I just got a set of WAO Unions built up recently. IMO the ride quality on these is outstanding. They provide a very damped ride/quiet ride while maintaining precision in rough terrain.
One other note that I am surprised doesn't get mentioned more is that these are built...more

The story is silly and not enough riding, but damn the acting is pretty good.

If you have to over-spring the shock even with the largest volume spacer I think that answers the question already.

I am so tempted, but honestly I can’t imagine the Evo riding much better. I do have to over inflate the rear shock just a bit even with a larger spacer in that dpx2, just to avoid super harsh bottom outs. I’m a big fan of these links after trying one on a Turbo SL.

Its appealing if the alternative for shorter riders is splitting their crotch on the top tube!

Actually, just such a thing exists and you can customize it all you want. It's our Product Guide.
Hit that link and see a sample. I took the liberty of selecting Yeti, Evil, and Rocky Mountain brands. Narrowed it to carbon frames with 29-inch wheels and 120-149mm of...more

Great Video! It’s nice to see in to the bike industry more. I know last year when my business was shut down and my suppliers were shut down due to Covid we had to send trucks of orders away. We didn’t know how long CA wouldn’t allow us to be open for, and after a month of being shut down, and finally being allowed to open it was impossible to find product, and the built up demand couldn’t be matched. I think we were all lucky that bikes (especially MTB’s) were “essential”, but who could have guessed at the length of the shut down and the demand for bikes it would create.

Added reply in a thread Will lighter riders benefit from an RS Zeb or Fox 38?
My two cents is: No lighter riders definitely don’t benefit. I have heard people say the that Zeb and the 38 feel more supple of the top than a Lyrik and 36 respectively, but again I disagree. I experimented with a 38 on my Enduro after a year for riding ... more »
Added reply in a thread Another geo thread - this time, related to stack height
I can tell you that I cut my steer tube longer and use about as many spacers as I can, and I often over fork a bike just to get the bars a bit higher. I have neck injury’s and it really helps to get those grips higher. I do notice that I tend to raise ... more »

So it’s a low leverage rate, with a linear tune, that rides “planted”, but “leaves the ground almost to easy”, but “feels sluggish pumping”, but feels the fun factors of 27.5?
