MTB SLACKER SCALE from Motool

MOTOOL SLACKER SCALE WORKS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKES AS WELL

 

Motool has released the Slacker MTB bundle and Hex Key Axle inserts to allow riders to use the Slacker digital suspension tuner on mountain bikes. Now you can use the most trusted suspension tool for off-road, dual-sport, adventure and street motorcycles on your full suspension or hard tail mountain bikes!
Slacker brings a whole new level of precision and adjustability to MTB suspension setup for both forks and shocks. No more screwing with those cheesy, inaccurate O-rings on the shock body and fork tubes. Now you can see measurements in real-time and, unlike the old O-ring method, you can actually bounce the bike to settle the suspension properly. By taking an initial measurement of the full travel of the rear axle, measurements directly reflect the percentage of travel used at the shock to match manufacturer recommended sag settings. It also offers riders a standard way to measure across all the different linkages and suspension types for all of their bikes.

The new Slacker MTB Bundle works for all your off-road motorcycles as well as your mountain bikes with 6mm thru axles right out of the box and can be used on Street and ADV bikes with the option Slacker Street Kit. For riders who already have Slacker, Motool offers Hex Key Insert Kits with a Hex Key Axle Insert as well as the universal fork/seat post adapter as well as individual axle inserts in 5mm, 6mm and 8mm sizes to accommodate different axles.

EKS Goggles Outstanding Performance!

 EKS Goggles

 

 

Having just completed an OTMX race and also returning from a week long ride in Baja, I just looked closely at my equipment.

I realized how often we take our vision and protection of that vision for granted. Especially as I get longer in the tooth and the vision is not what it once was.

I have a few different brands of goggles I sometimes go between, but just noticed how often I have been grabbing my favorite pair. My EKS Brand goggles! The reason being, is that I seem to never have any kind of issue when I use them. It doesn’t matter if I am racing an OTMX, riding trails in Idaho or desert riding in Baja. They always seem to protect these old eyes, never seem to fog even when slow going and working hard in difficult sections. Whether it is boulder fields in Baja or extremely tight trails in Idaho. I seem to get away with keeping my goggles on when all the other guys are taking theirs off because they are fogging and have difficulty seeing.

As I recall this past week long trip to Baja I felt sweat on my face but never removed the goggles. I could wait until we hit easier sections and just lifted the corner to speed up the drying of the foam on my face, Perfect! I never fogged and could always see and had protection.

The final realization now is that I never fidgeted with them as they were comfortable all week long, the same pair.

I have several different color combos and they all look great as I mix and match. The life of the EKS goggles has been outstanding. I would have to give these babies 2 Thumbs up!
