The 2011 Shinobi is still relevant. Amazing bike and I still have it as a backup. A real mini-enduro bike years before they became popular. Mine was immediately upgraded with a shorter stem, a wider and raised bar, and a KS Lev, and is now set up with a DHF 2.5 upfront. It's still in my garage and used regularly. Interestingly, my guests tend to prefer it to a high end Pivot Mach 6. It's also not bad for long backcountry day or hut to hut rides.

Respect to Doddy for riding tarmac to offroad trails. So few people don't these days, that this sport could EASILY be called carbiking and i hate that. I ride up to 25km to one of my favourite spots. It used to be huge part on tarmac or footpaths. But I used google maps satellite view and explored a lot to find as much of the route as possible to go through gravel/agricultural/woodland roads or some hidden woods paths. Keep it up Doddy!

It was me that asked the question. And the reason i asked was because i had seen a company in RSA converting new forks to 1/18th crown and steerers. I had asked if there was a company within the UK that could do this conversion rather than having to send it abroad. The frame is from 1997 and does not fit the Hope conversion kit. The only solution is to convert the crown and steerer or buy a fork that has 1/18th steerer already installed. Dodster wasnt wrong- he just didnt read the question correctly

@kubagajda7347 4 жыл бұрын

@@dwaynerbear Well then, if your frame has internal headtube diameter of 44mm and has pressed-in cups, then you can change the lower one to EC44 cup, which can accomodate 1 1/2 steerer with no problem. You can also go to Cane Creek headset finder, choose the bike you have from the list and it'll tell you wether this is possible or not. Changing lower headset cup is by far the cheapest and safest way of solving this problem.

#AskGMBNTech -- Not a question so much, but for people that still need to get 1 1/8" straight steerer tubes due to frame limitations, MRPbike.com (Mountain Racing Products) still offers some of their forks with straight steerer options. Specifically I'd look at the Loop SL and the Loop TR, because these are probably closest to the forks that you would find on older bikes with old school EC34 headtubes! Thanks for keeping me sane in quarantine, cheers.

I want to match the front tyre with a Maxxis. What tyre would you recommend? I'm between the DHF or another DHR II, both on a 29x2.6 config. I like the front tyre to be wider.

This was perfect because I recently switched my tubes over to tubeless on my wheels. So put Stan's valve stems in and then had a small bottle of Stan's but I'm also running 27.5 Plus Tires so with that little bottle I just split it in half and empty the bottle and both of them because they're such a big tires and I perfectly happy with it I mean it rides better it feels better is so much more comfortable it's a trek Roscoe 8 so I'm riding a hardtail but I didn't realize how soft I was riding it with tubes and it was still comfortable and right now I'm at 20 psi or 22 in the rear 20 in the front. And I also bought my cherry going clipless so I'm experiencing the best of to new worlds right now and it's been pretty goddamn amazing if I must say I've been able to do a lot of riding with the weather here in Iowa and it's been awesome and the trails are opening up and it's cool I was totally stoked and digging it

#askgmbntech Hi Doddy & Henry, love the show. I've recently carried out a full service + reduced the travel to 130mm on my 2016 rockshox revelation rct3 forks. I've noticed the fork now rests at 5% sag after being compressed. If I gently lift the front of the bike it returns to 0% sag & stays there no problem but as soon as the fork is compressed again it will only return to 5%. I've check the usual suspects like air trapped in the lowers but all seams fine. Do you think I it could be a worn damper? Thanks & keep up the great work 👍

I have an entirely level bike (Giant ATX). The bike has an inexpensive suntour XCT fork. What can I do to take care of it? Is it possible/worth servicing it?
