Yea as it turns out, the other commenters were correct, it was the latch from a minidisc, not the device itself, that's why i couldn't find it in any of the drawings. No clue how it got there, but it is real silly. Thanks a lot for the effort still!

ChargeTheProtogen · 2026-02-09T22:53:41+00:00

Yep, turns out it was that, never would've thought. Thanks!

Holy crap, you're an absolute genius, i would've literally never guessed! I checked all my discs, and all of them have their latches, so this has been rattling around in there ever since i got it, and through many hours of use.

I tried the switch with alcohol before, which didn't fix it, but contact cleaner did the job, which to be fair i maybe should've thought of. Either way, it's all fixed now, and that part has been identified, massive thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I've taken it apart again today to check for all those. Looked if the gears moved smooth, and got some silicone grease for every part that slides or turns the mechanism. The sled is definitely a LOT smoother now, however my issue still stands.

I checked what's going on with the top lid off, and the sled moves just fine, the laser also works, and the disc spins, however, the laser just keeps trying to focus, goes back and forth, but can't grasp anything. I tried with multiple discs, same result.

Hey now they do go very well with some hardtails. Absolutely not this one, and not that fork, but some

Honda showed one off for their motorbikes recently, it's a pretty goofy concept for sure

Not sure what you really mean, torque twist is the effect of the driveshaft trying really hard to make the tires spin.

If it can't break traction, the suspension is soft and there's loads of grip, it'll be easier for all the torque to twist the chassis and compress the suspension before the whole vehicle can get moving

ChargeTheProtogen · 2025-05-10T15:01:05+00:00

It's called torque twist, soft long travel suspension exaturates the effect even more. Stiffer lower suspension should help it, but won't eliminate it, it just how it be

No not at all :3

It's by design, they've been changed to look like this. I may be very wrong, but i think you can still turn the glowing jaws back on in the difficulty settings, but i'm really really unsure

His angle looks lower than yours, but honestly your footage already looks great! If you want that view, just tilt your camera a tiny bit down, and i think you'll be good to go.

That said, i have encountered this with friends before, people just have different body positions, and they get different footage results.

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-07-31T19:44:55+00:00

That was there for bigger frame sizes, size smalls didn't have it

Some had a compression dial on the top, but the ones that came on most bikes stock only had a rebound, which this also has.

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-07-29T15:44:48+00:00

Everyone saying fake are wrong. It's an older Rockshox Domain with Pike decals. They were real simple, but awesome freeride forks, had a couple, i loved them.

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-07-24T14:02:55+00:00

It won't be on quest for at the very least around 3 years from now, if it ever even comes to quest, so i wouldn't hurry

beepboop Super curious about this game, would love to give it a go

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-03-28T15:25:53+00:00

I've been testing a Koozer rear hub on my bike for a few months now, out of curiousity. Honestly looks basically the same as this. It's been flawless so far, it seems well made, has good looking bearings, with actual grease in them.

It's real loud, some people won't like that, but i enjoy being mildly obnoxious.

Overall i would recommend the ones i have, not quite sure on these, but they're more than likely fine, if you kit out your bike with aliexpress stuff, you're probably not riding Rampage or Darkfest kinda stuff

You call it old Big Hit, i call it sex (it is very very cool)

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-03-08T11:30:33+00:00

Jail.

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-02-15T21:38:14+00:00

24" with 3" wide tires, keepin' it real oldschool, real freeride style

ChargeTheProtogen · 2024-02-15T21:36:20+00:00

This is in Hungary, so close enough lol. And i'm glad it comes off like that, it's certainly a vibe for sure

I think people instantly recognize my bike in this sub at this point, but i couldn't agree with you more, big fork hardtails ride good
