Jessy Nelson did pretty well with no left thumb.

While I was mucking around with the bracket I decided to make a fork height gauge and a few different chain slack gauges. I was surprised checking the manual that the spec for the CR is 25-35mm. I’ve always just run the old two to three fingers so this will be an upgrade.

Sometime around January or February 2000 when I was still living in CT, I rode my snowmobile up by Doug Henry’s property during a snowstorm. I was only 20 years old at the time. I was careful to not be too obvious, but maybe since I was on a Yamaha that looked like the one’s he was racing in Sno-X at the time, he actually came outside to greet me. Ended up doing a couple laps with him on his moto track out back, which he had been using to practice Sno-X. I was also racing sleds at an amateur...

I saw Ryan Hughes at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I...

Going to mount a bladder kit in my ktm this weekend and im going to be use air inside the bladder. hopefully i will survive😃

"nitrogen is heaver than air" What makes you think that?

If you understand the science, use whatever you KNOW works. If you don't understand anything like shorty, then don't be a hack job and absolutely, willingly get conned into using nitrogen. My point is, this isn't magic. It is based on facts you learned the basics of in high school. FACT: YOU will never know the difference in a bladder type shock. In emulsion shocks, there is an infinitesimally small argument for corrosion inhibition. What is the compressibility factor for air vs nitrogen at the pressures and temperatures you see in a shock? people that say air can't be used...

I'm fine using air in my shocks...

I like to use a special gas mixture containing around 78% nitrogen. Learned about it from an old racer years ago.

I use an air fork pump. I stopped using nitrogen 5 years ago, when I ran out. It made absolutely no difference.

I actually use an air fork pump.It has worked great for 5 years now.

It seems people are conflating the supposed benefits of nitrogen as a gas with the fact that bottled nitrogen is free from moisture (as a result of how it is produced). Nitrogen is not a true inert gas but it is chemically inert for a wide range of conditions.

Deegan fans before the season: "You guys aren't ready, Deegan will dominate the field, 1-1 Pala, undefeated, Jett wants none of it. Deegan fans after 4 races: He got close to Jett once when Jett settled, the time will come and he will beat Jett in at least one moto, "suck it haters".

What about dry air? Would that be ok?

The ideal gas law can be used to derive the influence of changes in pressure and temperature. PV = nRT -> P1/T1 = P2/T2 For your shock absorber, the source of energy increase doesn’t change no matter what fluid is in your reservoir: that is, shock motion (kinetic energy) into thermal energy (another type of kinetic energy). So, while there MIGHT be some minor change in reservoir temperatures due to air + moisture vs dry nitrogen, it’s not enough to really matter for performance at the amateur level. Specifically, the reservoir pressure is there to combat cavitation and it’s negative...

Gone back and forth on this. Zero perceptible difference in my rear shock, so I just use a MTB pump at home now. I check the pressure before every tear down as well and it's never any different. Guess I'm a "hack", but I couldn't give two shits.
