    hi mate.i,m sure that it,s ok to ride like this as it,s all really held in place by the frame.
    The only thing i was thinking about was how effective the seal would be if it slips on so easily,water and general shite.
    Andy W…how big was your hammer.lol
    firestarter.arnt the newer ones a little bit different?

    fire starter hahahaha.you been watching the hope vid too.

    no mate perfect.
    did a google on this and a few guys over on pink bike and moredirt said exactly the same thing.
    it just slips into place. put everything back together and the q/r adapter sorts it all out so the freehub cant slip back up the axle.
    then when on the frame q/r tension keeps it all together as well.
    there here if you want one .

    don,t panic firestarter lolol
    just done mine.that didn,t click in .it just fell into place even with the hope tool
    when you put the q/r adapter back after the cassette it all holds in place.
    freaked me out as well i even bought a new one and it was exactly the same

    13thfloormonk.if you pump up the -ve then take the pump off and put it back on you,ll know what i,m talking about.the -ve chamber is very small.
    there.s been loads of threads on here about this very thing.you will find your running much less in you -ve than you think,hence the firm platform.
    with the size of the -ve on pikes you loose about 30 psi when removing your pump.
    the air loss your talking about in the pump is with the +ve.

    if i put 10psi more in the v- on my pikes they would run at 125mm.
    pressures set allowing for the loss when pump is removed.

    just 1 thing TSC does this drag your travel down having 10psi higher in the bottom
