[Closed] Kashima coated stantions

I wouldn't be too sure, even my bro was shocked at the difference.

Let me know when you get it done, I will welcome you into the upper class 😉

Nah, think you miss my point- I'm not saying there's no difference (I've no experience myself), just that in general some people want to be impressed by a new part or change, particularily when it was expensive.

Frinstance, I once changed the rear caliper on a mate's motorbike and at the same time, gave the front once a wee cosmetic clean and polished the logos back up just because they looked silly with the new rear. He was well impressed with the increase in front braking 😉

Incidentally, in the class war, what wins- PUSH or Kashima?

Ahhh, I get ya.

Actually, surely my PUSHd Kashima shock will mark me out as your new ruler since you'll just have a scaffy standard shock, which you probably found in a bin while looking for dinner?

Jesus its Kashimas Wars

Well no, mine is a 2012 one with adaptive logic, making you still inferior 😉

Flow is Kashimas'd up, must say the Kashima RP23 adaptive logic look the nuts

Isn't that all just about slightly changing how the propedal lever works?

What bike you got at the mo SBrock?

Nice suspension Flow, its a pity you couldn't afford a decent bike to attach it to.

Yeah NW.

Basically you can chose to always run PP in the off position (0, 1, or 2) and the on position is PP3 for climbing.

I know mate, times are hard.

What bike do you have partyboy?

SC Butcher with 2012 Van 36 RC2 Kashimas 160mm

Ahh nice, I'm a fan of the Butcher, good upper class choice of bike there.

It's the Lime Green one on the first page of this topic, custom built by moi!!!!!

Nearly went for a an Alpine 160 but couldn't stretch that far and if I could I would of got a Nomad!

Very nice indeed.

They do look lovely in green I must say.

Alert: Annoying smug upper classes around!

😆 who tagged that?

Bike? I am not a single bike weekend warrior, I have a selection for differing purposes.

What bikes then? 🙄

Edit: Don't even think that makes you one of us, pauper.

Wouldn't it be funny if a growing number of Kashima forks were beginning to wear through the coating - and that changing the seals on the forks actually made this problem worse.. that would be an unfortunate set of circumstances ey! 😉

Its not going to happen though is it, lets face it.

They have stepped up to the needs of the upper class and supplied us with gold. Maybe the poverty spec forks/shocks will start to wear, but not ours.

Im not gonna face it just yet 😆

Maybe they should have put a decent coating on them years ago.

So does this kashima shit allow you to bimble round the woods at a marginaly faster speed than your bimbler mates?

Bet they're blown away with the extra 20% more slipperyness. 😉

Stu, you can only afford one gear, I wouldn't expect you to understand.

What bikes then?

I'm not one for willy waving, rest assured not one is an overpriced piece of British crap 😉

Flow.

Only afford one gear. 😆

Thank foook you've never had a look in my garage.

It'd give you a heart attack.

I'm not one for willy waving, rest assured not one is an overpriced piece of British crap

Ahhh, overpriced Taiwanese crap, how pauper-ish.

Only afford one gear.

Only joking stu 😉

There's nowt Tai in my garage.

There is plenty of Ti though. 😉

BTW. Glad to see you've been carefully monitoring this thread while some of us have been out down the pub. 😆

The money you've saved must have helped you pay off your Elizabeth Duke club card. 😯

Ahhh Ti you say? Welcome to the upper class Stu 😉

Wow stu, you must be so chuffed with your ascension. Company must be great!

Sorry.

I can't see you for all the people that have been in this room for a while.

Are you one of those people that think they can get in with some Rattners gold.

Edit v10.

The company i keep couldn't give a flying **** about what colour your fork stanchions are. 🙂

Only joking stu, get some gears and some kashima and we might let you in.

Until then mingle with the rest of the paupers.

Edit: Actually come back, my shoes need polishing.

*looks towards the common end of the forum. Ignores the youth that are yet to learn the truth and caries on.*

flow, by the looks of it you don't actually ride your cashima clad bike, just talk about it on the internet...ergo I'm not too convinced by your experience!

Only just got it (this month), not ridden it much because I have been ill for the past 8 months. Is that ok with you?

And its kashima, its not wool coated.

Doesn't sound that good. Suppose it depends on whether you've got a bike that wants propedal on all the time, or not.
