What have you done to your bike today?

Never gonna let you down.
Two things I never thought I’d do: put on riser bars (yuck) and drop down to a 28t chainring. I was tired of 3-4” saddle to bar drop on anything but climbing. Even with the post dropped I felt like I was getting bucked on fast tech descents. And gaining 15lbs over the winter and losing a lot of fitness meant I was struggling to stay on top of the 32t on big climbs. Oh well.

A month after I bought it eagle was released and all models at the same price as mine came specd with it. I’m sure I would have used that 50.

Installed a avalanche damper in my friends rochshox.. For some reason it is missing 3/4 inch of its travel now even at full air pressure. Gotta take it appart again.

Took apart the rear end of my yeti greased and torqued all the pivot bolts. Found the the main bearing in the switch infinity is on its way out which sucks.

Try the ziptie in the fork seal trick might have just trapped some air somewhere it's not supposed to be

care to elaborate? havent seen mention of that in my research
Cuarenta y tres - muy bueno. I prefer mine over ice though.
friend wanted be to buy a whole bottle but i wasnt thrilled with that idea, that god for airplane bottles. a little too sweet for me but its pretty tastey.

@02camaro take small ziptie push it past dust seal into oil seal with fork aired up to regular pressure if you hear any air escape this will most likely solve the forks extended length issue . Do both sides

If it's that easy and fixs the issue, I owe you a beer. I'll give it a try

Another issue could be that you didn’t tighten the foot bolts while the fork was at full extension, creating a vacuum in the lowers. Loosen the foot bolts, pull the fork out to full extension, then tighten them up.

Finished the new ghettospeed with just hours to spare before the maiden voyage - 20 mile brewery tour. We'll see if she holds together.
