taylor1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Greetings Dave , Got it all bolted up last week and have been putting miles on it daily. A few more hundred miles and I'll re-check the torque values , and then as they say , it's off to the races. LOL Bernie , when I received my rebuilt rear Ohlins , I was told it was set and good to go. While I had the rear wheel off , I checked , and the rebound was not set. I gave it the 17 clicks they recommend . Made a world of difference . 2 1 Link to comment

roadscholar Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 As I recall, pretty chilly. But there's more to the story (isn't there always), we had to abort the ride and backtrack across the river because my two riding compadres wussed out once they saw the terrain on the other side. 1 1 1 Link to comment

roadscholar Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Ive crossed that river 7 or 8 times but yeah the law of averages catches up with you sooner or later. The good thing is the bottom is mostly smooth rocks about the same size, the bad thing is not ALL the rocks are the same size. Plus the entry and exit are 60-70 yards apart requiring you ride up the river a ways and have to make a 90* turn at some point. It’s actually a fun and relatively easy crossing, def doable on an RT, the trail on the other side not so much : ) 2 1 Link to comment
