Hey Morgan, still digging the Vivid on this frame? I'm done with my Float X and am considering a Vivid.
Thanks!

Hey Fraser
It still gives it plenty of pop, I did have to add 2 volume spacers into the shock to give it a little more progression towards the end, but it gives it a good mix of playfulness and monster trucking ability. They do not have quite the same amount of adjustment on the compression as the X2, and I do sometimes feel like more low speed compression might aid in keeping the rear end up a little higher, but it feels as good as I can get it now. Definte improvement over the Float X, but a re-shim would end up making it amazing in my eyes.
Cheers
Morgan

Hey man, (I've just got back from Kaiteriteri myself!)
How do you find the Vivid on the sb6? I borrowed a float X2 for 6 months last year and loved it - I find the stock float x blows through the travel in a hurry, then sits in the last half of the travel on repeated hits. The X2 had volume reduction up the wazoo, but it did a better job of getting back to the first half of the travel. I'm wondering if the vivid with the rapid recovery thing is good for that? Also, after some considerable twiddling I was able to get the X2 to still have playful pop, while still having plenty of traction (I was able to get a better all-round trail pop and DH traction than I can with the float X) have you managed to get that sort of feel happening, or does it turn it into a downhill bike?
Cheers, and nice bike!
Fraser
