lol close... we're friends... we live within 2 km of each other. we've been to the same schools for the past 7 years...

Oh, just a word of warning. Keep an eye out on that blackspire chainring gaurd. The lower pulley hangs really low and forward. It's the last thing that get's bashed over an obstacle before the rear tire hooks up so it loosens up after a few hard rides. Just be sure to loctite it when it loosens up the first time. No biggie.

DylanTremblay

Ok, thanks for the warning...I'll keep an eye on it!

What's with the ziptie on the left stanchion?

Better places to tie up your brake line my friend...

FF 6800

the ziptie is to see hwo much travel you're using, or you can use it to measure sag while setting up your bike.

cryptid01

You ought not be so judgemental when you have such a limited realm of experience.

Defiance

It just looked like the ziptie was being used to tie up the brake line, and say the fork bottoms out and the brake line could get pinched or bent or something.

Then please, what is your recommendation for a place to tie up the brake line?

DylanTremblay

Yeah the ziptie is only there for a bit till I get the right sag and air pressure in the fork for my kind of riding...I think I got it down finaly but couple more runs and a few tweaks and it will be perfect!

Defiance

Sweet. Is it infact holding the brake line or do my eyes fail me?

Hank Rearden

If your realm of experience wasn't so limited you wouldn't ask that question.

DylanTremblay

No its not holding the brake cable. Weird angle kinda makes it look like that.

Defiance

Hank, I have no doubt that you know what you're talking about, but your bad reputation would get much better if you used that intelligence to help people. You're not very nice otherwise. My realm of experience is limited, and I hope to change that, and we've all got to learn sometime. You did, gastro did, and everyone else did. I'm sure you had much more respect for the people that helped you then the people that tried to insult you.

Thanks, that makes much more sense now

Hank Rearden

You're assuming that I care about what you think of me. Your bad.

You could avoid these situations if you refrained from posting about subjects that you are particularly uninformed about.

Ranzak

Congratulations!!

Defiance

I'm just going to end this before it starts.

Just a little side note here. I don't know much and never tried to fool others by pretending I do. Hank has helped me in the past as well as the NC guys and LowCel among others. None of them have been rude to me.

I myself have tried to not hurt anyone's feelings on here but there are times when you and Jason got together and ganged up on me, Pheard and some noobs. Not to be a brat but......

Welcome to my world.

Hank Rearden

How bizarre.

You already "started it" when you gave out horrible advice based upon a fundamental lack of knowledge about mountain biking.

If you want to avoid more embarrassment, heed my advice and resist the apparently overwhelming urge that you have to post about subjects about which you know very little.

Good luck.

mtnbiker66

Wow....props to the NC crew?? You must be getting soft.

never

True, everyone does have to learn but your tone did not convey that...if you had left out your second line, your question would have been answered and you would have learned something.



BTW Dylan, sweet bike...have fun with it! It looks like that is what I'll be riding for the Fall Forum Ride.

Defiance

Then I appoligize for that. My mistake was due to the fact that it looked like that the brake line was being held by the ziptie. I was corrected, and I did learn something then but I have not gone back to my misinterpretation of the image and I think it's unfair for Hank and others to hang on that.

DylanTremblay

Thanks for the complements and thanks for adding a little drama to my thread also

Siu Blue Wind

Ahhhh you know I've always looked up to you guys........

trevor

Do you think someone could explain the ziptie thing to me? I mean how is it measureing your travel? does the fork push it up to where the travel ends when you hit bumps or what? thanks guys. Oh ya that bike is so awesome. I defantly like the 06's better than the new 07's (ick)
