To follow in the footsteps of that other site.......Looks like a Process 153

It works to help clean and lubricate your seals. Put some Fork Boost on your stanchions, cycle the fork, wipe away the excess that has pulled some of the dirt from your seals. It also gives some lubrication to the seals for a short period of time.

It is NOT a suitable replacement for regular lower maintenance in my opinion. You still need to do oil changes and thorough seal/foam ring cleaning.

Ive attempted to go that route several times before. I have found custom ordering anything through an LBS to be a futile effort that ends in frustration for me.

Thanks! Im sure I can find enough stuff to put in my cart to qualify for the free shipping.  Good prices for sure.

Ive had my eye on those too. Cant seem to find them here in Canada though. Any leads?

Apparently it helps protect the hex head from wear/stripping.

I always watch stuff from WERA too. Have a few of their ratchets, screwdrivers and hex keys.

Im not sure if anyone else noticed this, but the entry level R' version (a mere $10K), doesnt even come with the EP8 motor. It comes with the E7000 which is a downgrade from even the E8000.

Wondering if the weight is on par with the 2000's Bullits that were freeride legends on the Shore?

Maybe its just me being nostalgic, but I find myself disappointed to see these iconic names coming back as E-bikes.

How could they not have capitalized on this by using Trek rather than Bontrager for the name for this? :)

I have the same fork, and do the service once or twice a season. Depends on how much and in what conditions you ride. Its a very easy procedure, and much easier to do if you remove the fork from the bike. I use synthetic 0W30 motor oil for the lowers. It is only splash (lubricating) oil, so does not need any special damping properties like you would use in the charger. Ive been servicing all my forks using this oil for the past 10+ years with no issues.  If you have new foam rings, you can replace them. I have also had good success with isoprpanol cleaning and re-installation of the current ones if they arent too dirty.

Been running an ENO eccentric hub on my commuter for years. No need for a tensioner, or frame that has sliders or room for an EBB.

Electrocutions never left. They are pretty rare, 

Not in Chicago....

For decades, Chicago’s Area 2, where officer Jon Burge’s seven-member “A-Team” took their suspects, was a notorious torture site. An anonymous police department whistleblower named Burge as a perpetrator in 35 torture cases, Ralph reports. “A total of 67 officers were identified by survivors as having direct knowledge of torture.” The torments included beatings, being shackled to a hot radiator, mock suffocations and electrocutions from Burge’s infamous black box. Once knowledge of this dreadful little machine seeped out and Burge was defending himself in the courts, he “is rumored to actually have thrown his torture device in Lake Michigan from his boat, named ‘Vigilante.'”

That's nice. Except we weren't talking about police torture, the topic was federal executions.

The orange guy is going to go full flamethrower.

You by chance referring to the bringing back of firing squads and electrocutions to federal executions?

Electrocutions never left. They are pretty rare, but some States still have the option. Seems the lethal injection route isnt always as 'humane and effective' as it should be and they seem to be having a hard time sourcing the drugs required to carry it out in some cases.

So are we lining up to buy Gate's book and believe what he says now?  You have very strange criteria when it comes to trusted sources of information.

Flynn just got his pardon.  Who is next?

Wonder if Kushner's dad will get one....

How's about a music video of the day thread?

I'll start it off with some homage to Midnight Oil who just won a gold medal from the Sydney Peace Foundation for their long term commitment to human rights.

Awesome album. Brings back some good memories of circa 1987.

Ive had nothing but good experiences with SunRace products. My wife currently runs the 10-46T with HG driver and it shifts perfectly.

10 tooth on HG? How do they do that?

Thats a typo by me. I meant to say 11-46T on HG. I was confusing it with the 10-46T I linked above for xD drivers. I have edited it in my original post, thanks for catching that!

So do you think a propeller pushes or pulls a plane?

Wondering how many on here live "Van Life?"

The number of vans and winne's parked around point grey seem to be multiplying. The ones I see parked up there remind me more of something resembling "gypsy life"  than "van life"....

Having a mobile home always seemed like a pretty cool idea for road trips but then I wonder, how freaking hot are they at night in the summer? Don't they stink with all your sweaty gear stored right under the bed? Knowing myself, my van would probably end up looking more "gypsy", than "van life"

Most of those RVs you see parked around the cities are sadly not people who have necessarily chosen to live that way. The Lower Mainland is an expensive place to live, and more and more people are falling through the cracks.
