@ knobbyist Is it possible to convert a zokie fork with air springs on one leg and coil springs with air preload on another to full coil springs on both legs. i really dont mind the added weight. do you know any good bike mech who does this sort of thing?
......i wouldnt recomend doin that... a little fabrication for the internals would do.. but it would be better to get a new fork, its cheaper than fabricating and it will last longer... hehehe

@soul
Some Hi-end bike shops gives more attentioning to english-speaking clients rather than those with local dialects like me. I sometimes make tsamba on hitting few sentences when I have dictionary with me, but still, my bisaya accent makes it worst than my spokening english.
........ hehehe high-end shops .... no comment, ummm its just english dnt worry, most high-end bike shops tend to judge first time customers by their car, clothes, looks, bike, speech, and etc. .. some LBS shops are like this too.....
.........its not the shop prolly.. its the people behind the counter is what shakes things up.... and its the " If ur gonna ask you better be sure your buying it!" attitude thats gonna piss off a few customers who actually go to bike shops to learn more bout the products they intend to buy..... i hav a good point here,
...............i go to other bike shops to check stuff out and sometimes purchase stuff, i didnt go there to be eyed from head-toe and ignored over my inquiries just because im wearing slippers and i smell like the sun? i get that too...... hehehehe even nowadays...
hahahaha, back in the states i get that a lot too... cuz i aint white but i got over that too... cuz everytime i go here i buy high-end bike( its cheaper eh!) then bring it home, then the crew over at the LBS just goes "DANG!" ..... they became nicer rednecks! hahahahah......
its a lot worse here...... same skin color just different languages..... hence: THE MYSTERIES OF THE FILIPINO SOCIETY............. lol
........ ever listened to megadeath's song Holy Wars....... it goes brother will kill brother, coming all across the land, killing for religion something i dont understand.......... hahaha

@ Soulcontrol,
Don't worry about your grasp of the English language and your diction whenever you're buying bike parts. It's not necessary. Go ask Extendead about what shop we frequent. Over there, you get a lot of Tagalog, English, Carabaoglish, Taglish, Fukien, Mandarin, Bisaya (and its variations), I'm not sure what the Maranao dialect is called but I hear it there, Nihonggo, Ilocano, Chabakano, Tengwar Quenya, even a little Bahasa Malay from Rocketman.
We hardly understand what the other is talking about but we always have a great time. So you see, you don't have to be fluent in English to have a good time hanging out at a shop and picking out parts at your own pace.
And when it comes to riding your bike... to paraphrase a certain saying:
Talk is cheap but components are not.
Just make sure you put a gag on Extendead's mouth whenever you accompany him to Paulina's store. We are not very popular there due to his uh.... scathing critiques.

Thanks Red and Santino! Actually, it was months ago but its worth telling so bike shops can be informed. Not all pedros are innocente. They just don't go to Starbucks to practise their english and drink a cup of coffee with their pinkies pointing up. We sometimes kill cows for a living. Hehehe!

I beg to disagree with Extendead... but he will never EVER admit that he had something going with a certain shop owner's daughter. But we all know the truth eh?
I remember those days, when the daughter would emerge from the shop and scream at the top of her lungs, "P--------------------------------------------G!!!!!"
Man, if that's not love, what is?
As for Wonderboy, that's our own dirty little secret. He's the guy who took a dive somewhere around [bleep!}. Lucky for him, we had some Mueller tape to bind his sprained arm in a makeshift sling. But of course, we had to filch some cardboard from the guy sleeping a few inches away from the crash site.
Furthermore, Extendead is guilty for nearly killing our very own beloved Ipis Pangkalawakan due to reckless impudence. [translation: suplado sa preno]
Ever tried asking Extendead about his favorite trick?
The no-bike superman.
Give him a good enough reason and he's sure to fling his bike in the air.

extendeadis it true that too much speed can cause hair lost? for sure papa bans is bloody fast and you're fast too, but whatabout extendead? is it true or just a myth? ....................yes, frequent heat, humidity, sweat and lack of ventilation inside will fry your hair first before it does permanent long-term damage to the brain! (661 claims that it is possible ) ..................... and no! helmets dont protect your intelligence! just your hair! ......................... but i think the source of all baldness in the DH community started from Edmund Mangaser? i thought his condition was the origin of the disease......? @ quiesledaddy ...hi nono .... heheh......

@ extended
peng and jenny ! sayang you should have a bike shop now!
we did wowowie trail this morning hehhehe
Budy explain?
why is 180 mm is 7 inches? in mtbike world?
but if you compute as thought in mapua
its 7 inches multiply it by 25.4 mm/ inches = 177.8 mm
180 -177.8 = 2.2 mm
Where did the 2.2 mm go?
did you hide it?
8 inches is 203 mm?

@ coiler
1. is it true that carbon is tougher than alloy, just for the record...
........................ if we compare the properties of CF vs Alloy.. CF is lighter and almost as strong as alloy.. altho CF is more susceptible to structural breakage. alloy has more dense properties if in DH application it disperses stress loads equally which gives it better advantage in strength... no its not true.
2. is there a carbon dh frame is it safe heheheh...
.............yes there are, its safe cuz these CF bikes are not whole CF, only segments of the frame are CF, and these CF integrated bikes are engineered..... heheeh
3. what comes first the egg or the chicken?
.....................The egg.
@ yetiman
1. which is a better bikeshop? Airconditioned or open? Which suites the most of us?
.................. aircon, for more comfortable marketing conditions heheeh, but open air is also ok.
2. Are the "yuppies" for real?
.........................Yup, Young Urban Profs.....the DH market has evolved not only to the old-skul hardcore riders... but most of the Yuppies prefer to start in the mtb market @ XC then eventually move on to DH..... hehehe...
3. What kind of sunblock does DHers use?
Hawaiian Tropic 70spf (moisturizing, Aloe enriched, Non-migrating, non-greasy,absorbs quickly, Dermatologist tested)....
guaranteed to preserve the ATenista, Lasallista complexion.... (sunblock is still cheaper than met-tathione!!!!)
@rocketman
.......... its the 2.2 mm sag ....... heheheeh.....its a suspension requirement for all pneumatic(air) or Hydraulic(oil) or mechanical (coil/elastomer) suspension technologies, the offset sag is what manufacturers refer to as ... "anti-spike" pre-load...... hehehe
