The rockgaurdz carbon one is mostly fiberglass. it's reasonably priced and does a good job. I've damaged it several times and epoxied it back together. You can also heat mold it.

Great fork. buddy just put one on an Enduro. I have the 35mm boxxer with the hybrid coil. It's the best fork I've ever ridden.

4 guys I ride with have mullet setups. 2 with boxxer, 1 zeb, 1 ohlins. Don't forget the extra 20mm from the wheel/tire+ the 20mm ATC. 40mm total with 1.5-2 deg of HTA. I'm running the 0 offset crowns to get the front end back and add weight to the front. 29er takes a lot of weight off the...

It could also be flex in the bearing itself. If the bearing keeps working it's way out, I would look at the alignment of the frame and other bearings. I swapped to NSK bearings and the whole bike is much more solid with less side play in the suspension.

ECO up and TURBO down = max elevation and max smiles.

Specialized Kenevo is still the best bike ever made! :)

I true my rotors with a dial gauge to +-.001 inch. They still touch the pads on the road when the fork and hub flex. Rotors this big only take a small amount of play in the bearings, fork, hub to ting ting every now and again. If they don't rub when their hot, I wouldn't worry about it.

The X2 fits some frames and not others, so it a variance in the frame. If you space the top of the shock over a couple mm, it usually fixes the problem.

Worried NO. BUT, I would make sure that whatever is causing the damage is fixed before it gets worse.

Yes. Cable/housing have different thermal expansion rates and your shifting will wander with large swings in temperature.

I have a feeling that this happens when you bottom out the suspension and the force has no where to go.

You will need to press out all the bearings and that requires a blind puller. it is also not the easies thing to do. then you need to press them in with a press set. You will also need a torque wrench to put everything back together. It's more involved they you are most likely prepared for...

I replace my rotors every 4th set of pads. I measure them too, but don't push the limits of wear anymore. Usually rotors don't wear completely evenly and as the wear performance drops off. Of course I'm only getting 300ish miles out of a set of pads and 1200 on a rotor.

X2 can rub the frame on some bikes. mine was close so , I spaced to over 1-2mm ish for extra clearance.

Old Boxxer with a custom damper is the best fork made. It has the best air spring and lightest chassis.
