WORKS LIKE A CHARM!Sanded & lubed my dropper post. It has been sticking (not returning up) lately.
I saw scuff marks on the shaft, so I sanded it and lubed it. Maybe some bad junk got down in it past the seal.
Ran it up & down a few times, hope this helps it. My LBS said if I get two years out of the dropper I'm doing good.
We'll see.
Tore down the Bucksaw last week after sending the fork and seatpost for rebuilding.

where did you send them to be rebuilt?
Sent the fork and seat post to Fox which I believe is Push here on the east coast. They talked me into new stanchions on the fork. Probably cost me way more than having a lbs do it. They did come back looking almost new. Let’s see how they perform.
That’s the place I sent them back to.Unless the LBS has a nitrogen fill setup, they're not doing a full teardown of a shock. The damper needs to be charged with it... That's what the little nylon ball at the bottom of the slider is. At something like $7000+, that's out of the purvey of most "local" shops.
There are a few authorized service centers, including Fox in North Carolina.
Are you going to stud the old tires?View attachment 112201
New rubber and new pads. I probably shouldn't have waited, but I'm really lazy. It's like a brand new bike.
You never realize how bad your tires are till you get new ones and compare. Then you try to justify it by saying that you really got great life outta the old ones.View attachment 112201

Lost this last night on the fat bike while changing some parts
Where do you get a replacement bolt and cable clampy part for a Shimano derailleur?

you could file a washer if you’re in a pinch...Si.shimano.com
Enter the part number stamped on it, preceded by "ev-". Look up the associated part, bring to dealer with a Shimano account, and order. Online is a bit of a crap-shoot, since tiny parts have bad margins.
Of course, they should know how to do it, too...
My guess is a bolt on hub doesn't work with a 12x142 thru axle frameDo you need special dropouts for CK fun bolts? Can't fit the bolt on the threaded side of a ROS9. Took off the hanger to check if it goes through. Way too thin to ride this wayView attachment 112491
