Wow this is apparently a lot more complicated than I thought! I would say: Trail - anything that has been designed for MTBs. The colour or grading is largely irrelevant. Possible exceptions: Jump line Bike park (could still be full of trails!) Ft William? Is the DH World Cup track a trail...

JTech are always super helpful. 👍

Without wishing to be patronising, it sounds like your issues are much more connected with your riding than with your geo or bike set up. Working on the fundamentals of body position will yield far more results that tweaking bar angles. I think it's important to recognise that not all things can...

More like 62 and a wee bit I would have thought, still a very slack bike though.

Perhaps you are riding a bit far off the back of the bike on the steeps, which in turn is reducing your front grip. If you're then using a lot of front brake because it's really steep, then it could be easier to lock the front wheel. All of which could be exacerbated by having a slacker than...

This is very, very location dependent. If you live somewhere steep and technical, the limit will be largely irrelevant on the downhills.

Functionally it seems fine. My only beef is that you have to cut to size.

As above, your wheel should definitely fit the fork. As the torque caps are bigger than regular, the receiver on the fork is commensurately larger. This means fitting a wheel without torque caps may require a bit of fiddling to get it to line up, but it will definitely fit. On rs forks I've had...

What kind of fork? Torque caps usually just pull off and push on, although I've only used them on Hunt wheels.

I've had very good results with Sprindex as well.

J-Tech have always been really helpful for me. They appear to have a new, more detailed spring calculator. https://j-techsuspension.co.uk/pages/spring-calc A progressive or not spring will depend on the kinematics of your frame I think.

So what would you clean with after a bleed? Will soapy water be enough?

Pretty sure it was this one: https://www.r3pro.co.uk/collections/bleed-block-spacer/products/bleed-block-and-spacer-tool-for-sram-code-brakes

That's definitely how they're supposed to work, but some seem a bit better at it than others.

When I had Code RSC I did this regularly as it was the only way to keep them feeling nice. Not something I have done often with other brakes unless they are disgusting. With the Codes, I used a little 3d printed template my friend lent me. It allows you to expend 1 piston out at a time...

Why is it so important to film your racing?

I am sending the 38 Performance from my Decoy in for warranty due to a creaking CSU. It just so happens I have recently bought a Factory 38. I went to swap the two forks, but I cannot get the Factory fork to sit properly. When I tighten up the head cap, the fork becomes extremely stiff in the...

Not really sure why there are so many special gadgets in use. I use a super cheapo, Lidl special bike. It holds my Decoy just fine. It does have 4 legs though. I clamp all my bikes by seatpost, never had any issue. However, for general maintenance, I mostly use a wheel stand. For chains /...
