    Cheers folks will pull apart tomorow.
    Xc hub has had no work so something just worn then

    ProII – will check seal and spacer. Only did hub bearings as they were rough as. Freehub bearings were good – no play, ran smooth

    Looking at the specs i don’t see any significant differences between the nexus and the fire hd.

    Was thinking of the Fire but need to know more about nexus

    Is one better and why?

    Any thought on the weight – average for what it is?

    Thinking of a 19″ in the new year all being well

    Superficial – how do you run yours?

    I have some RCT3’s and just run them full open but have heard that they can be better at half open and minimal LSC.

    Havent had a huge amount time to mess about with them but they are great

    Cheers folks. Have had the bearing out before but can’t seem to get enough purchase on the outer bearing to shift it.
    Got the hub bearings out no probs.
    Will have another shot tomorrow at the freehub

    Simwit – how do you find the m210 shock on the 405?
    Is the set compression/platform ok ?
    When I had a hvr200 on mine ( before the monarch) I found it didn’t really any platform dialled in and bob was minimal

    Badlywireddog – what shock are you running now?
    My HVR200 died and i got a monarch instead which just isnt the same.

    With regard to the 405 frame it did develop a crack at one of the welds on the front triangle (shock pivot) and PACE swapped no problem. It was only a year old though.

    I really like the bike as it climbs well and suits me well as i sit somewhere between xc/all day riding and this so called all mountain stuff.

    damn cant see them at work – we managed 24laps in a quad so respect to Terrahawk.

    Gel wrappers were disgraceful – almost every event suffers from it now.

    The link from gravity-slave suggests it will work and the mtbr forum guys say so too. Also Lo-Co agrees and can sell the parts so worth checking with him too if you still arent sure.

    If you do ask him about the Moco damper too and tell all..

    willv

    Also thought the same but think I’ll stick the newer dual flow
    rebound in my pikes for now. Not sure if you can upgrade the mo- co damper too – need to look into this too I guess

    For those with the Pace 405’s – my DT swiss bust and it was cheaper to get a RS Monarch 3.3. The difference is big in that it feels way too harsh on small stuff and seems to clatter a lot more in general across all sorts of terrain.

    I am running the floodgate at full open with 30% sag. The shock has D3 tune which PACE recommended. I can tell any difference between the floodgate settings

    Can i get the tune reduced does anyone know?
