    1993 WL seatpost issue

    So my 1993 WL has a seized seatpost since circa 1999. Tried a bunch of tricks to get it out with no luck...worried about cutting it out and ruining the paint in the process, as its a Leslie Purple color. Got a quote for over $1000 to remove and restore to O.G., yikes. Are frames worth...

    Paul stoplite canti setup question.

    Got brand new koolstop and try to get the cable low but need clearance, also get the pads to hit the rim straight-on or perpendicular. Was wondering if one spring side was stronger left / right? maybe overthinking it...

    Paul stoplite canti setup question.

    Setting up my Paul's cantilevers today after a cable housing switch...did their brakes always have "biased" springs from left to right? (see attached image). Replaced the springs a couple years ago with these new springs from Paul Components a couple years ago and still getting them dialed...

    How does one know if a 1993 Fat Wicked is susp corrected?

    AGREE! I put an optional 3/8" spacer in the stack last week when I rebuilt it. Taking it out this weekend...we shall see. Or its the frame. Rode it for 25+ years with it this way. Just attached a pic of the way it was before fork restoration...it is about 1/2" lower...

    How does one know if a 1993 Fat Wicked is susp corrected?

    1993 WL with Judy XC put on by me in 1995 or so. Just rebuilt the shox and put springs into the tubes, and damper rebuilt last week. I wanted the SL or DH but too much travel I was told at the time for this geometry.

    Wicked Lite front end rebuild

    1993 Wicked Lite #139 in Leslie's Purple. original owner. Found the brand new Chris King 1" threaded at the LBS and my O.G shimano DX was a bit loose so why not for $150! Then had to tear apart the 1996 Judy XC rebuild the cartridge and replace the elastomers with springs. Next might be the...

    Rock shox "Steed Springs" upgrade

    Just got the bike from storage. The serial number is B168900 on the Judy...does this help identify the plastic vs metal body on dampener...hate to pull it apart before I have the parts to upgrade.

    Whoa 8k! Thinking 3k max. Rather have a bike with provenance/history that is used...factory yo eddy race frame etc...than a NIB with decent specs.

    Rock shox "Steed Springs" upgrade

    Running an OG rock shox Judy since 1995 on my 19" wicked lite 1993. Replaced the MCU with the kit that came with the fork about 10 years ago. Seems to run like stock but never messed with the oil cartridge which I assume is plastic. Looking at the upgrades on SRP. Steed Springs, metal...
