SURFER

Also got pinched nerve in left leg. Specialist wanted to operate in Nov. 2010, the left leg much thinner. they will cut from the back and use screws to fuse 3 vertebra's. Problem is when is the right time to go. I have no weakness in leg, only pain. I can cycle (MTB and road) for hours with no pain during and after cycling, only when walking or standing will I get pain. The opertion is always risky, could be worse off after the operation. Currently I first want to do K2C, Seweweeks poort and Hell and Back this year. Will make a desicion in December if the back will last until then.

How does the 70km compare to the 60km Burger MTB. My time was 3h50 for the 60km

I cracked and moved L5 vertebra during cycling accident in 1997. Back has deteriorated so much that I do not walk or stand for long times due to pinched nerve in left leg (cannot walk for 500m without pain). I tied to avoid operation for years, but it seems that my time is coming for fussion of L4, L5 and S1.

Zula faster on any technical surfcae (downhill, flat or uphill) HT faster on jeep(downhill, flat or uphill. Unfortunately more than 60% of my rides is jeep type of track. Above opinion is only a comment, not looking for argument, will never go back to HT

One more owner, Zula Previous had a Scott scale HT. Must say that the Scott was much faster, but will not swop the Zula, way more comfortable and easier on technical stuff.

Now I only need 1 water bottle

You should have entered this year, not years ago. LOL

So what are you saying? If a 40+ guy who has not looked after himself,wants to go surf on the west coast (freezing water), he should not wear a wetsuite, but rather surf in baggies and shirt to hide his boep. I assume that you are < 40 and still in shape. If so, enjoy while it last.

Skipping an air sleeve service could cause some grinding past behind the wiper seal to grind the damper body. Skipping a damper sevice simply causes you to bounce around too much, without any ill effect on the shocks. Thanks

probally stupid question, but what is the "postmount"

Johan I am riding a Rock Shock monarch for almost a year, no problems. I have heard that I only need to service the air sleeve. Interval of service should be every 6 months. Is this true?

Where do you get Motorex?

Problem with MTB is that the chain gets dirty even after one ride. Therefore even if there is still lube on the chain, one needs to clean the chain after every 1-2 rides. In winter it is mud and in summer the dust.

Get yourself shammy cream and use it for every ride. I aslo use Milko balm after each ride. Then spent some money and buy Assos. You will never look back, trust me.

What is the height of your saddle from middle of BB to top of saddle?

What is the specs on your Zula to get it to 10.4 kg?

How old is the free body (year)? Could be bad batch Also running AC since 2008, no problem

Do you want to sell the scott? Price and size?

Trying to get Momsen SL929 frame (M) and fork. Seems that there is no stock. only from August

What is your weight and what pressure is to "low"? I also have AC MTB, weigh 85kg, back wheel pressure at about 2 and front 1.9
