HQ Tour: Suspension Tech International's NZ-Made Coil Shock
@JohanG: "Dual stage compression damping on the main piston for progressive response from small trail chatter to large jumps" sounds like it might be HBO, although it could also just be a split stack.

KS Teases Inverted Enduro Fork - Taipei Cycle Show 2023
What are you even talking about? I’ve had 3 KS droppers, and they were all great. Zero issues with any of them. Pretty easy to service and get replacement parts too. Rockshox on the other hand has a reputation of making some of the most horribly unreliable droppers on the market for years until fairly recently.

@bkm303: Definitely seems more like a hand pump alternative than a CO2 alternative, and from that perspective, it's not a very good one given the battery life limitation.

Wheels are used, but the rear rim is a brand new warranty replacement. Lots of little cosmetic scratches but no cracks and tons of life left in them. Freshly trued and ready to ride.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You Satisfied With Your Brakes?
The inconsistent bite point problem seems to be pretty exclusive to Shimano brakes. If it is due to a poor bleed, then why don't other brands have the same issues? That would seem to indicate there's a problem with Shimano's bleed kit or bleed procedure that needs to be addressed.

Pinkbike Poll: Are You Satisfied With Your Brakes?
Lots of Magura lovers. Anybody know how to quiet them down? I have MT7s on my Repeater, and my girlfriend has them on hers as well and HC3s on her enduro bike. All 3 of them are some of the noisiest brakes I've ever ridden. They almost always squeak regardless of how cold and wet or hot and dry the conditions are. Tried cleaning the rotors and cleaning the stock pads. Wondering if I maybe need to swap out the pads or rotors to something else to quiet them down.
I'm also tempted to just swap them out for some Codes or maybe try some Dominions. The Maguras feel great, but they're noisy and the bleed kit is pretty cheap and finicky. It's also difficult to align the calipers. If you watch closely, they move to the side quite a bit as you tighten the bolts. It's pretty frustrating.
