at which your fork returns after being compressed by a bump. too fast, fork springy like a pogo stick. too slow, your fork is sluggish and sometime cannot recover to full extension quickly between bumps it will become progressively shorter in travel

3. fork compression
controls the speed your fork compresses or reacts to a bump. too little: fork blow through travel. Too much: feel harsh, and it won't make full travel on the fast, big bumps

so my suggestion is just, set everything at middle. then go ride, if you think:
1. you're diving at multiple drops - increase rebound
2. diving at cornering - increase rebound
3. hard to pedal, loosing speed- increase rebound
4. landing after drop but rear wheel sliding everywhere, and almost endo - reduce rebound
5. getting arm pump after going through roots etc - reduce compression
6. wanna go faster - increase rebound, increase compression, dont masturbate the day before ride

in the end: actual setting is down to rider preference.

we can talk about bikes until the chicken balik rumah but this gal uses her giant glory DH bike as her everything bike

where's your balls now??

On One carbon geometry is not xc accelerate-able according some of the local user.

not 456, the on one xc carbon,

he say u only..

my Anthem now doing double duty, commute and frim, OK more commute and road training@desa park than frim. She is still running on stock 2010 michelin wildracers, they roll OK but my LBS, Local Bangla Shop got a pair of Small Block 8s 
so the Q is stick or switch? 

I think JW stocks Ikon. The LarsonTT runs small, the Ikon is huge for a 2.2... LOL

I'm using MKII 2.4 folding. I think India made wan kua? Since it's not protection series. Got it from CRC. For me it's good enuf without BC compound for my use. Grip is almost parallel to Minion in my case and it's lighter than the Protection too! Was expecting the tire to be larger volume though. It's a comfy tire!

Maybe I didn't maxed out the potential of the Minions? 

Been using for a few rides Schwalbe NN 2.1 folding Pacestar. Now that's a crappy tire.

Friend's been swearing by it though, so one man's meat is another's poison?

walau this is crazy DH

Downhill - Turun bukit?
Freeride - Tunggang Percuma?
XC - Merentasi Negara?
Dirt Jump - Lompat Tanah?

but now got a dilemma...i can increase my bdget to rm1000, but hav to wait till end of november...got dis offer for used (1 year) magura menja xc 100mm=rm900, used (1 year) rockshox revelation team 2010=rm1000 n d sektor n recon gold...which 1 is a good bargain??

You probably need to send it in Spore..there got a lot Magura
Similar to Leftys...leceh
The thing about mtb the components require maintenance because of the off road riding we do....the more aggresive u ride the more likely you ll require to service your parts

Hi bro, need some advice....

recently my front brake always seems to jam- this happen after a ride when got home. I chuck my bike into my car boot (folding down rear seat).
not sure what to do with it, but after a day or 2 it then free up.
Doubt any issue during the ride ( but then i might not notice, if it sangkut only lightly).

I am using elixer 3 btw.... yeah, not the best in the offer but also no $$$ to upgrade. Any clue how to DIY repair?
it should not be air lock issue right? that would relate to lack of bite...

So the wheel builder is very important in this case. Say building up a ZTR wheels, if the builder tension the rims at the min tension, after the tire is mounted, the spoke tension will drop significantly low, causing weak rims and wobbles.

Either re-tension/re-true the wheels with tires on it or tension the spokes on the higher end of the allowable tension range. After that is done, the spoke tension varies much lesser between tire mounted and unmounted.

FYI, all rims' spoke tension drop when mounted with tires. Just that ZTR has the tendencies to drop more than others if not build right.

i dunno also what i type brb
