The left leg on this fork is showing a heavy mix of corrosion and wear. Our regular fork service (Clean & Lube) costs 50 bucks, and if done regularly will keep this type of wear from happening. Unfortunately, this particular fork is beyond repair, and will need a new $240 CSU unit (steerer, crown and upper stanchions). Fox reccomends that all forks be serviced every 50 hours of ride time, or sooner if ridden in poor conditions (wet, freezing temps, etc.).

Rear suspension is pretty much the same story. With regular service it will last many years, but if neglected things will get expensive. Fox reccommends a standard Air Sleeve Service every 30 to 50 hours of riding. 40 bucks and you’re back on the trail.

And that’s where you should be. On the trail.

We just got a brand new Garmin Edge 605 for the shop last week, and that thing is addictive. Want to know what your altitude is? Want to know exactly how steep the hill is? Check the computer. What’s your heading? Look at the computer. Speed? Computer. Distance travelled? Computer. It has more attractive features than a room full of supermodels. We’re using it to map rides from the shop which will eventually appear on this very website. No more confusing directions, no more unfolding blanket sized sheets of paper to find the trail we told you about. Simple. Awesome. It’s the future.

Been looking for aluminum rotors? Pulling your hair out every time you see a big fat BACKORDERED next to the BUY NOW button? Then now’s the time to ditch that website and come support your local bike nerds. We have 4 and 6 inch alloy rotors from Scrub sitting in our display case like diamond encrusted puppies crawling all over each other for your attention. You have to see it to believe it.
