  1. Rode 8 miles at Mitchell Memorial Forest in cinci after I was too tired to keep wakeboarding. The beginning is technical but fast. the B trail has part designed to be ridden wet and a lot of slick flat rocks. Then back to the end of the A trail many roots. I may have ridden it backwards. 1 section was closed for mud and it said to start with the mile markers decreasing but had signs in both directions. Had about 90 minutes minutes until the park "closed" and was trying to rush besides being beat.  I was a bit past and people were grilling out  when I left>? Google says 9p but it may be dusk. Pay to park.

  2. Swapped my 34 fox factory elite 120 fork  with a 32 140mm x-fusion velvet. Gained 200g also had to swap the tubless boost carbon wheel with a 100mm hub tubed one and 180 rotor to 160 centerlock. My first ride swapping from 32 to 30t chainring too. Totally changed the ride, feels completely dialed in. Bridges felt a little sketchier.  Maybe I need more time with it slacker should be more stable. The fork lengths don'y look 200 mm different but I did have lighter cranks strikes that I rarely had at all on previous bikes.  Had the old fork in the trunk just in case but may sell it now. I  had tried adjusting the settings and volume spacers to improve the action.

     

  3. Never posted my lunch ride boot bike build up. 7 speed megarange. I need a chain keeper for the high gear. I'm a big fan of the spring saddle mounts when riding over cracks.  I ordered another for my road bike via ebay/amazon/failed kickstarter. Better than the carbon leaf spring post.

    I have it at the least leverage at 205lb may put a preload band on it to cut some bounce.

    Not that I plan on buying one of these, but my concern is when they start to get some mileage on them and hit the used market. All those linkages, bearing, and bushings up front, do you really trust joe blow backyard mechanic to rebuild the front end of one of those?

    If the springs don't match your weight can you change them out or will that mess up all the magic that goes on. Now you've got to buy 4 springs instead of 2.

    Springs combine in the same attached unit. In a normal fork you can use.5 and 1 to get .75 if the fork isn't a noodle.

  5. heat raises resistance. Try tapping the starter and solenoid with a stick to see if they break loose. Other thought is if vibrations could be doing something like foaming the battery's fluid. is it acid or gel?  you're in neutral in the first video and in gear in the next right? neuteal or clutch switch?

  6. push starting it really sounds like a starter or battery issue. does a jump pack help? You can clean carbon deposits off some starters.

    1. Jan 17, 2018 - It doesn't work in all situations, nor does it fix all problems. Push-starting a motorcyclejust eliminates the need to use the starting system. Be sure, then .... Give it another shot if you're stillrolling at speed down a grade. If you're ...

    I put new Q3+ on the Ducati and left the weights on from the last change from RS10s.
