All the Adjustments: Formula Introduces the Selva R Fork

I have installed neopos in Pike and it certainly behaves differently, I would say it works a bit better (Iused to have 0, 1 and 2 token setups before). I have even had to adjust rebound a bit, so It's true that it changes air spring behaviour.

All the Adjustments: Formula Introduces the Selva R Fork

@rideformula: I understand that you refer to acceleration time, but I doubt (although I have no measurements to support this, you should come up with those) it has much influence. I mean, the fork seems to get up to speed extremely quickly when you hit something.

@rideformula: Your graphs shows a plot of speed vs force. No travel to be seen there ...

First Look: Nukeproof ARD Tire Inserts

@max1131: fr570 + dhr 2 Exo. But its's only about technique. Just like when you put it on, you need to push the tire away from you, then pressing it move towards, the core will then twist and you will be able to squish tire under the cushcore.

First Look: Nukeproof ARD Tire Inserts

@Balgaroth: Maybe the difference is in brand, I ride Maxxis and of course tried lowering pressure but still It was bouncing like crazy compared to EXO.

First Look: Nukeproof ARD Tire Inserts

DH casing gives much harsher ride, so it really depends where you ride. I typically ride on natural trails consisting mostly of rocks and roots and using an EXO vs DH makes a VERY noticeable difference (at least on an enduro bike, I guess that things get different on a DH monster with coil suspension).

First Look: Nukeproof ARD Tire Inserts

@catweasel: I am using cushcore on my trail bike and I have yet to puncture. However, I had to change tire recently and it took me 5 minutes and 1 plastic tire lever to remove the tire and cushcore, so it would be perfectly possible to fit a tube on the trail (I wonder if that would make sense since you can ride it flat anyway). If you know how, mounting/removing cushcore is rather easy. My only problem with cushcore is the price.

Review: Fox 36 GRIP2 vs. RockShox Lyrik RC2 Fork

Fork lockout is the most useless thing on 120mm+ full suspension bike ever invented. It almost never helps, except when you sprint standing on the bike, provided that you also have rear end lockout. Otherwise locking a fork actually makes you front end ride higher and put more weight on the rear, which actually compromises climbing.

First Ride: Specialized's New Turbo Levo FSR

@FuzzyL: Exactly, my father is 68 and he rides regularly in real mountains, no need for an e-bike.
