As Primoz said down below, none of this really matters until people know what the hell to do with all of those clickers! I'd wager that half of the buyers, perhaps a third, never change their suspension settings after they roll the bike out of the shop. "The bike shop set it up for me." "This bike/fork sucks, it's too harsh." Here's today's MDI (Million dollar idea! Given free, just hand me some cash when it pays off.) Why don't all of the suspension houses have traveling tuners?
