Fox rp3 leaking

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I have a fox rp3 rear shock that lost air today once home out with the shock pump low and behold she won't hold air pressure
Changed the shrader valve still no joy but once you get some air in you can hear a leak
So out with the soapy water and the air is leaking around we're the nipple that contains the valve enters the top section of the shock body were you would screw your shock pump on to adjust pressure

So the question is is this nipple a push in with an oring seal or sealant or dose it screw into the body with a oring or sealant

Di2 XTR officially released

Looks like you can have 1, 2 or 3 x 10, and sequential shifting off the one shifter where it moves up and down across however many front rings you have, and up or down on the rear as required to get the next ratio. Or you can still have both shifters if you want.

Fox Fork Kashima Coat Repairs

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

So the Goat Farm hoodoo has struck again. Managed to drop the bike on a rocky up hill climb with the result being that I've put a nice little scratch in the Kashima coat. Does anyone know if there's anything that can be done to fix it?
Cheers

Which rear shock

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hi guys,

Anyone help with advice or feedback. Torn between a Fox CTD X Adj rear shock or the new Rockshox Monarch plus ( soon to be debonair) ....

Any advice?

thanks
Ando

New wheel - recommendations please!

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Having recently toasted my rear wheel, I'm looking to invest in a new set of rims so I'm looking for recommendations for 29" that I can run tubeless and will also put up with a slightly clumsy 95kg rider! Durability over light weight is probably my priority.

Also interested to know where you get your wheels built as I lack the skills to transfer my existing hubs etc over.

Thanks

Just finished building this up. Had a bit of a play in the back lane and the park at the end of the lane and first impressions are great, looking forward to hitting the dirt Sunday morning. I'll get some decent pics then too (with clean wheels!).

Changing rear shock

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hi there,
Pretty new to this, I have a cannondale prophet and my rear shock is bottomed out just sitting on it
I am a big guy, 6"3 and 117kg. When I get out of the saddle to put the power down it just bounces around.
I have taken it to my local bike shop to gas but he reckons it's gassed out.
I can't find a replacement HD or coil over replacement.
Any ideas other than hard tail?

Cheers
Robbie
