In Israel, where I live. Sheeep Suspension Laboratory - by far one of the best and well-known in Israel. Anyone who has a clue in bikes is his customer. The guy is complete suspension genius - he developes stuff, he knows how to dial any fork and any shock on any bike to top notch. He even makes rebuild and oil seal kits for all kind of shocks that allow to anyone with some technical sense to tune their suspension to Push level by themselves. Besides, he is a really nice person, which makes him more valuable.

My issue now with Fox is really about their business conduct.
The new units may well be a load better but for three or four years they would deny that there was an issue only to later issue a recall or statement talking about the new and improved next years models. Fair enough however Fox gear is expensive, customers deserve better. I t seems to me that the PR dept has been running fox for a while rather than engineering.
The Vector air blows everything away that I have tried on this bike. And up front, the BOS Deville and Vengeance HLR Air are so demonstrably superior over fox 34's and 36s (coil and air) that it is almost embarrassing. I loaned my BOS to a mate on a fairly stock HD and he wouldn't give them back - forced me to sell them to him.
So why am I down on FOX? Because we simply have not been given a fair deal on what are expensive premium products. The result is simple - look at the market traction that RS Pike has got and it would appear it is almost all at the expense of Fox

Just took 4 weeks to get my buddies shock back from local importer due to shock losing all its dampening, std ctd shock, which was covered under warranty, good on them for sticking buy that even though it was just a month over the 1 yr period, issue was the time it took, 4 weeks no bike, same excuse I been hearing for last 2 years held up with back warranty issues on the Talas forks, just overwhelmed by it.

Std LBS fix here is to offer Float internals upgrade, lol, my other ride buddy is getting his POS Talas 36 worst fork I've ever ridden on, redone this way, if it wasn't so cheap $250 we'd be ditching the whole thing faster than Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus.

Only been telling him for 2 years it shouldn't work as bad as it does, and he gets this thing reserviced faster than Miley and Justin as well, btw, every ride I ask him I like a stiff feeling fork and you're 180lbs, I'm 200lbs and I couldn't ride that thing that stiff WTF, no wonder you crash so much, usual conversation on one of our rides, must add this has caused him a fairly aggravating shoulder injury that affects every ride, now I've made him faster running proper sag, still blows mid-stroke arse though, just have to keep him off a Vengeance:p or make him ride a 29er:rolleyes:.

This has probably been posted elsewhere and while these reviews are just a guide I don't take allot of stock on them to be honest, I like to try for myself, its interesting the tester if he had to buy either himself after riding on on the the toughest bike parks around Europe choose the Sweep. I personally love both these forks would love both haha.

Hey Mav, thanks mate!.

Yep its in Whitford at the bottom of the Grim Raker trail. Would be great to catch up for a ride sometime. I try to get down to Vegas once a month or so. I'm actually thinking of moving down there.

Thats the trail, loved that trail, used to swim the dog they're on my rides, Whitty is an awesome little network, very under rated by most Jaffas lol the Woodpoo die hards haha.

Dont think it, do it, though starting to be more Jaffas here than Rotovegans, thats a worry! But we will welcome you buddy!
what area ya thinking of, town belt or outta town with a lifestyle block for a pump track?

Hi guys. Is there anybody with KS Lev seatpost? I need some help to make sure if it will be not to high for me. Could you please push the seatpost as low in the frame as possible and take the length of the Lev from the seatpost clamp to seat rails? And BTW, it would be good to know what's the travel of your Lev :) Thanks in advance.

hi everyone,

heres my new build in the black forest this weekend for the first uplift this year.

2012 mojo hd 160 medium,
cane creek db air cs,
burgtec titanium offset shock bush,
rockshox pike 160 with silk graphics inside out cos they looked bland,
works components 1 degree headset,
xt, x9, e thirteen gears soon to add a general lee cassette adaptor,
all black 2014 ks lev 125,
kash money race face atlas bars, ouri grips,
zee brakes, xt discs with gold bolts,
crossmax sx wheelset,
muddy mary front, hans dampf rear tubeless.

steering is a bit slow and wanders off at slow speeds since i put the works headset in, thinking maybe swapping the 50mm stem to a 40mm or something might sort the low speed issues.

thanks for looking.
