Not Me!!!


Just an FYI, we will make an official announcement tonight... but the first 50 GXII in the USA will include a "drop in" Avid Ceramic hybrid rear bearing. The bearing is ABEC-5 Rated w/ silicon nitride balls. I believe there are some other goodies in there, courtesy of the factory... but this is something Ive opted to do for US customers.

I've got the GREY!!!!!!!!!!! May I'll be 51. still love my toys. I sold a pair of my original fox mx pants to one of geoffs sons for 400.00. They are in Morgan Hill ca. In the fox museum. You guys remember those colors? orange/yellow? I remember seeing Hanna when he was just starting. Racing on the same track. You could go into his pit and say hi. You'al remember sky high cooper? I have an old 84? hang-town t shirt signed by Jeramy McGrath. My wife got into my shirts cause I was selling off all of them,she washed them. There went the autograph.

and.......... we now have a new leader :D :D

I got in trouble when I was about 8 years old. I took the livingroom clock apart because I wanted to know how it worked. I couldn't sit down for a while after that. :cry:

I guess it's simple. Once a gearhead, always a gearhead. :tire: :tire:
If it moves, I wanna know how. And, I want it to go faster.:)
I've loved working on mechanized vehicles my entire life. Regardless of size, number of wheels, or even no wheels at all. (Watercraft and Snowmobiles)

How much play should be at the end of the clutch bell? I am using a new asendancy clutch. Worked good first outing,then yesterday seemed to be slipping. Took apart,found like hard spots on the clutch bell. It only has 2 tanks through it. fly wheel was baking ass hot! still have imprint from it burnt into my finger. tried to sand out the bell no luck. shoes look okay. was wondering if I should throw bell away and start over. also tried sanding shoes,they seem fine. little burn. but reading through the online setup they want some end play.with my reg 3 shoe set up I have always had it set no end play,spin for ever.
