Buckster

Get Wankstain to explain it, he will spend three days telling you how to unscrew the float bowl but never once mention the screws, screwdriver or float bowl.

I bet you enjoy that trampoline.

They care about not making noise.

He’s a cunt.

I am Batman.

Quite a good copy of the Harley Nightster.

I think we know what Pete is looking at.

Picture?

That would take @Six30 three minutes at the most.

You were the one pm’ing other guys asking for bum sex.

Try again with your glasses on.

I have never met bummer, isn’t he a friend of @Tym?

Those shiny things you avoid so you don’t scare yourself.

They better be, I spent £800 on these bad boys.

I think the technical term is "fucked".

It is due to shit soaking into the seat fabric.

Are you sure it isn't a bladder infection?

Pete was a great help during my research.

At this point I had narrowed things down to a few preferred shocks, 2win are very good on price but the specs are hard to get, Ohlins are well reviewed but at a price, YSS do what is probably the best emulsion type shock and then the wild card is the Nitron twin shock R1. I decided against the YSS as I do not want another emulsion set up. I had pretty much settled on the 2win but two factors put me off, I found it only has a 26mm piston and the resellers are twats, I never trust anyone that needs to slag off their competitors. I spoke to Brook suspension a few times, I was getting very interested in the expensive but highly rated Ohlins, they were very helpful and very honest, they even suggested having another look at the YSS which are £400 less than the Ohlins. Then I brought up the subject of Nitron, we had a long discussion on the difference between Nitron and Ohlins. The Nitrons use machined components throughout as opposed to a mix between machined and cast. It seemed that Nitron are about the best made shocks currently available and they offered the adjustability I wanted, I could also specify a 12.5 inch shock so I was very interested. After doing some additional research to verify what I had been told I have ordered Nitron shocks.

So continuing, remote reservoir or piggyback shocks are overkill in most road bikes, they give the widest range of adjustment but need to be adjusted more often. The sweet spot is a single body gas shock, a good emulsion shock is generally better than stock but still has limitations. As far as piston diameter is concerned for a 12 to 13 inch shock the sweet spot for shock travel and good damping is 35 to 36mm. This will allow just under 4 inches of travel.

The trailer only adds 8kg to the back of the bike.
