General Bike Related Banter / Re: Economically adventurizing a EXC 500
« on: April 12, 2018, 08:35:32 am »I need to lower my wife's 250 EXC. I dont have Hilton to help me in Honduras. Could someone put me onto a link where I get these springs etc.
I need to lower it about 5cm and have gotten it down by about 2cm just by pushing the front forks all the way up and adjusting the suspension.

General Technical / Re: Technical question - non-bike - USB port replicator question?
« on: April 10, 2018, 10:39:49 am »
A PC USB charger delivers 2.5 Watts of power (5 volts at 500 mA). An iPhone charger delivers 5 Watts (5 volts at 1000 mA). A Retina iPad mini charger delivers 10 watts (5.1 volts at 2100 mA).
While all of these will charge your iPad, using the USB connected to a PC will charge your Retina mini four times slower than if you used the iPad charger it came with. Conversely, if you use a tablet charger for your smartphone, it'd charge up faster than normal (Note: Some devices like the iPhone will only draw up to 1A of current no matter the charger). If you play mix-and-match with these types of chargers like this, don't worry – you're not going to blow up your phone or anything crazy like that. And the myth that charging your device at a faster rate will reduce the life of your device's battery is false. For some older devices, the higher specced charger just won't work at all, while newer devices will just charge faster.
Above should help

Right click properties ?
Looks like shutter speed low which did not freeze movement (those creatures do not stand still) plus you shooting out of hand at 300mm i presume so got camera shake.

WildWood would you have accepted waiting a month to get a service booking after spending good money on a brand new bike ?
And once you have waited for that month get told it will now take 3 weeks to sort warranty repair out ?
Fuck that ! scream it from the roof tops i say
