Fox factory suspension training

Early one Tuesday morning Nick, the Fox tech rep, came to Freewheel to give us some factory training.


The Freewheel mechanics gathered around Nick as they took in their coffee and donuts. From left to right, Chris, Nick, Tyson, Bryan, McChain, Dave, and Patrick. I'm not sure if Patrick blinked when I snapped this photo or if he was still sleeping:


Here, Nick shows us how to use the centering tool to reassemble the TALAS adjuster:


Everyone is listening for the faint noise that indicates that the TALAS adjuster knob is clocked properly:


After the training is over we all got free stuff!


And now you can get some free Fox stuff too! The first person to e-mail me at peteh@freewheelbike.com with the correct answer to the following question will win this very cool retro Fox hat (free shipping in MN only). What does the Fox acronym "TALAS" stand for?


We have a winner! Here's Matt lookin' sharp in his new Fox hat.
