Are the hooks for your misses to suspend you from the ceiling with your underwear when she finds out how much the wheels cost 😂😂😂

No-no-no! The bedroom hooks are a different colour. These hooks are for my pleasure only. 😉

I have to know why you put a DHF on a rear wheel when DHR tires are designed for the rear? To be honest, I used to run DHFs front and rear on my DH bike to ride Whistler as it was the "IN" things to do but now I run a DHR as the good Lord intended (they are usually cheaper too!) and I am not sure if I am good enough to notice any difference. Assegai on the front for the win (but it should be EXO+)!
 
New helmet. Now that I've gone back to full face, my super air is just too hot. All the reviews and comments say the proframe will be a lot cooler. Proframe RS ... Not thrilled with the pink accents, but in stock helmets for 20% off at one of the lbs near me and not worth the extra money to not look like somebody drew with a highlighter on a helmet.

I like the Proframe RS (Whistler helmet) and it seems to have better air flow than the Bell Super Air R Spherical MIPS Convertible Helmet (Every other mountain helmet) and you may enjoy the "spit" feature, not usually so accessible when in motion, on most other full face helmets YMMV

Cause I’m a REBEL…just kidding. (Good eye btw).
I had the DHF laying around the cave and I thought …why not, I’ll probably never notice the difference 🤷‍♂️

Assigia on the front for sure 👍🏻…I’ve learned my lesson more than once.
 
Adding some Sky Blue Bling to my Red Bike.

SPD Pedals
Valve Caps
Stem Bolts
Water Bottle screws
Seat Clamp
Grips
Chain Ring Bolts
Mud Guards

I'll post picks when it all turns up.

Oh BTW. Why Sky Blue ? Quad Lock fittings on handlebars have sky blue in them. So that started a theme.

Of you’re going all out on colours I would try to buy from the same company if possible, preferably from the same anodising batch. You’ll end up with 10 different shade of the same “colour”.

I've done this before. You are never going to get exact colour matching. It's also to match my new clothing and shoes, which aren't all exactly the same sky blue. So I'm not looking for exact colour match. Just a red and sky blue theme to the bike and my clothing.

Oh BTW. MTB shorts are just Black Fox shorts.

I agree with the EXO+. Those are definitely in my sights for the next set. They make sense for the Fuel and might still protect my precious carbon wheels.

I don’t see the slab drops like you do in Squamish, but some of our rocks are like knives in certain areas. I’ve only had a few “burps” but I’m close enough to home and gravity can help, if you’re using a CushCore. (Btw, I don’t plan on a CushCore for the Fuel…yet!)

I run EXO+ on my trail wheels and and DD on my rear wheel for Whistler, with Cushcore in all of them, as like you said, carbon wheels are precious! I have never burped a tire (I think the Cushcore eliminate that) but I am always loosing pressure on my most of my carbon rims. I have replaced the tape on one of my rims which seems to be holding air but I have not ridden on it yet. Maybe the pressure loss is due to my low tire pressure (F18 R22 @ 185 lbs) and I keep breaking the rim seal?

I’ve been using the Filmore valves on all my tires for the last few years. The only time I lose psi is on the trail, (burps or puncture) but the CushCore has helped me out more than once. (Rear only). I will lose some psi over months …but not much.

I’ve changed and installed numerous tires for family and friends (not an expert) so I’ve developed a few techniques that seem to help. Especially with rim tape and valve cores. I use MucOff sealant but everyone has their preference …I just don’t mix them or use the same product.

If anyone is on the fence about adding a coil do it. It makes the bike so much more monster trucky. Not sure if I can feel the extra 6 mm or of travel but the traction is noticeable. I wnet with the 205x65 and not problems with fitment.
