Aheadset & Fimoco 121 & Dart Extreme

[Luca Bonaventura]

Hello!
I'm searching for:
1) A little guide (in internet?) to learn how to adjust an aheadset.
2) Some information about the Fimoco E121 fork: how can I open that fork to
change the ineer elastomeric pack?
3) Some information about the Dart Extreme full suspension bike: how can I
adjust the preload of the rear damper ('Flyte' named)?
Thanks to all! BYE!

ciao, ho lo stesso problema e 121
per aprirla, togli i tappi sulle 2 teste degli steli con una lama.svita la brugola da 5 (lunga 20 cm)che c'è dentro e poi tira fuori gli steli, togli i paraoli con un cacciavite (sono incastrati duri) poi togli le guide con la testa di un raggio. capovolgi i foderi e gli elastomeri cadranno fuori.
pulisci i foderi e poi cerca i nuovi elast. o 2 molle da adattare, e auguri, io li sto cercando da mesi....

Bicycles should not be allowed in any natural area. They are inanimate objects and have no rights. There is also no right to mountain bike. That was settled in federal court in 1994: http://mjvande.nfshost.com/mtb10.htm . It's dishonest of mountain bikers to say that they don't have access to trails closed to bikes. They have EXACTLY the same access as everyone else -- ON FOOT! Why isn't that good enough for mountain bikers? They are all capable of walking....

A favorite myth of mountain bikers is that mountain biking is no more harmful to wildlife, people, and the environment than hiking, and that science supports that view. Of course, it's not true. To settle the matter once and for all, I read all of the research they cited, and wrote a review of the research on mountain biking impacts (see http://mjvande.nfshost.com/scb7.htm ). I found that of the seven studies they cited, (1) all were written by mountain bikers, and (2) in every case, the authors misinterpreted their own data, in order to come to the conclusion that they favored. They also studiously avoided mentioning another scientific study (Wisdom et al) which did not favor mountain biking, and came to the opposite conclusions.

Those were all experimental studies. Two other studies (by White et al and by Jeff Marion) used a survey design, which is inherently incapable of answering that question (comparing hiking with mountain biking). I only mention them because mountain bikers often cite them, but scientifically, they are worthless.

Mountain biking accelerates erosion, creates V-shaped ruts, kills small animals and plants on and next to the trail, drives wildlife and other trail users out of the area, and, worst of all, teaches kids that the rough treatment of nature is okay (it's NOT!). What's good about THAT?

To see exactly what harm mountain biking does to the land, watch this 5-minute video: http://vimeo.com/48784297.

I suggest that YouTube is your friend ... if you simply type "Aheadset" into the search box then there are several, good tutorials on how to do it.

Don't know much about the Fimoco fork though I'm afraid ...
