While it might reflect what you prefer, it would also be useful for some people to know if it has the desired effect or if it makes it ramp up too much... On my bike, I had contemplated a volume reducer, but then I found a sag setting that hit the sweet spot..

How about adding the volume reducer and do a follow up? I get that Norco has their idea of ideal, but that doesn't mean it is your ideal... Suspension feel is so subjective that there's no way for a manufacturer to get the right setup for every rider...

3/6/2020 10:06pm I actually came over not too long after Joe... He was my manager at Diamondback in the warranty department.. When Marzocchi needed someone to run the warehouse, he threw my name into the mix and that was the start of a long stay for me..

I got one of the first Super T's in the USA thanks for being friends with Joe B and couple others guys whose names I cant remember now at Marz, most of them came over from Diamondback, so I had a Diamondback X6 with long travel link and super T, so sick! I remember Bryson showing all the prototype colors and finishes they were talking about and pointing to the brushed one and "yeah , that's sick!" Cool story bro! wish we had iphones back then so i had a pic of it

3/3/2020 9:13pm Unfortunately, as weight has become more of a concern, service intervals are shorter... Remember when Marzocchi was the smoothest fork out there? A big part of that is that they had more than 10x's the oil that we see it today's forks.. My current fork uses 10cc in the lower legs plus whatever soaked into the foam rings... That's not...

I regret selling my Shiver and definitely loved my Dorado, just wasn't a good fit for the way i wanted my Gambler set up. I never felt like the torsional flex was a big deal and I always theorized that a little flex that way could help especially in rocks and roots. By flexing, it didn't jerk the bike in a funny way if you caught a weird edge and less feedback to the rider.

2/14/2020 11:35pm I did a little research... the KTM rated at 12hp with a peak rating of 24hp, weighs 245lbs, and isn't limited to 20mph.. A class 1 ebike, less than 1hp, weights around 50lbs, limited to 20mph, and must be pedalled to make it go... The interesting spec... The top of the line Santa Cruz Heckler actually has a MSRP that...
