Same here using the same one when they first came out, going strong.

Grease on both inner steerer threads and cap threads help a lot too.

Traditional seat tube for removable seat clamp.

It looks like all you need to do is get used to is straightening your legs with it in an airing position. Just keep at it eventually you'll get it, persistence is key, but take it slow.

I remember when Dans used to be good never had an issue now, now not so much.

Most important thing about turndown air is getting comfortable putting your body in a position it wouldn't normally be in, doing one flyout is completely different to doing one in an air, you'll basically want your body position to be in towards the ... more »

If you dont wana go crazy spending, 16" tubes, double butted spokes, folding tyres Maxxis or khe, if moneys not an issue ti spokes ti spindle alloy axles or ti but alloy cheaper and lighter. rotational will always make the biggest difference over static ... more »

That burn is hot, damn someone please water, quick, need to put out the burn, too hot. SHEEEEET via GIPHY

R25 is best for everything. F25 as well if you want fronts.

I'll be swapping my totems out for front and rear Fly's finally.

Yeah I rode them with and without gloves the keys fell off quite quickly though but this is when they first brought them out so they might have improved them, they felt weird but they were alright just didn't last long, my favourite grips are the Fly ... more »

Nice, I myself am in the market for fronts again looking at the f25's to match my r25's really had a blast when I ran front brakes, kicking myself for selling the fork though ever since.

I've been running 25-9 for years and I do agree it feels like I get nowhere, I have a 27T that I'm wanting to throw on with my 9 so will be interesting. Just have to figure out a method to keep my CS at the same length might need to deepen the slots ... more »

Just requires shitty music and bedsheet clothing.

When it comes down to it, I'll always stick with 75 on stems, sprockets, seat clamps if your frame is traditional and brakes if you can still find them. I'll leave 61 for parts that aren't really needed for strength like levers, seat posts etc.

I've never had slippage on any of my stems both 61 and 75 and never broke any bolts from over tightening I'm talking about the stem body material in my reply. So because not many brands use 75 means its not good ? Maybe just maybe it might be the price, ... more »

Could you explain why it isn't you seem to know a great deal? I've used 6061 and 7075 pretty well, 61 always usually deformed from being so soft which made clamping bars and steerer along with taking out and installed bolts a pain in the ass just because ... more »

I was here since 2010. Mr Grumpy Steve 2015. He is still new here compared to myself. I usually lurk unless I have something useful to add. 90% of the time.

I thought more would have gotten it. Have a thumbs up.
