Hey Redrider, let me know how you get on. I'm keen to have a go at MX again so would appeciate your feedback. Just got back into riding and doing the trial rides but would love to get out on a MX track again for old times sake. Specially up at the Dome where I used to race years a go as a kid..........does anyone else remember the old King of the Dome meetings!!!!

Well, considering im more a trail rider than an MX er if found Dome valley pretty damn cool and a good change.

no drama going back, most of the track is pretty wide so there was plenty of room for others to pass although it wasnt that busy, I was a bit iffy about the jumps but got the hang of it 3-4 laps in. most are rolling so no worries anyway. Good fun, good change, Ill be back...

Good question. They felt a bit firm, but I think they are ok. I just gotta get used to em. Gotta ge:nono:t those bearings and that nut sorted too.

use the clickers as they will ave been set back to standard best try it out somewhere you can keep riding the same bit so you can feel the difference as you addjust but remember to right down what you have done as you do it.

Sweet, found the standard setting so will pm you. The oil level we set to was 2mm out, which is nothing.

Yeh my man remember when we reset the rear spring I told you you'd have to soften the compression and rebound. I went 2 clicks softer today and it ade a big difference. Was it even though not to soft or hard at one end??

How did redriders bike go after the new piston we put in??
