15 hours ago It was fun being able to watch the race conclude, although it's a very different experience to a DH World Cup. With 1-minute gaps, you only get to see a fraction of the stage, and without split times against the overall standings it was hard to get a feel for exactly where the riders were stacking up as they were...

7/16/2026 6:55am Which EXT fork did you have? In my experience, they only got good as of version 2.1 (that's when they made big changes to air chamber volumes and improved the damping a lot), prior to that it was pretty much as you described. I did enjoy my time on the 2.1 though, for sure.

7/16/2026 4:57am One of the things I've noted in several Öhlins fork reviews I've done is that I think the "magic" and part of the reason I get on with them so well is the air spring. To me, it's crucial to have the right balance between the different air chambers, and I always felt that Öhlins nailed that with the newer...
