Whats the cat's arm and below say? Chicken and Broccoli?
I believe it means "let wealth come to the house" it's a Japanese lucky cat Maneki-Neko, not a Chinese food advertisement. Japanese writing and language is extremely different than Cantonese and Mandarin.
 
i dont post here too often, but I did want to post this fix....

My 2019 fox 36 fork on my bronson had been feeling like poop lately.....So I decided to service the lower leg....when i took it apart it was absolutely packed full of grease...from the factory...which on this fork, blocks the transfer port from working and causes air to get trapped in the neg. chamber. Soon as i fixed this mess, god what a difference

Installed my recently purchased off of this forum cushcore inserts on my Mach 6. Using the stock Stans tire valve. Only one problem. I can put air in but can't bleed air out.
There are different valves that you need to purchase to work with cushcore. The air passage at the valve is made different to prevent blockage from the cushcore

You dont need the cushcore valves, in fact i removed mine (replaced them with my old stans valves) as I find the cores tend to leak. Glen, just grab and squeeze the insert right above the valve stem to lift it off the rim slightly, the air will come out.

If I didn't over inflate to pop the bead I would be ok. Rode CR yesterday with 40 psi in the front tire. My hands ache today.

Seal/lowers service on 29+ Pike. On the recommendation of another person, I used Supergliss 100k (that's German, so pronounce it zupa in your head) for bath oil. Didn't have any of my usual fav green SKF seals, so I used the new black SKFs from Rockshox. Holy crap, big difference in lubricity...the fork was like greased lightning. I added both low/high speed compression damping, as well as rebound damping compared to my previous base tune.

Two big thumbs up.
👍👍

I have the better part of a liter left, will let a few people grab 30ml if they want to try it.
