Wasn't the issue with the integra? KS LEV works great for me stil.

The upgrade to the newer integra mechanism is free - mine has been flawless with the new one.

Hi, any suggestions to get a better performance of my 2011 fox 36 talas rlc? I want a new fork but I don't have the money to go for a pike or a new 36, so thinking in upgrade a little my 36, what do you recomend? Do the conversion from talas to float rc2? Or put some kashima stachions? Or what? Also wanna paint the lowers in dvo green or in the color of my remedy.

Seriously. Sell it and buy something else.

I know he said he couldn't afford a new pike, but its the perfect fork for a remedy and will increase resale value unlike throwing money at his old fork. One of the German sites normally has a few pikes going cheap.

If this is the case, a riding buddy has one and it seems to be pretty solid, but you can't go wrong with a Pike.

I thought resale value was something we only ever pretended existed when speaking to our wives?

I've got a pair of FOX VAN 36 RC2 that are the first batch of the Kashima coated Forks that came out in 2011 and they have been Faultless.

Covered about 5K Miles and done Two weeks in the Alps for the past 4 years, ridden all yesr in the gloop of UK riding and still going strong.

My riding buddy has Pikes and he's on his third set in 6 Months !

As for Brakes, id definately get HOPE,

ok so what happened was I crashed a few months back and went end over end and Initially the bike was fine everything was good but I bent the front brake lever alittle which is no biggie but then the rear brake started leaking mineral oil from the reservoir at the lever (if that makes any sense at all), but i figured that it was just a problem that would be solved when I got the brakes bled (they began to go soft relatively fast after the accident and then one day just stoped working all together so being the squid I am I was like they just need a good ole bleeding!) and once they were taken apart alittle, cleaned then reinstalled and assembled they would be more than fine and the leakiness would be fixed... I was wrong..... They are leaking even more oil now than before and no longer even work due to there being no oil in the reservoir...... So when I pull the brake lever nothing happens and it goes right to the grip with no resistance.... The front brake still works though... Even after 3 years and yes they are the older deore's.... And they were incredible brakes I'm really upset the rear up and up died on me like this..... I don't know where exactly to go due to my lack of funds and my desire for a new bike and once again my outright squidiness Frown Frown

Search for any Shimano lever and replace it, will be cheaper
