Protecting the chainstays. What do you use? Good ideas?

Bump for update! I got 3M Mastic 2228 from Home Depot in Bellingham for $9.27 for 1"x10' roll. The difference is the 2228 is .065" thick, the 2229 mentioned earlier is .125" thick. They don't carry the 2229 though. Install was a breeze, the tape conforms well and sticks well. I will see if the thinner material is going to cut it, or else I will double it up.

I was fine with my old ghetto brakes i just got these to match the rest of my kit.
Brakes are just brakes, shouldnt even be really using them besides for when you get to the end of the trail right? :love:

3M Protective Tape

I bought a few sheets of the clear protection tape stuff.
Would this stand up if put onto the chain stays for chain slap? I've found the stuff doesn't seem to want to stick when I wrap it all the way around the tubes tho…

Airline People- help me fly with my bike

I wouldn't suggest lying to customs. When you lie to them they have the ability to fuck with you bad. Lying about what items you have in your luggage can sometimes result in seized items or fines, plus you will be red flagged. I dont think you will enjoy having to get searched by customs every time you fly and try to cross the border in a car. Those guys can really ruin your day.

Getting the police involved with anything is always a bad idea. The outcome is never good.

Santa Cruz Driver 8 Questions. Shock stuff ect..

So im curious to know if I could run a FOX DHX RC4 rear shock from a transition tr250 on my santa cruz Driver8. The website says the tr250 has a 8.5"x2.5" shock. Thing is on the shock its self the spring says 500x2.80. Could I run this?

Also im able to aquire a Marz Roco TST R rear shock. Its 8.5"x2.5" im pretty sure. These any good and would this work on my bike?

So im pretty much asking you all if any of these shocks have the ability to work on my bike and if they would work well.
Im currently using eather my Fox DHX5 Air and RockShox Vivid rc2. Should I just stick with these?

Last question,
well I really enjoy my driver8. I guess its pretty much a v10 with less travel. Its great for fast dh style trails and gnarly stuff but when it comes to jumping and being quick it seems sluggish in many ways. Not as quick and poppy as i would like. This bike is pretty much designed to be fast and stay glued to the trail right?
Well heres my question. How would a transition tr250 compair to a santa cruz driver 8? Would the tr be more poppy, nimble and quick to throw around? I love the slack headangle on it and it feels so super plush. The tr is also a more updated design. Since im just not so up to date with all the lastest tech these days would i be all around happier and better off switching to a tr?
Anyone here gone from a driver8 to a tr? Have any comments or info they would like to share with me?
I really hope this all makes sense hahaha.
Id be taking all the parts from my driver and swapping.

SHUT 'ER DOWN FOLKS!!!!

I'm only new here (coming up to 12 months) but it took less than a month to work out that the weather forecasters don't have a clue about Vancouver, at least more than 24 hours out. As for long range - wasn't last winter supposed to be the coldest in 40 years?
Cheers Ben

They said that on the news radio and tv over and over that year. I went out and bought a 4x4 SUV just for that reason….
I think it snowed in coquitlam maybe two days lol
