F#ck. You rode all that, that smooth, on a hardtail?

What I did was buy some long tubular shoelaces. I cut the ends off and slipped a cable through each one like sock, then slid the cables through the frame. I also taped the lace at each end so it wouldn't slide down.

It worked for me.

Any shop with a Raceface/Fox account can order it in... it is in stock.   Or yeah, Suspensionwerx....

Ok, I'll try that. SW is only open during my working hours.., makes it difficult to get there

I went to 5 shops in NV yesterday with no luck. Does anyone know where this can be purchased?

Any updates on the Seymour bear? Haven't heard anything from NSMBA and land managers seem frustratingly silent? Would be good to know if any recent sightings.

I’m also wanting to know of any updates.

Does anyone have any experience with PiK TV from Telus? Seems like a decent alternative to a cable package for the amount of tv we watch. $115 for 150 internet,  local channels plus TSN

I used to be into the idea of UFOs years ago, but a few new series have sparked renewed interest.  There is a doc on Netflix featuring Bob Lazar (claimed to have worked for the US Military reverse engineering some kind of gravity reactor) and there is a series on the History Channel called Unidentified that so far has covered mainly Miltary encounters with some kind of vehicles that have no wings, accelerate super quickly, can go into space and under water, and can jam their radar.  I know, it sounds fucking crazy, but there are a lot of credible people making the claims and there is even video.  

Perhaps Shogun and I can come to an agreement on something?

Has anyone seen these shows?  Thoughts?

The Joe Rogan podast with Lazar a few weeks ago was much better than the documentary

I'm leaning towards one of the many Spank rims or an MK3. 

I can't see what the difference is between the Spank 345 and 350 other than 20 grams and $10

Anyone recommend a shop to get this built?

Spank 395 Oozy with Stans race sealant and Maxxis tires. Got my 1st flat in 2 years a couple weeks back . folded the rim edge over. Hammered it out at home , re-taped and new sealant and riding it again. 29" 2cross lace on 32 hole Tairin Shogun hubs, used their spokes and nipples as well. I broke the hub axle as well casing a lip , had a replacement in less than 24hrs.

Not quite your stated spec, but I've been happy with my Spank Spike 33 Race rims.

26 (I'm sure 27.5 is available), 32h, 28mm internal.

Are Spank rims not much of a headache to mount tires on? My biggest gripe with the Tairin rims is mounting the tire, it's horrible I've never had such a hard time seating a tire.

I'm looking to get a new aluminum rim on my current hub. What current brands have you had the most success with?

My current rim has been quite strong laterally but the bead dents more than any other rim I've used, and it's been a b*tch to seat a tire bead since new (maxxis, spec). I've used Roval and Race Face previously, which were not as laterally stiff but the bead didn't dent so easily and were both a breeze to seat a tire.

27.5, 32H, 29mm/30mm internal.

I just got mine back but have only had 1 ride on it. So far, I would say that for tech climbing it is more supportive but also more compliant. Downhill I don't have sorted yet, it  doesn't feel quite as good as before on medium hits and drops, like on espresso and john deer. Could be the compression tune is not what's best for me or just I need to spend more time tweaking pressure, compression lever and rebound. I'm using the same air pressure and zero tokens like before. They gave me a V7 rebound and compression tune.

Could you give us an update on the shock if things get more sorted? 🍻

A solid pedal platform is right up there in priority with all out downhill performance for me.

I don't have enough time on it yet to give more insight. I'll post back when I do
