I weigh about 120 (I'm 15) and run about 50-60 depending on the terrain

yeah, when was lower bath changed last. do it now if you don't know!! is your compression circuit and rebound wide open?
you may need to eat some sammiches too
sammiches, or rocks in the fanny pack

I guess. Yeah since i'm light it's harder for the fork to accommodate to my weight. The lower bath was last changed about a season ago. I depressurized the chambers and that seemed to do the trick. I have yet to ride it though.

I'm planning on rebuilding my reverb myself. The two specialty tools that I need are the RockShox vise block inserts (3-hole), and the RockShox Oil Level Adjuster. Instead of buying the rockshox vise block could I instead use a park tool av-5? As for the oil level adjuster is there any way to get around it?
Thanks, Alex

I suppose, but I got a full service on it just one season ago. How often do I need to replace seals and oil then?

The oil every 30 hours riding is recommended.
Seals when they leak or if your feeling like it’s been too long!

Presumably you're talking about a stealth version?

10mm shaft clamp us what you need. Oil height tool is hackable, I just measure a bit of tube.

Using a QR axle with singlespeed dropouts - can I use any old chain tugs or do I need special ones with a thinner hole for the qr?
Just asking cos on-one sell both but the qr one is more expensive :/

230x65mm shock + offset hardware on a Santa Cruz Nomad v4?
I was wondering if anyone’s had experience with this combination or at least could predict the consequences. Apparently a 65mm stroke shock on regular hardware can cause the lower link to strike the frame so could this be a solution?

Double Post: What's everyones favourite tubeless sealant at the moment? Been using Stans race but it's drying out in 3 months and not sealing small pinhole punctures.

Thinking of moving to either Orange or Peatys?

Orange race. Works loads better than Stan's.
