Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

Maybe the fork too

and the rims...

Next ride out: SMIDSY

I wouldn’t worry about it, they’ll fade to a dull mustard colour in about five minutes once exposed to regular UV light.

You should have just got some Shimano brakes and painted them yellow….

This thread would have been about one page long.

I enjoy being punched in the face by a company when their product goes wrong.

This is why.

Mounting hardware on shocks - how are you lot changing this?

To fit the EXT Storia I need mounting hardware for both ends, plus there looks to be a bushing of some type in the upper eye which I'll need to remove somehow.

Would these work?

I’ve got this 15mm OD bush, ID looks about right.

Sadly does not fit- rebound adjuster.

Worth trying it with the rebound end twisted 180 degrees if there’s more clearance on the other side?

If it doesn’t fit, ask your pal if he wants to sell the Storia to me. I’d take it for my 5010.

There’s less clearance on the other side unfortunately. I’ll ask him - I expect the answer would be yes.

Real shame none of these are fitting well. Would have been a rare opportunity to try various shocks back to back.

Well, the Fox fits with the Ohlins spring, I’ll finish putting the bike together today and will have a roll around on it.

Can’t get to a proper test environment due to lack of petrol.

There are trains that go to Swinley

And trains that go to Gomshall, which is more likely to be the one I’d take.

I might stick a VW Up electric car on the credit card.

25% sag with a 500lbs spring, but not wearing my full kit.
