watson.robin Added a reply to updated list of tire weight, lightest mx tire
9/30/2022 2:05pm You and the 4 people that liked your comment are completely missing the point! Yes, putting helium in your tubes may make the whole assembly an ounce or 2 lighter when on the scale, but doesn't change a thing when your tire is tracking along the dirt and the suspension is soaking up peaks and pushing the tire into the...

Did Honda make you wear fox gear Ping? I thought you bled TLD!

4/14/2017 2:58pm Hopefully I'm not preaching to the converted here but figured these points are worth sharing in case you don't know. I would definitely put a few hours ride time on your suspension before sending it off, even if the forks are having internals changed, your shock will benefit from being used before being revalved. My last few bikes (08 &...

4/14/2017 1:21pm Congrats man, best of luck with it. I'm sure you'll be happy with her. It's a different animal to a YZ250, but give it some time and I'm sure you'll adapt.

4/13/2017 8:34am @JBecker 72 you may well be able to buy a KYB insert for the TAC tubes? If not then definitely Ohlins sell one. I know a guy that ran KYB inserts in his WP forks on a 15 ktm, and loved them. The air fork does have a different feel (on my CRF anyway) to a spring fork, but I...

4/13/2017 8:21am I really think this year he has just been unlucky. If he still doesn't point out after 18 SX, then call it time an move on. In previous years he just didn't have it together between not having the speed and silly crashes.

4/13/2017 8:20am I'm a big believer in buying left over bikes. I had a 15 Honda 450 that I sold and bought a brand new 16 in Nov 2016 for only $1000 to change. I don't think you'd be in your right mind to spend $4800 to move to move to a 17 at that point in time! I now have a...

4/13/2017 8:09am I think he should stick around for 250SX in 18. He's had the speed this year, just had quite a few unlucky incidents rather than just ridden badly. He has the talent to win another outdoor title on a 250 this summer if he can come in healthy an confident, follow that up with a 250 SX title in 18...
watson.robin Added a reply to Van or Truck - Which is Best and Why?
4/13/2017 8:03am I used to have a Van and used it or a road bike as my daily driver when I lived in Ireland. 2.5 turbo Diesel, 180bhp, 30mpg room for 3 people, 3 bikes, water, pressure washer and all of our gear. Did multiple trips to England loaded like that minus the water. No stickers or giveaways, so never targeted for...
