    I have biked on trails for the last season probably like 20 or so times with a suntour xce fork. While I have only a crappy mongoose bike to compare it to from 15 years ago I am unsure if changing the fork is worthwhile until it is wrecked or not performing. When do you fine people suggest...

    The other day I was looking at a new bike and it seemed like a good bike… seemed very similar to my current bike. Except I noticed it was rocking a dvo onyx d1 sc fork. I don’t know much about dvo. I currently run a 2018 fox 36 preformance fit 4 damper at 170mm of travel. This bike has a dvo...

    I've cut a steerer tube with a pipe cutter and had to file off the end of the steerer in order to round it off so that I can get the stem over it for reassembling. Should I be concerned about the filings which appear to have gotten themselves all over the stanchions and seals. I've wiped and...

    I thought I would share my experience of trying to upgrade the fork on my sons 24 inch mountain bike (on a tight budget). Something I thought would be straight forward but wasn’t. In my case I started with a second-hand Trek Roscoe 24 which I picked up for $300 AUD (Australian Dollars). The...

    Hey all, I have an annoying noise in my Suntour Durolux36 RC-PCS 160mm forks. It doesn't seem to effect performance but damn it gets annoying on the trail. What I'm wondering is if its normal for these resin spacers to be able to move around like this? I don't know if when after adding air to...

    Looking for some advice on upgrades on the roscoe 8. Made the mistake of riding a friends new intense primer mtb around the parking lot after we just got off the trails. The entire feel was different. He's much more into hard downhill stuff so I don't need that type of geometry, but the brakes...

    One of the main things I wanted to see at the Sea Otter Classic this year was DVO Suspension's new Emerald Inverted downhill fork. I've been seeing photos of it on Facebook for a while but Sea Otter was my first chance to see it in person. I can now report that the DVO Emerald is just as sexy in...

    Hi guys, I was in my local bike shop today and was offered a brand new pair of Pace Fighter forks from 2009. I think they have 150mm of travel, look great and are very light. Now they have been hanging around in the shop since 2009 and the price they offered me was £275. I currently run...

    Hi All! I just picked up a 2008 trance 2 (all stock except for the grips) and I am thinking of doing some upgrades. I've sort of fallen into the category of "just switched from a HT to a DS XC bike but now that I am getting the feel for the DS I just want to do more nuts all-mountain riding."...
