Fits 40S

bought this for my fox 40s, quality is spot on and the blue matches the adjusters on the fork

Exactly 500g each as told.

Quiet Till Really Hot

Posted on 24 August 2016 about Arctic Sintered Disc Brake Finned Pad Kit by C. Aslin

So tried these pads in the alps and they never faded but when they got really hot they would squeal, not the worst I've heard and certainly not surprising. Would buy again

Fader

i don't know how people can really review bars. they should just work, right? these do just that! but i specifically bought these because they're pretty and match my bike's colour. unfortunately, they've faded pretty badly.

Superb

Posted on 2 August 2016 about Stans Arch Mk4 Rims by J. Edmunds

I replaced some Ryde Trace Trail rims with these Stans Arch mk3 and I'm very impressed. The Ryde's got badly damaged by impacts that I barely noticed, where these Stans take big hits with no visible damage to the rim. These are 50g heavier than the Ryde's they replaced but they feel massively stiffer and are certainly tougher. After battering them for a month they're on my all-time favourit

Nice, Just Take Care Of Your Pressures!

Posted on 2 August 2016 about Ryde Trace Trail Rim - 650b - 32h by J. Edmunds

Easy tubeless conversion, light weight and extra width are great. They did seem to get damaged relatively easily when trying to take advantage of the width to soften my tyres though. My fault entirely but lower presures are what wide rims offer. I also have a set of Ryde Trace XC rims that are even lighter than these Trails, those are still in perfect condition running normal pressure on my XC
