  1. ok yes I know whcih race that is ? I know you can enter the reserve and I wonder if people are riding there and if it is safe to ride there ?
  2. yes where the Army has a spot ............how far can you ride in there .ANy details on the race?
  3. Has any one cycled here or is it allowed at all ?
  4. shucks I feel a bit like an idiot checked it out the lever falls back into the opening so that it can be tightened so its fine now . I could not understand how to tighten the bloody thing with my hands its seemend impossible
  5. I have a silverback storm 1 and I see there is a little bit of play on the front wheel . When I hold the steering bar and move the wheel from side to side there is about 2mm of play .Shoudl it not be tight? I checked the spacers between the hub and the fork is seated correct. The axle is hand tightened to the max .No tool to make it tighter . Is this normal?
  6. jip very new to this ...............but thanks got it
  7. I acutally found the answer on a website its the air in the pump that I hear escaping not the shock air so its not an issue
  8. So I got a shock pump today and I am wondering...... the pump inlet screws onto the valve and then a second knob must be turned to open the valve and let the air in.( Its liek a little secondary turning knob that has a pin that opens the valve) I pump it see the pressure but then when I undo the knob to stop the air from going in/coming out I hear a little air escape. Because the air pressure is so high I wonder if when I read the pressure this air that escapes contirbutes to that reading and that means when I undo the knob and I hear air going out the actual reading is then less. When I use the air outlet knob its so sensative you just touch it and the PSI drops by 10-20 psi . I am just wondering when I read is it really that accurate once I undo the pump .If a little air escapes the reading drops Any case that is what logic tells me.

  11. thanks ......I will have a look on the shock . I did see the air inlet on the one side . Sag I understand if I sit on the bike the red rubber should be on 20% marking is that correct ? I bought form Cape town so it was couriered to me .I am sure if I phone the shop they will assist just though Id post the question here
  12. I just got my silverback Storm 1 and wondering about the setting on the fork. I see some marks and numbers on the fork. What are they for and how do I set the fork up correct . I took it for a ride and no serious bumps ride and the little red rubber ended up around 20mm form the top of the fork so not sure if its hard enough?
