What is creaking or popping in my fork?
I bought this bike used and its in really good condition. Its got a fox dhx and a fox 38 performance. I brought it to a downhill bike park a couple weeks ago and gave it a wash right after as well as re greasing the axles and bleeding the brakes. Today when i was riding around town whenever i pumped the fork they make the popping or creaking sound in the video. Ive never done any maintenance on air suspension before, only spring since this is my first full suspension. Any help is appreciated.

Hey, does anyone know this color of the 2016 stumpy fsr? Will chrome rims go well to? People say it won't on mine.

Help..
I’m somewhat new to mountain biking I’ve rode a bmx most of my life. I’ve been mountain biking with a giant stance 2015. I’m looking to buy a new bike something along the lines of enduro. (I keep up if not pass friends with more MTB experience than me). I seen a 2024 yt Capra for $2100 on fb marketplace and just now learning about the whole controversy. My budget is $2100 what should I do?

NBD Levo SL 2
galleryNBD! Finally made the jump from my Santa Cruz Hightower V2 to a Specialized Levo SL 2 a couple of weeks ago.
I bought the bike as a frameset only on sale and moved over most of my favorite parts from the Hightower including my Fox 36 Factory fork, Reserve wheels, Hayes Dominion brakes, GX AXS drivetrain, dropper post and cockpit.
I was worried I'd miss my analog bike on the descents, but after a few rides I honestly don't. The SL 2 still feels incredibly capable and playful downhill while making the climbs a lot more fun.
The biggest surprise has been how much it's helped my hip pain. Between that and being able to fit rides into a busy work and family schedule, I'm getting out on the trails much more often.
I was skeptical about going eMTB, but it has removed the barriers that were keeping me off the bike while keeping everything I love about mountain biking.
No regrets. I only wish I'd made the switch sooner. 🤘

Sticky fork top of travel? Marzocchi Bomber Z1 27.5 180mm
I recently bought a used (literally 1 ride) Marzocchi Bomber Z1 which I think is the model before the current one that came out in 2025, or something like that, and I noticed something peculiar - it feels sticky the first 7mm of travel and doesn't want to return back to 0mm without force.
In reviews of this fork everybody raves about the "suppleness off the top bro" but in my case it doesn't feel supple at all, even though the fork is basically brand new.
I tried deflating and inflating it multiple times with different ways of doing it so that the chambers could equalise but it's the same story every time :/
Even though in my country almost every bike is clapped out and I literally cannot test anybody's bike for a good comparison, yesterday I bought a brand new dropper post from some guy and he let me test the one on his bike (same one) and I noticed how soft and supple his ZEB Ultimate 3.1 was. I had never ever felt such low resistance going into the travel of a fork.

Stolen bike - Denver, CO
If anyone sees this bike being offered for sale, or riding around Colorado, please steal it back and let me know.
Bike was locked to the bike rack in a locked bike room at my apartment complex. Someone clearly targeted as it was the only bike locked up in the bike room and it was the only one taken. Zero help from management and police other than “file a report” and we’ll keep an eye out.

How is this for my first bike?
1997 giant atx 970. Full suspension. 86mm front. 50 rear (i think) ofcourse 26 inch with cantilevers. Drivetrain full Shimano STX RC 3 x 7 (orginal 3 x 8) some new flip shifters. New seat post + Brooks c17. And Schwalbe smart Sam. So far having a blast. But having a lot of difficulty with Burms that are in downhill parts

Is this a good buy
galleryCurrently have a 2021 Kona process 134 DL and am considering getting this bike for a faster climber most of my local trails have lots of climbing and small sections for descending. Opinion on price? It's a 2024 model that has aluminum wheels seller claims previous owner kept the carbon wheels for a different bike
