@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

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

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

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

Interesting topic- was looking at the HC97. I actually liked the RC2 w/C1, found it to be compliant off the top but super sensitive to tire pressure.  Here's my setup that I used across the shore/fraser valley and Sea2sky for a 185 lbs rider

2 tokens
Air pressure- 78 to 80 psi
HSC 1-2 from open
LSC 3-4 from open
Rebound 8 from closed
Yes I know all settings should be from closed- but its easier for my old brain to remember

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
