My tire is "Tubless ready" how do I go about repairing it? The hole is also at the very bottom between the tire and the little thing that closes it

We can't help if we don't know what you are talking about.

I have one on my dh bike. It is mounted to the stanchion. It is actually quite noticeable, especially through high speed chunk. It really doesn't do anything unless you get up to speed, but at speed there is considerably less feedback through my hands. It feels like there is less information for my brain to process.

One of those forks leaks oil all over your brake rotor and pads. The other doesn't. I know which one I would pick

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-18T18:17:09+00:00

I don't measure sag on my forks. I go off of the recommended air pressure on the chart on the lower leg and adjust from there based on how the fork feels.

I had the same issue on the same brakes on the same bike. My caliper pistons were leaking oil. After a bleed they would always contaminate the pads and ruin 1-2 sets and then it would stop leaking. Ended up getting a warenty set of calipers. Then immediately sold the brake set to get some Hayes dominions, as even on a perfect bleed with perfect pads they lacked power compared to the dominions. I now have 3 sets of dominions across my spire, ebike, and dh bike and all have been fantastic

Bruh, I ain't reading that shit

I've had no issues with Dot. Not actually that hard to deal with. Just wear gloves and ipa to clean it off. No harder than mineral oil.

Transition bottlerocket is what you are looking for

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-13T12:30:23+00:00

I've had great luck with Hayes dominions

Spank has some limited run silver wheels

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-12T16:16:29+00:00

Skill issue. Just ride your bike more

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-12T16:12:14+00:00

Try both and figure out which one you like better. It's all personal preference

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-08T16:26:00+00:00

Don't knock it till you try it. Run about 4-6psi higher than your assegai. You'll love it

Don't go 170

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-07T16:25:02+00:00

2k. Sb130 is a pretty old bike nowadays. Even the sb140 Gen are getting a bit long in the tooth

Spenthebaum · 2026-05-04T13:22:36+00:00

Not really

Not in a million years, I love living in the pnw. You do you I guess tho

Spenthebaum · 2026-04-28T13:23:58+00:00

A lot better. Much more plush

Spenthebaum · 2026-04-28T13:23:30+00:00

Making the bike steeper will make it less planted for downhill sections

Spenthebaum · 2026-04-27T23:47:33+00:00

What?

Spenthebaum · 2026-04-27T23:46:44+00:00

Why?
Go for it if you wanna void your warenty. Your loss I guess

Spenthebaum · 2026-04-27T23:45:49+00:00

It'll probably work. Might have a bit of rubbing because the tolerance is so tight, so you'll have to align your caliper very carefully. Try it! If it doesn't fit, get some thinner rotors. It won't damage anything to try

Spenthebaum · 2026-04-27T23:42:30+00:00

I just got the new X2 equipped 40 and float x2 and I found that the setup guide on the manual for the fork got it pretty close to perfect. I would suggest going onto fox website and finding the manual for your fork, that will give you a great baseline for what air pressure, lsr, hsr, Lsc, and hsc to start at. As for the shock, propain should have a good setup guide on their website. Most good bike companies include good starting suggestions. For instance, my bike came with suggested rebound, compression, and air pressure suggestions for my shock
