Updates since I took photos -Fox 34 Factory 130mm. The SID was great for XC riding but when pushed, didn’t inspire confidence. The extra 10mm and larger oil volume in the Fox makes it much more planted and supple throughout the stroke. -Future updates 175mm dropper 165 or 170mm cranks Shimano Brakes. The Guide’s don’t have enough progression, they are either on or off and require to much force at the levers.

7/23/2019 3:54pm I prefer to take all the oil out of my fork and run my spring tension really high. This way the fork never bottoms out and springs back really fast after my gnarly hucks.

I run a higher pressure than recommended by DVO and dial in the OTT for a very supple beginning stroke. Doing so keeps the first 1/3 of the stroke supper supple and the end of the stroke firm, hard to bottom out, and most of all prevents any serious. I also added a few CC's of oil to the air chamber for a little more bottom out resistance. Been running the Diamond since 2015 and have used both 160 and 170mm versions. I bumped up to the 170 on my 2017 Patrol to slacken out the head angle a bit...

Don't worry, I got you covered. In this feature length film expect to find only ten minute of actual riding. See the same jump from ten different angles in various speeds of slow motion. Wonder if you are watching a nature documentary or a commercial as the shots flip flop between closeups of riders putting on googles and leaves slowly falling to the ground. Brett Reeder.

Yes my diamond has been great. Really like the adjustability of OTT. I think current diamonds offer volume spacers like rs tokens. This RUNT seems like it’d be the ott equivalent of an rs token. Could offer the ultimate in linear/coil like travel if the beginning, mid and end stroke is adjustable

+1 Request. Nothing wrong with any DVO fork I've owned. I am surprised no one else has jumped on board with an adjustable negative spring like DVO has been making since day 1.

I agree! The less plastic inside a RS fork the better.

I love seeing all these "fixes" for Fox and RS products. More reasons I stick with DVO and the OTT.

Well the older you get the more plush you need. Riding those road bikes with flat bars in 87 must of been rough on the bones.

Yes I am jealous there is not one of these sitting in my garage. I am not jealous of how much $$ it takes to go "full-factory" and build such a baller bike. I prefer to sprinkle my $$ over many hobbies and many bikes.

Ha. It's a nice build, no doubt. Baller builds have never been my thing, to each their own. Dude if you were a dentist, the bike would be made of nothing but Unobtainium!! (BTW is have a 2017 Carbon Patrol and love it).

But carbon wheels, matching graphics, and a 10k price tag make you fast bro. Get with the times!

Simao gets my vote. It may not have 12 speed or carbon wheels but it looks like it gets used and abused. I love my 2017 Patrol and don't have any plans to fall for the hype and upgrade anytime soon. #whatisboost

Yesssssss another reputable fork mfg for them to ruin. Bryson Martin probably hasn’t stopped laughing this morning. On the bright side maybe we’ll see a new player in the suspension market made up of former Öhlins engineers in a few years...

Looks like the casing on that rear tire is getting destroyed. What pressure are you running? Looks like a combo of low pressure and hard packed. I am running the same bike, same rear tire in WT 2.4 and use a Cush Core. After 10 solid days my tire isn't hacked like yours.
