Had a Leatt MTB 4.0 Enduro V21 that I just got rid of due to sizing issues.  Coming from a Bell Super DH- I had the same issues and thoughts as the reviewer around Turbine pads and the chinbar- it feels awkward and clumsy

The sizing for me was off as well, Im a large in the Bell but couldn't get the Leatt large to sit comfortably on my head

The last reason, which has nothing to do with the performance or fit...sans chin guard its an ugly helmet

Who's seen these in local shops?

Would luv to get my hands and eyes on one of these- anyone know who/where has these on hand in the LML?

Very recently bought a set of Hex keys- non bike specific.  Used them the a couple of times so far and coming from Husky tools can definitely see the value in these

Too many words and not enough pictures: what's the TL DR of your story?

@Pete- Have any thoughts on this jacket vs the Patagonia Dirt Roamer?

Great review @Deniz Merdano!  Any thoughts of the Brisker(?) gloves you're wearing

Thanks Pete, that's great clarification for us who love NSMB and the reviews that the team does..esp AJ

I trust AJ (and NSMB) reviews, as they reflect my real world experiences.

Your review of the V1 and V2 Sentinel is exactly my same on bike exp

Thanks again and keep up the great work

Not sure if you mentioned it in the review above- I skimmed

@AJ Barlas: Did you pay for a portion of these products? or were all of them provided as products to review?

At 1/3 the cost of the fork, does it offer 30% better performance?  IE will riders who are under/over forked get the benefits of this? or is this really a racebred product

Timely post- I just swapped out my DHR2 for another one in the rear and was thinking about when I would swap my front...Have a DHF ready to replace an Assegai (THE SHOCK) around the Nov timeframe

Ive never bought a fork to replace a fork that was already on my bike...knock on wood

Dude, this is your third thread essentially asking the same question. They're tires. Just buy some.

HAHAHAH RIGHT?

Take the plunge- its not like your bike will stop working because of your tires......and if you really dont like it go and sell it on Pinkbike and get a different one

Run and Assegai up front- lose all of the front end vague, gain all the slow roll

No disrespect to the history and work that Digger has done- but the man needs help with his logo and designs- When I see it, all I can see is Tribal tattoos.  Maybe thats the attraction to it?

totally unrelated to your question- but where are you thinking about buying these from?

Im looking for EX511 and am seeing with the bump in cdn $, that US retailers are looking better.  Queue the LBS MOB

I bought the EX511 from my LBS.

Hahaha

I reached out PNW and received a reply back from Nathan. Speaking with Nathan he mentioned that they have Loam levers that are going on 4 years of constant use with no signs of wear on the rubber pad. He also said they totally hear my concerns about the mount and will be incorporating those ideas into a future design. We talk about other stuff not pertaining to the lever but PNW as a company and I am really stoked on what they try to do as a company. All their packaging uses as little plastic as possible and is recyclable cardboard. We didn't talk about the life time warranty but I just read that they launched that. So as a whole they have a great vision. Nathan was awesome and a true professional. 

While I am not a huge fan of the Loam levers current mounting configurations, I am a fan of the Loam lever itself. It has a smooth feel and the pad is nice as I don't wear gloves. I have mounted the lever with the 22.2mm bar mount on the outside of my brake mount. The lever feels great and looks awesome. With all the rain I only have one ride on the lever. I will post again when I have more time with the lever. 

The Loam grips that I got with the lever have been awesome. I have a few more rides with them as I mounted them right away. I have ridden them in dry weather with no gloves, misty foggy weather with no gloves and they have been awesome. All the sipes in the gripmake them work awesome with no gloves. The grips have been awesome so far. I have yet to do any long rough lift days to see how good they dampen high frequency vibration.

did the Loam lever remove any of the stiffness of the O/U dropper lever? or has that remained the same?

As others have said, its super easy to do.  I just did mine for the first time on my new bike and I had a few observations

1) the oil in the air side was much blacker that the damper side on mine- dont think it matters but it was noticeable

2)  I picked up an R/S aircan and Rock Shox SKF Seal Upgrade Kit from Dunbar and the air can rebuild kit came with Dynamic grease seal  and SKF seal kit came with 2 sets of foam rings and 2 sets of crush washers

3) I used WPL oil and so far- 2 rides in, I cant feel the difference

Any Vancouverites frequenting Costco these days? Seen any merino this year yet?

Thanks!

Bought two shirts from the Willingdon Costco yesterday. $22 a piece.

Nice- will head to POCO Costco and look for these

Did you see all the colors there?
