What's up with Jackson's Shimano brakes? Looks like electrical tape covering the name, and the hose end looks different - a weird boxy shape.

Well I finally got tired of waiting for an update, and bike park season starts here in less than 30 days so I ordered two! One for me and one for the misses. Hopefully have some feedback to share in a couple weeks

Glad to see others don't buy into the whole "pedal kickback" thing. Personally I believe it's down to unpredictable anti-rise causing the suspension to firm up, which you'll definitely feel more through the pedals. Having tried a bike with an O-chain, I still felt harshness through my feet, it seems to be solving a problem that doesn't exist. Now, stopping the chain from flapping around like the rimpact claims to, is a really interesting prospect!

Sounds good! Anxiously awaiting the report. have been on the fence with the o-Chain all offseason mainly due to the maintenance (frequency & Complexity). If I can get a full season out of the rimpact chain damper and it is comparable to the o-chain in performance I am pretty sure I am in. Going on the DH bikes, so pedal...

Full review coming soon, but I just received an updated version of the Rimpact with a lighter set of springs and will report back after my first ride on Friday. The sealing is a million times better on the Rimpact damper (they're from the UK) than on the Ochain, so that's in the plus camp. I didn't love the stiffer springs on the Rimpact, so I'm curious to try the softer springs. My understanding is that new Rimpact Chain Dampers will now ship with both the softer and stiffer springs for both types of riders. Full review will explain more...
