Interesting! Not sure how they got this far without picking it up, and I was going to speculate on other causes but decided against it. I've never worked on one of these And yeah having more oil on the seal doesn't help, although a failed RSU seal quickly makes a huge mess too. Ideally seals are always "leaking" a tiny bit to maintain a film on the surface, so the RSU fork should be getting at least some oil back up on the wiper. Good lubricating oil sticks to the surfaces so its not 100% relying on gravity. A proper...

Welcome to the wold of inverted forks Colin! In regards to Intend and torque caps, the lug design has changed over the past couple years. It's not that all torque caps are no longer compatible, as much as they are not as effective. The contact area between hub and fork lug is much smaller now and any advantage an oversized end cap interface had is now lost. Left original version, middle current, and right blackline. I agree that the one piece forged version should be inherently stiffer. It would be really interesting to test torsional deflection between the blackline version...

The newer sealed damper is very similar to the previous open bath version. Intend basically put a rubber bladder over the damper body, the compression unit still comes off in one piece from the bottom of the leg. The shim stacks are quite different however, the older version had a stiffer compression and a softer rebound tune. There is also (as of 2025 or so) a new LSC needle that is different from before. It has a slightly wider range, smaller adjustment steps (17 clicks vs 11), and closes off the LSC circuit more than the previous version.

So is poor bushing fit and chassis bind now a "good thing"? Saying you don't notice bushing bind in a fork that has never been ridden without the bushings binding is pretty funny. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/comment-fork-alignment-and-friction-in-th…

Intend Flash 35 Update The rain has finally come and the trails have been excellent as of late with the Flash getting some ride time and tuning. This is one of the best trails around, segment 28 of the Colorado trail above Durango. Roughly a 15 minute descent, great for suspension testing and tuning. Being very similar, I assumed that the air spring settings from the Edge would transfer over to the Flash. This has not been the case. The air spring setup from the Edge running at 175mm was much too linear for the Flash at 190mm. Currently experimenting...

Regardless of what any of our opinions are on the Nine One, I want to say thanks for being so involved in this thread and wanting to communicate clearly and directly. Direct and public communication between customers and the head of a suspension company is nearly unheard of, so it's appreciated! Thanks, Darren.

My responses are out of concern for a rider who spent what I consider to be a large amount of money with my company, and not being happy with the results. That's not acceptable to me. It doesn't matter where the customer bought our product; I only ask as it helps with context. In the case of my first post, the rider was trying someone else's fork, so there's no more than I could offer. In regard to the post that you linked...something about the original fork that Skunk Works received just seemed off, and we wanted a longer look...

I guess I should have put an emoji in my comment, as this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek mostly. That being said, it is my understanding that the Dorado fender is a one-piece structure completely integrated into the guards, much like what DVO did, which is different than what we're doing. As for EXT, their system was introduced long after we had begun going down this path. At the end of the day, we'll just have to see how things play out. This is definitely not my area of expertise. PUSH is a very small company compared to companies such...

A couple of notes to consider. Spring Rate. Yes, you're in the camp of riders that we developed the Sub Chamber system for. The V2 Sub Chamber is 100% backwards compatible with that fork. Chassis. This is a tricky one as the the front hub plays a significant role in how the chassis performs. This is why there's such a broad range of rider feedback in regards to stiffness with inverted forks. My guess is that FOX didn't want to roll the dice with this variance, which is why they committed solely to the 20mmx 110 boost configuration. Our recommended...
