Any of you guys hitting the Mankele Avalanche? I can't wait to get there

i wish i could make it mankele avalanche. i think it will be an awesome experience. We almost had a mini avalanche on race day during Urban Assault here in the cape, cos they kept everyone on the starting line for almost 30min whilst they decided the format (like huh?). anyways, guys start grumbling and we almost all agreed on the avalanche. Natives getting restless made the organizers pull finger. Pity really

[N0madADV]

I'm there cant wait but its going to be WET WET WET

Hey guys how do you know if your rebound is too high?

 

If I press down and pop up for like a wheelie, my fork shoots outs a bit and makes a bit of a noise... It's not too bad... But ya.

 

Oh. My Junior T is not collaborating nicely with my Avid Codes.

And my Avid Codes aren't collaborating nicely with me.

daniel: you running marzo? if yes, dont worry about the noise, especially if it sounds like liquid gurgling around. Product of the marzo open bath system.

[DownhillingKing]

You just have to understand that Marzo are really noisey fork now if a boxxer was making that noise then there would be a problem

[darnijl]

I know all about the sloshing noise.. haha.. but when it pops out I mean, like a light clang sound

[DownhillingKing]

when last was it serviced

[Capricorn]

ok. clang's are not good. have it checked out. maybe the spring is sticking and popping off it's retainer or something. Only thing i can suck outta my thumb. best to have it checked out.

[Flowta]

Sounds like the rebound. Sounds like it needs a service.

 

Lance at EPIC bike shop can service it for you provided he can get the seals for you. What size are the stantions?

 

Had my Marzocchi All Mountain SL serviced there about 2 weeks ago and it is smooth and the same rebound problem I had is sorted.

[DownhillingKing]

As far as I know a few forks do do that my bro's fork friends suntour.

[Capricorn]

your bro's fork friends suntour. right.

[DownhillingKing]

haha what you lift up off a jump and ga but then I guess those are really entry level forko and FIY there is a specialized demo the freeride one with the fox fork  in for a service right now at the  shop

[DownhillingKing]

Darnijl I will give you R400 for the Monster T
