Formula Releases MOD DH Coil Shock
@romainV: unfortunately the lack of service done by the previous owner is the issue- I need a whole new CSU for it… not just seals and oil.

Formula Releases MOD DH Coil Shock
Yeah, I would agree.
I got a used 35 with a bike I bought recently- the service had been neglected and there was significant stanchion wear. Had to just buy a new fork in the end as getting a replacement CSU was very difficult/astronomically expensive.
It's a shame as it's probably one of the smoothest air-sprung forks I've used off the top of its travel. Too bad it's just sitting in a box now...

E*thirteen Announces New Close Range & Wide Range Cassettes
@ethirteen: hi, thanks for reaching out.
I never would have presumed to warranty something like this, so have just been riding it carefully since things started to go wrong. I have filled out the form you linked.
Thanks again.

E*thirteen Announces New Close Range & Wide Range Cassettes
While a cool concept (and the parts were available during the pandemic when I needed a new cassette), the design seems to end up being weaker in one particular way than other Shimano and SRAM cassettes I've used.
The third largest cog is pretty much unsupported and I've found that it bends easier than I would expect. I've had to bend it back a few times (the first bend obviously weakened the material), but I now shift very gingerly in and out of that cog in an effort to extend the life of the steel cluster.
Just a note from my experience- other's will have different opinions and experiences I am sure.

Riding that Maxxis rubber like it's free... oh, wait.
Beautiful showcase of some of what Squamish has to offer.
