No idea if this is a good innovation or not- but kudos to Canyon for doing things that others wont consider doing-  (Shapeshifter) #sheep4life

Great review @ Tim

The one thing I notice the more and more I ride- My Opinion below

I can only use wool or Tencel based gear- anything polyester retains funk for ever

I prefer to not look like a walking banner for a brand-maybe its just me, but plain or small logos- understated gear works best for me

Very tempted to dive in- I have some Ergons, does that mean I would hack the Ergon logo off and fit the CPs? Do you know if anyone has successfully done so? be a waste of a grip to try

Your exp is 1:1 what I went through and experienced with these pads.  Coming from RF loam pads I was concerned with the lack of bulk..but the comfort of these far exceeded my expectations

@CQuinn- what did you do outside of adjusting roll on your install? did you adjust any of your headset spacers?

Thanks Tim- its a tough call for sure- there are days we all have that bigger bikes are better and days were smaller bikes are better

I guess the only way to really know is n+1 and ride the sh*t outta both

Any thoughts/comparisons on how it rides against the Carbon Sentinel?

Climbing? Descending?

For me the Sentinel is the perfect bike: all day pedals, pedals like a smaller bike, good for shuttles and the odd day at the bike park. In the back of my head, I keep thinking that more travel might be better..but better for what

I tested out running my fork at 170mm, but found the extra A2C height /HA or 62 degrees made it feel super choppered/sluggish

Boot and glove dryer at the Costco for $65

Transition has been knocking it out of the part for a while

I've been on there V2 Sentinel and have been loving it.  The new Spire makes me drool, esp in the purple color

Im a sucker for good technical riding gear, esp for our wet weather rides.  Thanks for the reviews

If you have a spare wheel, tossing that in might test “hub play or frame play” pretty effectively.

Yah I did the spare wheel test and it sat nice and tight. So must be something with the new hub bearings, either a faulty bearing or not pressed in completely. Will take it apart and reassemble when I get a chance.

Did you ever solve this issue? if so, what was the fix?

I've tried of couple of the lower cost non-oem options

• Loam Goats- no bite when cold, faded easily, felt like they got contaminated easily- were SUPER noisy- think Double the sound of OEM metallic

• Basic Bike CO- good cold bite, less prone to fade- were noisy- think equal to OEM metallic

• OEM sram- better than BBC- but I ended up picking up bulk pads @$15 or $20 a pair and just reuse the hardware

Is it a change of riding style or location?

Has your riding progressed to the point that you're outriding or under riding your bike?

Or is it the latest Geo or Gimmick that gets you going?

I've been on my current bike for 2+ seasons and I went to the bike shop to look at bikes...and to my surprise I walked out thinking the current bike that I have fits everything that I need it to do...

I've had great experiences with Fluid Function. I read they opened up a shop in Vancouver, but I recall it was only for bike shops sending it in, no direct consumer service.

Yup- me too, the guys up there are great

Oh too bad about the Sram service center

I recall there was a post or news about an official Sram service center opening up on the shore? are they doing servicing like FOX?

What are the good places to get servicing done for a Fork?

Dunbar, Fluid function, ...???

Does LTP do servicing at their POCO location?

Yes they do, but they need to get sent in through an live to play dealer

I def feel it when Im grinding up a gravel road. When I lock out, the rear of the bike sit higher in the travel,  which makes it more comfortable for me to pedal. Unlocked has me sitting lower in the travel- feeling choppered out

I didn't watch the video as I dont care how fast I am uphill

Thanks for all the great ideas- off to the LBS to see whats in stock

With the wet weather upon us, I've started to realize that my regular riding gloves and hands need some help

I've been looking at the getting a dedicated pair of wet weather gloves vs the latex gloves under the glove mod

Any input from the hive would be appreciated, from what I've found so far

100% brisker for cold/damp days

100% brisker hydromatic for downpours

Any other suggestions?

Got a ride down 7th and espresso last night, 120psi, 2 tokens, open hsc/lsc, rebound 3 clicks from closed.

I have a digital pump inbound, last night's ride made it evident that is a must. It was on the firm side (I intentionally went firmer than necessary so that I can dial it back from there), but I can tell incrementally lowering the pressure accurately is going to be important and my analog pump won't cut it.

I'm about 215 with gear, 100psi was way low. 120 is too much, but not a tonne. I am guessing it'll be 115ish or maybe 110 with some hsc/lsc dialed in.

Still drastically more than rock shox recommends but if it works, it works...

Sounds like things are getting closer for you!

If it were me, I would 

open rebound 1 click

add 1 click of HSC 

add 2-3 of clicks of LSC 

go with 105psi
