Damn, tactical advantage for footdown.

Hell yea!

This looks dope - I like it as a better alternative to shaving the tabs, cause you never know when you may want those tabs again.

Exactly it's a 160mm fork what if I wanna put it on a free ride rig

nouser (Dec 10, 2013 at 13:04)

Just don't pull a Semenuk and get your leg mangled in there.

hendu (Dec 10, 2013 at 13:31)

That would be brutal.

hendu (Dec 10, 2013 at 6:59)

Read the description.

hwipwill (Dec 10, 2013 at 7:14)

Good call.

hendu (Dec 10, 2013 at 7:23)

Yup they make me go fast.. or at least I assume they do.

hwipwill (Dec 10, 2013 at 7:24)

Aerodynamics. That's why you're going really fast. How's the fork working out?

hendu (Dec 10, 2013 at 7:26)

No clue I don't have a driver right now so I haven't ridden it. I'v dialled it in as much as I can by just playing around with it tho.

hwipwill (Dec 10, 2013 at 7:29)

If I had a Talas 36 that was stuck at 160mm could you put it back to 100mm, or a 831 that's at 85mm back to 100mm? I have those options for forks but both need stuff done to them.

hendu (Dec 10, 2013 at 7:31)

Have they been lowered or are they f*cked up and stuck?

dkidd (Dec 10, 2013 at 16:18)

hwipwill, you shouldn't run a talas fork lower than full travel for extended periods of time; damages the internals. Go 831.

Also, nice one, Hendu.

hwipwill (Dec 10, 2013 at 16:28)

Oh. Wanted 36 but guess it's 831 for me.

dkidd (Dec 10, 2013 at 16:28)

you could just rip out the talas guts and put in a float cartridge...

hendu (Dec 10, 2013 at 16:47)

That's what I did lol.
