Ok I want to put a more Freeride/ All Mountain Fork on my Heckler something light, but yet can take abuse. Not sure on what to get looking at a Lyric 2 step air or Coil U- Turn or Domain 302 U-Turn all 160mm. The Coils are heavy though. Would like a Fox 36 Talas with Kashima however to much money. I have other bikes and want to make this mostly a Freeride/ All Mountain Bike. I have a DHX Coil in the rear and right now a Fox 32 Van RLC with Lockout 140mm up front. Thanks

Go for a 160 mm Fox Float R that's suffisant

Lyrik solo air 160 mm wil be perfect especially with Motion Control DH.

HI THERE.... In El Salvador _ Central América (different kinds of terrain)

Actually i got two bikes:

1. A Santa Cruz Nomad with a Rock shock Lyrik 160mm (I bought the fork in wheelworld for $499, R version and after that I install the Motion Control DH and a dual flow rebound), And believe me R version was enough.

2. Hekcler with a rock shock revelation this shock was a poor sensitive shock and I had to alter the damping cartridge in order to increase the small bump sensitivity. The damping cartridge is the DNA LR with no floodgate. Also the bike comes with a fox float RL piece of garbage, as soon as I can I replaced the shock for an x fusion HLR coil and WHAT difference Now I am waiting for new shock an Rock shock pearl 3.1 tuned by my friend Jerry Vanderpool from Hippie Tech suspension. HLR is OK but a little bit heavy and at this time I’m getting older and the weight counts.

They are a great model, but if you can get a coil for it they are even better, I changed mine and any extra weight is worth just how buttery smooth they work with a coil shock.

It was stollen Monday in Regian, SK.

I rode it to work and locked it up. When I came out it was gone.

I called the Police and reported it stolen. I also called all the pawn shops in the phone book and have been scouring online buy and sells, ebay etc.

I spoke to the manager here at the client and they said they would have security review the footage. I also spoke to the witness who apprently confronted the theif, asked him what he was doing. He cussed her off and said it was no business of hers what he did to his own bike lock. She saw him pull bolt cutters from his backpack. She then watched him ride it away and hang out behind the court house here, which will also have cameras. Description is a tall Native Canadian, wearing a black hoodie and a backpack.

Thats some good info. Dont just ring the shops - go and look if you can.
Chances are he is probably known to the police also.
