9/28/2024 4:49pm I think as long as they feel even that's all that matters, I've found my levers end up at different positions from left to right just going off of feeling. I suppose 4 clicks is a full rotation of the reach adjuster, maybe it can be re clocked to help them match up better.

9/28/2024 1:10pm That is surprising but I guess goes to show how difficult it is to replicate the same measurement on both sides. Did you remeasure after matching the clicks?

Good question! FLOAT X and DHX Live Valve Neo shocks were designed for the application of Trail and All-Mountain riding, where transitions are extremely quick, and in some cases quite jarring. The overwhelming majority of on-trail efficiency which can be achieved from firm suspension is attributable to the rear shock, and any delay in the Opening of a fork’s compression circuit— even 1/70th of a second—would be noticeable to riders. The insignificant gains in speed efficiency offered by a firm fork are not worth the sacrifice in on-trail performance for the Trail and All-Mountain disciplines.

I’m not 100% sure on the logic of this (if the longer hose makes a difference) but I often find my rear brake feel suffers much more IF the pistons are not all contacting the rotor at the same time. Once I ironed that out on my Hopes I found the front and rear much more similar, and the rear much more firm. @Jonathon Simonetti had some great tips earlier in the thread (pg 5) on this.
