Sorry stu im not sure mate, what weight are you? surely not much lighter than me?

Thinking robins myself now?

Think your right jon after googling that

Doing a bit of trail building, found buried rock and pulled it up to find them.
Rock was replaced when three fish took photo.

Still fail to see how a bird would have been able to get where the eggs were.
They appeared to be very sealed in under there.

hmmm maybe not, feedbacks not great?

seen 2010 i think it was on the bay for under 500 quid

here you go

I’m running 2010 55 rc3 ti’s, same fork as far as im aware?
My weight is about 10.5 stone kitted up, im running no coil preload or air at all.
To be honest spring is maybe just slightly to heavy for me, but only just as ive had full travel from them often on biggish drops.
Had no trouble at all from them, they just work.
They do however take a little while to break in, they just seem to get better and better over a few month.
Hth sean.

Its trying to tell you that it needs replaced with a coil :wink:

Buy them you wont be dissapointed :wink:

Yes the spacing is different inbetween the holes on the frame

As gusamc ^^^^ means you can knock it back out if it goes in wonky :wink:

The bigger dia bar and nut with the thickest washers poss is best if you can

Would think a frame at that price would come with one?

If there is play when you lift the saddle, it may only be shock bushes and not linkage bearings? which are easy to do yourself

@northwind, when they sold out of bronze there was only blue left.
bronze was the pro, blue was the comp.

Must admit i quite like the new colour

deore rings are steel

Not sure but maybe an oil leak from damper into lowers blew the seal?
now the seal is back in do they bottom out before full travel?

Which side did the seal blow, was it damper or spring side?

If they’re air forks it will be a seal inside releasing air into lowers, could do with a new seal imo

Speak to locotuning he will help you out

Chain goes above the metal plate then under upper jockey, should be no rub.

Ive heard the creak in question, more like a crackle and LOUD! bit to much to be loose qr i think

I’m 5.7 ish and ride a small, also had a medium. Think you would need med imo

Trouble is giantgaunt, something cheaper than xt is gonna screw up the hope pro 2 hub :?

Most of the ‘sanitizing’ has been done to stop the trails turning into big wide muddy scars on the landscape, which is becoming the case in places like jakes-doghouse, due to the usual riding around muddy spots.
The rocks and gravel have been put down to armour the muddy area and drainage ditches dug.
Cant see how this is wrong myself? would understand if they had built northshore over them but rocks and gravel? which WILL blend in over few weeks.
All inmho of course

Yeah he’s great to deal with, sorted my problem with a fork without any hassle to me at all, great guy!

I had a 203 flame fitted a little while back on the front, caused real bad fork judder. Had a 180 on the rear which seemed ok but ive removed them from the bike now, couldnt stand the vibration on the front any longer

+1 for the flame rotor been bad, caused bad fork judder on mine its now in the bin

Seems common, my wife’s blackberry’s doing the same :?

+ another, gave me a good price on a van rc, good comms even when he was off work, thanks simon! oh and very fast service

Biketarts tape is very easy to fit if you use wet method

my 2009 55s failed lots, i wouldnt if i were you. 2010 however different altogether.
They will change them for newer version if they do fail though so may be worth it if you have spare fork

Stuff from bike tart is pretty good stuff and easy to apply.
They sell it by the metre, couple will prob do

May be wrong but they should just lift out?

It’s very easy changing cables, if you dont already have cutters here is a cheap pair which are very good.

as above ^^ i found a little more tyre pressure than i usually run helped

From what im aware they put a small red painted dot on the crown of the forks they had ‘fixed’ these forks were supposed to be ok and free from issue.
The 55’s i had from 2009 had a red dot and they failed from new, the oil leaked from the hi-lo dial on the bottom, this however may not of been the same issue they had ‘fixed’
I may be wrong but this is what i have read somewhere
