i'm dangerously close to finishing building my SS MTB. i'm going to pick up a chain tensioner tomorrow (better yet, anyone have one they want to trade?) and set up the brakes, throw some grease in the heasdset and blamo! i'm off to the trails.

are any of you bike shop guys good with suspension forks? i've never owned one before but the forks i have now feel a little sticky. i dunno; i'll take any help i can get.

that's it? i thought you were trying to help...

Thanks! That will. :)

Watch out for the mumps

What make and model of fork is it?
On another happy note the first big shipment of IRO stuff is coming in tomorrow. This will be the last I have to deal with UPS (YAY!) as we are setting up our own customs broker and shipping so no more ridiculous fees from UPS. We are now not only an "official" dealer but also the Eastern Canadian distributor of everything IRO. Thanks for the Customs hook-up Duppy!!

WOO!

I think I may stop in for this week's safety meeting just to have a beer and say goodbye to the headaches of that situation. Glad to hear that weight's off your back, CM.

nice one!! no probs for hookups...hope thats gonna do the job!

Mike isnt Gears of war the current title everyones playing now?

they just announced a september 25 launch of halo 3 but that won't help you in the mean time.

Hopefully it wont be as disappointing as Halo 2. What a let down after the first one.

hey you got to shoot 2 guns at once though!!!

btw, what have you got in the way of rear cantis? I was going to pick up an avid shorty 4 but I was informed that the latest shimano cantis are really nice and pretty reasonable. They are the Shimano BR-R550 Deluxe Cantis. Also can I bring my bike and drivetrain in tomorrow at lunchtime?

The only good thing about it. Its still a good deathmatch game to play against yer friends and online, but the rest of it was lame.

I have only cheap *****mano cants on hand right now. They are decent if you replace the stock pads with good pads but perhaps a little cheezy for the pimpin' ride. I will look around and see what I have in the way of good older ones. You can bring in yer bike anytime that suits you....get it?..."suits" you...you work in a bank...."suits you"......hahahahaha.... O.K....I admit it...that sucked. As you were.

Marzochi "bomber". about 2001 or so. probably not a high end fork, but if i can save it, all the better. i'd love to replace it with a suspension-corrected rigid fork. do you stock such a beast?

Keith....how's the eye doin'?

That's great to hear - congrats.

How about Nitto stuff? Can you get Nitto?

The Bomber can be re-built...cost would be about $150 for new seals, bushings and oil. For a sus corrected rigid I would suggest a Kona P2. They can be had for around $100. A very nice fork.

Its getting better. I am loving the lack of sunshine today. Sun+scratched cornea=a very grumpy cavernmech. I put on an eyepatch for 20 minutes at a time and this helps me greatly....YARRRR!!

Well right now I am only carrying the Nitto stuff from IRO...123's are about it. In a week or so when the brokerage is all set up I will be doing regular orders from EAI...home of many things pimpin'. What in particular were you lookin for?
3 posts in a row.....YAY!

perfect timing as the Pirates of the caribbean 3 is coming out...

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
;)

Yo Keith...

Assuming I ever get a job, I'll be by for IRO goodies...

Damn straight c avernmech. **** UPS.

Cavern you've made me all sorts of happy. I'll be by sometime today to discuss build particulars with you. Now i'm school boy giddy.
