I got a RavX shock X pump for Christmas, I tried using it on my Fox 32 Float 29 shock but it does not seem to be pumping it up. If I attach the nozzle onto the Shock valve the air just builds up in the pump and doesnt go through to the shock. I used a RockShox pump on the shock and it worked. So my thinking is that the RavX pump doesnt work on the fox shock. Are the two not compatible with one another? Or is the fitting(The red piece) on the nozzle not long enough to push down the valve of the shock?

I need to replace a set of RockShox that had a high speed accident but I don't want to spend too much as it is soon time to upgrade my MTB. I drove around to a few bike shops but most say 26" is rare to find nowadays and the classifieds also brought up nothing much. Those shops that did carry shox for 26" were upwards of R2,500 Because I have the large frame my steerer tube is 220 mm and only Bridge cycles had an old looking SR Suntour shock for R850 that looked suitable. Should I just get the Suntour or any other places to look in Cape Town Area?

My next upgrade will be a dropper post. I'm looking at the Rockshox reverb. Not knowing a thing about dropper posts, are they as fantastic as people make them out to be, and are they worth the upgrade. What would you suggest in up to 3.5k price range Can anyone tell me the difference between the normal reverb and the stealth model. Any feedback would be appreciated

Hi all mechs...I have searched all over, got the manuals and services docs and have still found nothing that will help me find out what pressure I should have in my new Vivid Air. Sag is set correct at 30% and using recommended 6,3,3 settings but I still feel its "soft" and using full stroke all the time, last thing I want is to bottom out all the time. Even dialled in a few clicks doesn't seem to do the trick. I just want to know what the pressure should be for my weight (90kg). Any tech assistance out there?

Noticed on Momsen's Twitter feed that some of their team bikes are sporting Fox's ICD battery packs. No official word, of course, but it's definitely nearing production and mainstream availability. Battery pack on the Downtube and the unit on the shock is clearly visible. Less so the wiring that connects to the fork. Nice to see a local brand at the forefront of tech For those who don't know what it is, here's a cool article. http://www.pinkbike....in-Earnest.html Lappiere has been running production "El" bikes with RockShox electronic suspension. http://www.bikeradar...27-ei-14-47778/ http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/ost4.jpg

Hi, I would appreciate any advice ... there are a couple of specials at cyclelab that meet my requirements Scott Aspect 910 R9999 Merida big 9 500 R11500 Trek x-caliber 9 R12000 The Trek has rockshox fork xc32 and the others have xc30.

Any advice on which one I should look at getting?

Hi Hubbers, Please help... My MTB was stolen about an hour ago out of the roof rack at my brother's place in Plumstead. Please could you keep an eye out for it.

My raw aluminum PYGA was stolen in Green Point Wednesday night. ZRT Arch wheels, Rock Shox front and rear. R2000 reward offered for it's safe return. Thanks Willem

So according to some clever people I know and also the Rock Shox website I need a yellow spring for my boxxer. Any one of you lot know where's the best place to get me some of these? Or does one of you have some lying around?

So seeing as I was getting a new bike ... I thought it only fair to treat the wife too as she has had her trail bike for a while now and even though it is still like new, I thought she could use some extra travel. So here it is: Frame - 2014 Juliana Futado Primero (Carbon) 650b Ladies Specific (basically the Ladies version of the Bronson) Fork - 2014 Rock Shox Revelation Solo Air 140mm Shock - Fox CTD (something or other - came with the frame) Headset - Cane Creek Bar - 2014 Funn Fatboy Chameleon (Flip paint) 730mm - back-ordered ... will only arrive in Jan Stem - 2014 Funn Strippa 50mm Orange Seat - 2014 SDG Allure Ladies specific Seat Post - Rock Shox Reverb Hubs - Hope Pro 2 Black Rims - ZTR Arch EX 650b tubeless Tyres - Conti Mtn King II Front - X King rear Groupset - XT 3x10

I've jiggered the motion control/compression damper/lockout thing a little bit on my 2009 Rockshox Revelation 426 140mm fork, no problem as I have virtually never used it, problem is its now leaking fork oil out of the top because the seal on the pushlock lever's pivot shaft is vrot and I can't open the cartridge to replace it. Just a word of wisdom from the newly wise - the thread to undo the plastic cartridge from the aluminium cap is lefthand thread - NOT the normal righthand thread..... So what I want to know is can I take out the Motion control/compression damper cartridge and replace it with a blank cap, the cap that would be on the fork if it had no motion control? Would the rebound damper and the fork in general still work fine with no compression damper cartridge installed and just a blank cap? Just an added note - the fork is working 100% as it is, just leaking oil out the pushloc shaft as mentioned. This is the fork

Hey all does anyone know where I can find a replacement for a Revelation motion control knob? My lady friends (knob yes ) seems to have gone walk about during this past weekends Trail Blazer. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/RockShox-Compression-Knob-MoCo-Alum-SID-RLT-09-11-Reba-w-Ext-Gate-Knob-/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/RU8AAOxyg7xSZuiw/$(KGrHqV,!k0FJ,ukpB5!BSZuivjMhg~~60_12.JPG OR if any one has a trashed fork and are willing to part it up, please let me know. Thanks

Greetings hubbers! I am about to hit the button to get myself a Trigon dual sus frame that I will build up over Christmas: Frame + Seatpost + Seatpost Clamp + Stem + Handlebar + Headset + Rock Shox MonarchXX for R21050 (all these items carbon where possible) http://www.trigonsouthafrica.co.za/FullSuspensionMountainBike.aspx Can anyone suggest anything else that would be similar for a similar price for me to consider and perhaps tell me what you think of these bikes too? Many thanks!

I can get both of these shocks at the same price, is one better than the other?

Hi all, I am looking to purchase a new fork. Budget is R5k-R6k on BuyCycle. Currently i am looking at a Reba or SID 29er (if I can get a good deal on one). To date I haven't really lookied at the Fox range, don't know why but they do not really catch my attention as much as RockShox do. From what I have heard I must go full out for the RockShox and avoid Fox. If anyone could recommend which one I should look at it would be much appreciated. Please also enlighten me with the main differences between the two. Regards

I have eventually narrowed down my choice to these two FS bikes, which would you recommend? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience with X Fusion products? I'm looking for a fork for a 650b AM build and the X Fusion Sweep has caught my attention. It's the 650b variation of the Slant (26er) and Trace (29er) forks, both of which seem to get excellent reviews and great owner satisfaction. The biggest complaint about them is availability. The Sweep fared pretty well against the Pike, which seems the be the fork on everyone's most wanted list, in a head to head shootout: http://bikemagic.com...sion-sweep.html The biggest difference is the price really, and with the Pike retailing probably around R11-12k, if there's an option that's nearly as good but not much more than half the price it's worth a second look. It lacks compression adjustment, and only has rebound and lockout, but if you're pretty normally sized maybe the factory tune is good enough. They also do the Hilo seatpost. Any thoughts?

hi guys. I need a bit of help iv got a rockshox reba sl fork and for some reason the spool for the pop lock is very sticky and wont pop back. I have removed the cable and its not that. removed the spool and cleaned all the dirt out yet still same problems. I usually just hit the pop lock and manually pull the cable but this is getting annoying. Iv searched other forums and tried the tricks iv mentioned but no luck, down loaded the manual but does not explain the spool mech. any help will be appreciated

Hi guys. Where can i get hold of a harder spring for my rockshox toro u-turn 289? for like 85kgs and up? Is it worth buying second hand or new rather? If any one has one for sale, Please mail me. Thanks dave
