    Slight highjack. Has anybody tried the Maxxis Shorty? The official description is "A mid-spike for loose or slightly muddy conditions; more versatile than the WetScream". I would like to know if it will be suitable for dryer conditions as well.

    In order of 'toughness' regarding casings: Schwalbe: Performance Maxxis: Non-EXO TR Schwalbe: Snakeskin TL Easy Maxxis: EXO/TR Schwalbe: Super Gravity Maxxis: DD (Double Down) On top of that, Schwalbe and Maxxis offer selected tires in DH casing, My advice would be to get a faster rolling but tougher (Super Gravity/DD) tire for the rear like Rock Razor, Nobby Nic, Aggressor, Ardent, DHR II.... And then a lighter casing grippy tire for the front (Snakeskin/EXO) like Magic Mary, Hans Dampf, DHF, High Roller, or even Onza Ibex or Citius

    They will be using the C-Quent, which is the 'user friendly' version of the Inline. Hopefully it will be more reliable.

    But you can get the conversion kit separately, thru axle drop outs and axle. Will set you back about 1k.

    Nope, no luck there, nobody I know is going overseas any time soon, will have to wait a bit.

    Awesome! From where if I may ask? I have been looking for the same shoes but got told only the black/grey ones will be brought in.

    I have a Maxxis High Roller 2.5 x 26 DH tire you can have for the price of a six pack. Not sure of compound etc, will have to check.

    I had the the Ibex up front and I am currently running the 2015 NN. Cornering wise, the Ibex takes it. The NN is not bad in corners, but the Ibex is just that much better. Rolling resistance seems pretty much the same between the two, but I have to agree with North Shore, the casing on the NN does feel more sturdy when carving hard at lower pressures. I found I had to run run the Ibex at higher pressures than the NN, but even then I felt the Ibex corners better. I guess its up to personal preference though.

    Check evobikes.co.za, they might have what you are looking for. Not sure how the price compares to your LBS.

    A buddy of mine has the Rage knee and elbow pads. Although they offer great protection, he mentioned they are a bit to bulky for long days on the bike and long climbs. I use the IXS Flow pads, really comfy, after a while I forget about them and they don't move or slip down at all.

    Hello I currently have a 26" Reba with 120mm travel. I would like to get a fork with more travel, 140mm, and thru axle dropouts such as Revelation. But lately it seems like it’s a lot easier finding a 27.5 version of the fork than a 26" version, and this got me thinking. Would it be possible to run a 27.5" fork on 26” bike? So looking at axle to crown lengths below: Rev 150 26" Axle to Crown Length: 528mm Rev 150 27.5 Axle to Crown Length: 539mm Reb 120 26" Axle to Crown Length: 493mm If you space a 150mm 27.5" Rev down to 140mm the A to C should be 529mm right? The difference between a 26" Reb 120 and a 27.5" Rev 140mm should 36mm, would this make a huge difference to handling? The bike has currently got a 68deg head angle, what would the head angle be with a 27.5" 140mm fork? Lastly, think it will look weird?

    Hello I need some feedback regarding trail/enduro helmets. (can’t find the previous threads about this) I currently have a Giro Xar and before that I had a Fox Flux. Both great helmets but it’s time for a replacement. The issue is that I have had a look on some online sites, which do have some of the helmets which I like but just like shoes, gloves, shorts etc, I like to fit before I buy and this is not possible with online shops. So, here is a list of the helmets I have been looking at, any feedback regarding where one can go an try them out (in and around JHB) and what your personal experience is with a helmet will help a lot. TLD A1 (I read somewhere they get n bit hot?) iXS Trail Catlike Leaf Fly Racing Freestone MET Koas UL and Parabellum POC Trabec Additionally: Kali Chackra ETTO not sure of model Bell Super Giro Stealth 661 Specialized Vice Any others you can think of?

    Which Scott Spark do you have? The 26" versions (as of 2012) have a longer shock than the 29" versions. On the 26ers the shock measures 190mm eye to eye with a 50mm stroke. Also, you might need to get the correct mounting hardware. I replaced my DT Swiss with a Fox unit and its thee best thing I could have done. I removed the lockout levers as I didn't really use them and I don’t miss them at all.

    I don't think its a normal allen key. I have same on my Spez shoes and I almost sure you need a T6 Torx bit/tool. They are pretty easy to find.

    The ultimate would be to get a bike which is more trail orientated by design, something the Epic will never be. But, there are a couple if things you could to help a bit. I believe the Epic Comp comes with a Reba fork? If so, you should be able to extent the travel of the fork form 100mm to 120mm. Then look at getting a wider bar with perhaps more of a rise and a shorter stem. Get some wider, more aggressive tires.
