Gypsy Moth with full extensions, 9 miles. Everyone had a sick ride. My new Fox F100 RLC is flawless. A few videos.

Zac’s Fall:


My epic climb:


It doesn’t look like much on video, but that hill has only been successfully climbed 8 times now in 13 years (3 times for me, twice for Adam, 3 times for Clem).

2007 Fox F100 RLC.

It should be in my hands tomorrow if Cambria actually overnighted it per my request.

I’m thinking about having the bottom legs painted pink to fade white half way up.

I went to have my Manitou Skareb Super rebuilt and it was a pretty botched job. Whats worse is that no one anywhere seems to be able to get in touch with Manitou for parts since they were recently relocated to Wisconsin after being picked up by Hayes.

I’m potentially looking for a new fork but there are just too many options out there. I’d like to stick with Manitou but I forsee problems since their chief staff didn’t relocate. Fox Forx are always nice but super expensive.

Any thoughts? Looking for 80 mm lightweight XC fork.

So that I don’t get nasty phone calls about some of the posts on this site — which you’re all of course more than entitled to make — maybe you can leave your phone # or for someway to Fetish to get in touch with you if you have a gripe. No guarantee that it will happen but it wouldn’t hurt, and it keeps me out of it. I have enough stress in my life already.

I haven’t had to contact them in a while about anything but when I have I’ve never really experienced some of the problems described here. Rant away but be constructive with it.
