The Tallcan are great for their antifog, but the lenses scratch so easily!!! I was so careful cleaning the lenses and after 6 rides, they're scratched to the point of poor optics now.

Ryder states this is normal? I'll never buy anything thing from them again!

I tried the Mudhuggers front and back, the front didn't keep much more mud off compared to small ones most people use and the rear portion of the front fender would catch the treads on harder hits. The rear fender I just couldn't get used to......it looks dorky and I constantly had to check that it wasn't wearing through the frame protection were it attached to the seat stay. Piece of inner tube worked the best.

I see the RRP is flanged up on the rear portion on the front fender, that looks like a better design, wouldn't get caught in the treads and catch the spray better. What RRP rear fender like? Is it effective for spray?

I installed the Debonair C1 "upgrade" sealhead/footnut on my 2020 Lyrik Ultimate, it now supportive in the initial stroke. NSMB did a review on it recently, and was a factor in me getting one. Totally happy with my Lyrik now!

I have the Sight A1 XL, which comes with a 200mm dropper. I'm 6'2" and 5mm is exposed from being slammed. Also the post is 34.9mm diameter, so it feels very solid.

Fox Burnaby or Suspension works are the only place i would take my Fox suspension if I wasn't doing it myself.

Thanks for the clarification!

Does suspensionwerx still do fox bikes? I thought they inky did moto.

Suspensionwerk's definitely does mtb suspension (Fox, Helm, Ohlins, and others I can't remember)

Don't try to service it, don't take it apart, don't do anything except contact Fox or your local bike shop to have it sent in under warranty.

I was a tech at the Fox distro in Vancouver before they moved to their own distro and the amount of forks I had to correct shoddy work on and then tell them that damaged internals from improper service is not warranty was way too high... just get it done right at the proper service center.

I'm confused, which one is the proper service center? Fox out in Burnaby? Or is that one doing the shoddy work?

To get a prescription Oakley Jawbreakers, it'll be a little shy of $700!! And they look a bit different.

Going a difference direction for eyewear...

Thanks guys, that's helpful.

Hey Vikb and RAHrider, what lens type did you guys get? Photochromic? Prizm?

Legally I can drive without glasses, but I didn't realize how my vision had slowly deteriorated......damn 50's!

They say you are supposed to look down the trail and not right in front of your tire. I have no problem with that. I can't focus on anything closer than 5' away these days. ;-)

I'm probably going to get Rx glasses at some point or contacts for riding. My eye doc didn't think a second round of laser surgery was worth it for me given my eye sight is not bad...just not as great when as when I first got lasered 20+ years ago.

Hahaha......when I look too far down the trail it's a bit blurry, so I started looking 5-10 ft away too! With glasses today I was able to look way down the trail.

Apparently my vision isn't bad enough for touch up laser eye surgery either, and contact are not an option either.

I'll see if I can track down a pair of Oakley Jawbreaker and see how the fit. I think I can get them with a prescription. Just got my prescription glasses the other day, I wore them biking today, it's easier to ride when things are clear and crisp!

Those that use riding glasses, any issue with fogging?

This thread is good timing. Did a night ride last night and had to fish a tiny fragment of glass out of my eyelid this morning. Needless to say my eye is a bloodshot mess, but clearing up. I want to wear riding glasses but haven't found a pair that don't fog up. I'm 190 pounds so when in full cardio mode needless to say I'm steaming.

How'd you get glass in your eye?
