    24 Hour Race Equipment/Logistics/Stratiges Considerations

    The weather must have been cold. In the middle of the summer, during the day, we needed to charge 3 bikes at once. And it could get worse if there are more A-pack bikes than R-pack bikes.

    24 Hours of Starvation Ridge in WA -- October 26 & 27, 2019 (new dates)

    On an Alta it is harder to pass other people courteously than to let others pass you. Often they don't see you. Sometimes they do but do not let you by. Other times you may think they see you, but they don't. Yelling at them may work in your favor in some cases and against you in others. I've...

    It's definitely the first! But a good therapy can help too, if it is a (moto)cycle therapy! :ricky: If you guys come to race here, I may feel morally obligated to come race over there to the West Coast next year. It's also a 33-hour drive for me.

    Dal Soggio for 4CS?

    I think your 2015-2016 SX uses a thinner front axle than the 2014 flavor that is on the Alta. This makes everything a lot more complicated. The Alta has 14mm wider triple clamps, a wider front wheel hub, and a longer front axle. You might have to swap the fork's internals or swap the whole front...

    Newb here -- Making a charging adapter

    Newb here -- Making a charging adapter

    You do sound like a newb when you ask electrical questions. That's okay, many of us were where you are. Everyone in-the-know hesitates to help electrical newbies, not wanting to be responsible for them burning their bikes, houses, or killing themselves. We would much rather have you alive on...

    OX-Hydra brake LHRB

    That applies only when you do not install the Clake insert seal correctly. But if you install it correctly then there is no problem. And it does not apply to the OX-Hydra LHRB because it applies not a hydraulic but mechanical pressure on the rear master cylinder piston, just like the stock...

    OX-Hydra brake LHRB

    Interesting. It might work. I see the attractiveness of an independent hydraulic system, especially for the ease of installation. I just do not like the bicycle master cylinder and the thin hydraulic line.

    Tempted to sell, kickstand woes

    Well... I have the solution then. Get off the bike first, then deploy the kickstand second. Adjust the kickstand's length and/or the rear spring preload to adjust the lean angle to your liking.

    Tempted to sell, kickstand woes

    How about getting off the bike first and deploying the kickstand while not sitting on the bike compression the overly soft suspension? I am trying to solve the problem, but I am not seeing a problem here. Why does shortening the kickstand make the situation worse?

    Tempted to sell, kickstand woes

    I am trying to wrap my head around this. What do you mean by "overcenter" ? Do you mean that the suspension shouldn't extend when the bike is leaned to the left? The CG height on Altas is actually much lower than on other dirt bikes. So the CG height is not it. Have you owned any other...
