If the cabling too messy can tight a cable tie on the clevis (notice closely, there's a place for cable tie), the black coloured hard short tube came with the frame.

U may find something diameter as a straw, length originally are 1cm (may taller as you he bigger shock), hard rubberised material as replacement.

Just got back from my first trip to Chiang Mai. What an awesome experience. Tried the famous Bamboo, Scout Camp Gee House and ATV trails among others. All of them are like Kiara x20, where everything is gnarlier, bigger and longer. Endos, arm pumps and brakes overheating is real.

If you love Kiara, Chiang Mai is a must go. Not much photos of the trails but sharing 2 photos here.

[attachmentid=8160261]
Steepest rock garden. Ever. This is at the ATV trail. At least 70 degrees steep, with big ass rocks.

[attachmentid=8160308]
The bottom of another long, fast, and steep drop with big roots and ruts. Just hold on to the rear brake and hang on!
*
ATV looks gooding..almost like TNT trail but with big rocks, gonna go there someday...

the second pic not my type of trail, straight down..sure its fast but if theres nothing technical, it kinda kills it

i gugel, seems like many recommend cane creek

Cane Creek. My Vimana is fitted with it, even my previous Enduro was fitted with a Cane Creek.
IMHO, Chris King is overpriced.

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Jan 3 2017, 10:25 AM)
40 IINM...

cane creek 40 lasted for 6 months for me, that's why im keen on CK rather than CC...thinking of getting CC110..price is the same as CK at samy bike shop... hmm.gif

My friend has used both before. He said CK is less robust than CC. His CK on his Nomad developed play after a short while. Maybe coz the slack 65 degree angle thats puts a lot of pressure on it. Bear in mind also that he is quite the aggressive rider. He is using CC 110 now and so far so good.

I'm also using CC 110 and so far so good. IINM, both CK and CC 110 around the same price, about RM500+.

CANE CREEK it is then...since I like the top cap design, lol

Your Cane Creek 40 ori onot? hmm.gif Or did you buy Cane Creak instead?

lol...I think its like thurtin said, due to stress on the headset from aggressive riding...furthermore, im using 180mm fork on a 160mm bike...might be one of the reason?

but my giant reign stock headset is handling 180mm ok, the headset only rattle when going on rough trails, if flat road or normal smooth trail, no rattling sound compared to my previous CC40

had no idea how my rear tire punctured again sad.gif (was totally fine after riding FRIM trail last Sunday).

but no $$ to get tubeless rim, any sifus here tried the "ghetto" tubeless conversion before? i know how to do it but im worrying that my rim will be too narrow in order to secure the tire tightly.
*
no need to convert tubeless, unless you hardcore rider...

what rim do you use now?

last time im using spank rims, tubes, manage to puncture it after 1 year...

just change rim tapes, shud be fine

hi guys, after much thought i've decided to go with flat pedals on my hardtail..gonna pick up those pedals tomorrow, can't wait to ride with those on.

anyway, i've also been looking at intermediate/enthusiast level air-sprung fork & 2 forks came to mind.
-first is the suntour epixon, i've seen a lot of riders with those on so i guess they must be ok to use.
-the second fork i'm looking at is the x-fusion enix. i rarely see those on bikes around where i ride & i wonder why..is it because it's priced higher or it doesn't perform as good as the epixon? and i only see one particular model, the enix on sale around BBS but not the velvet, etc..is the enix an older model, like the epicon used to be before being replaced by the epixon?
*
How much travel do you need?

Xfusion is a good brand too, underrated
Slightly cheaper than fox and rockshox IMO

hehehe, ok..i just thought that 100mm is enough for me on my HT bike..

u can try 140mm perhaps? later can give u some confidence when goin steeper trail..

but, ultimately, it depends on what trail u usually ride n what do u enjoy, climbing or descending....
