OC Downhill MTBers

Picked up a used 2013 vivid air. I thought it was a 2014 but oh well worth a try. Anyhow im pushing 245psi to get 30%sag and the max is 275. Man hopefully this shock is ok lol. Anyoe know a good shop that service vivid air?

 

cant make it this weekend. but i think i have a big group of buddies going up the 16th.... im planning to make that trip.

 

ive heard good things about Push, Avalanche, and GarageWorks.

and yea, 245psi sounds like ALOT. i dont have experience with that shock though so im not certain. just seems like a high number to still be sagging that much

 

Too far and too expensive lol. I want a quick turnaround lol.

 

well shit out of luck then! haha. my local shop (The Path - LiveOaks) has always been pretty decent with tune ups and rebuilds. about 3-5 days out.... might be a little far out of your way too though.

 

Yep. I just might need an aircan service and not a total rebuil

 

any local shop should be able to see what it needs. The Path is my only local shop (out of like 5) that i have had good luck with. All the other shops around me have horrrrrible customer service and took forever to get anything done.

 

And its raining and snowing. Damn damn damn

 

Arghh

 

haha yep, i am seeing that all over FB too. looks like opening day is not so open. haha.

 

Did San Juan this am, excellent conditions after the rains, and it wasn't crowded. had a blast. Big Bear opening delayed due to snow, so this was a good alternative.

 

IMHO, SJT is no alternative for snow summit..... lol. sure it is a fun, long ride... but not technical at all. totally overkill riding a DH rig there. sold my all mountain bike because it was too boring and not challenging enough for me.

 

First half of sjt will be a pita with a dh bike. The last part though would be fun except when u have to turn on the switchbacks.

Impromptu gmr west run yesterday. 4hours of sleep, had to bail out in the waterfall section. Just not up to it.

 

Dax.... need more speed through that loose stuff so you dont wash out.

 

Yep no more front brakes

 

what!?....... fronts are vital..... i wouldnt feel safe riding without em.

 

No i mean in that section. Lol. I kinda tap the fron that why i went to the left side and got stuck on the small mound.

 

hahaha OH. i thought you meant you took them off completely. i wanted to actually call you a retard LOL.

i hate the loose sections like that though.. took me forever to get comfortable plowing through em.

 

Hahaha. Yeah that part is very loose
