why not a bottle cage? you cannot simply ask ppl to remove their bottle cage. In my opinion, for xc ridings, it would be suffocation if you're doing 2 hrs of xc ride with a waterbag on ur back. it's heavy. with bottle cage down there, you don't have any weight on your body. more comfortable for xc rides. ive been there and done that. if the rides would conclude of 3-5hrs rides, a hydration bag would be suggestive. as you would be bringing some food as well.

riding in pcp with a clean look of the bike doesnt mean he's not hardcore. most probably pcp is dry.

its the other way round lol...

don't forget to take a vid and post it up

woohoo!

Happy Birthday dude

birthday ride bro? lol...

remote lockout eh?

first check whether did u install the remote properly, the cable tension etc...

rebound control is to control how fast or slow the fork comes back out after it had been compressed...

generally, faster + bumpy trails shud put at a somewhat faster rebound, while for casual riding or slow/technical trail should adjust the rebound slightly slower, to prevent the fork shooting you back up after you hit a rock or something lol...

just rang up Mr. R. N. Samy

he said his supplier didn't import in the SR Suntour Axon.

he added, the Epicon fork is quite sellable at his shop.

does this mean tat, u won't any axon locally?

ns,
thanks for the


now i know how to set my fork properly... hehehehhehe....

+ve faster -ve slower...now i get the idea... and how to use it.. hehehhehe

yeah my birthday gift!

like to share something for lite reading

http://allanti.com/page.cfm?PageID=328

well yeah, the Epicon is pretty damn popular now as you can adjust the travel from 80-140mm manually by opening the fork up lol...

and i think Dinraxxx here is using an axon, can ask where he got his from...

if the rebound speed is too slow, when the fork compresses, it does not have enough time to extend back to absorb the next bump, giving a 'stuck' or 'dead' feeling to the fork as its always compressed, if the rebound is too fast however, it'll be the opposite where the fork will launch you up right after you hit a bump, which might cause you to lose control...

its really a game of balance really, most ppl in mtbr forum tune their fork for every trail they ride lol...

may i interest you in a powerball?

read that before lol...

i think it was posted on Fakawi last time...

this one made in America
