quotes How did it ride in the snow? Is it tough to get those big wheels up to speed? Thanks,

quotes No, it was from pacific (Bamfield, to be exact).

quotes All images and video were taken with one Canon G10 camera. The video was a bonus really. I tucked my camera between my chest and the chest strap on my pack and turned on the video mode, just as a trial one day. The results were decent so we kept doing it. It's no go-pro or anything and it does have quite a bit of camera shake going on, but considering the effort we put in, I'm quite happy with the results. One benefit over a modern helmet cam (in my opinion) is the lens. I find a lot of helmet cams use very wide angle lenses and you miss out on the background, but usually that's fine since the purpose of the movie is not to show the background. In our case, I think the background added to the video. Neither of us are videographers or anything. Our day jobs have nothing to do with video production or any type of media. Considering that, I think we did okay. Dustin did all the editing, and I chose the soundtrack. Anyway, the movie is like 20 minutes long, so you should probably go get a beer before you press play. Audio: 1) intro: clips from the Dead Man Soundtrack my Neil Young 2) Black Mountain - Plastic Man You're the Devil 3) Omar Rodriguez-Lopez - Coma Pony 4) Black Mountain - Angels 5) Pink Mountain Tops - I (Fuck) Mountains

quotes If your current fork has an R damper cartridge, you could put the RC2 from this fork into your old one. Then, you'd be gaining high and low speed compression damping.

quotes Yes, you should be able to do that. And, you'd get the sweet 20 mm quick release system, instead of the bolt tightened system on older fox's. I understand that the Talas has longer stanctions that the float and vanilla, but as far as I know all 36's share the same lowers (just different colours). While you've got the fork apart, it might be wise to install new bushings and seals while you're at it. The best thing to do would be consult with your local shop before buying.
