it's got new thinking too, suddenly RS makes a futureproofed long travel fork again.

The crown stops more than an inch above the tire, as it hits the bottom out bumpers before it can hit the last ~15mm of stanchion. I'm definitely going to be running my friend's 650b front wheel for dry days! And even if it gets muddy out, I'd have a mud shedding arch lol

My only concern is wheel and tire flex in corners.. Last thing I want is one of those meaty side knobs getting hooked onto the arch sides

It is making me think about 650 on my surge when I can get up enough for a new wheel-set...probably have to pull the dropouts back a little bit but should work....hmmmmmm

yeah, that's true, it would shoot you OTB pretty quick it if caught. I wonder if a smaller rim/tyre would be better, a 2.4 maxxis is smaller/lower profile than a MM.

hope you didn't mind me sharing your post!

hey ya'll I'm sure this has been addressed but I couldn't find it...picked up a used lyrik solo air 170 and after a couple of rides it has developed a click on rebound if pushed into deep travel any ideas to look for before I tear it apart?

could possibly be the rebound piston head on the rebound rod, best bet would just be to tear it apart and recheck everything. Can pick up a rebuild kit pretty cheap on amazon.

Noooo problem at all Smile

also I can't believe you'd compare Maxxis to MM Pirate

Are you able to lower a 2012 Totem Dual Position Air? With either keeping the dual position so it can be adjusted from 100-120 or just setting it at 100?

No reason not to, I really like my totem on my demo 7 and the extra pound compared to a dj1 is worth having the fork I want.

haha I've run DHF/DHR2's for the last 4 years, they're dirt cheap ($25-40 for supertackys) and work great. No reeal incentive to switch Smile
