Not exactly the right thread, but whatever. I have been thinking of putting a rc4 on my enduro. I'm guessing i need the 8.5x2.5 and then get reducing spacers or something. Does spesh sell an evo kit with all the fittings? How difficult would this whole process be? That red enduro is pretty nice. i give it a 7/10
Hell yea, go for the RC4...It will transform your bike! When I got my new frame it had a new RP23 and I entertained the thought of using it for weight savings. 1 ride down the street and instantly thought eff that no way!!!
I want the rc4 because the rp23 does not work very well for aggressive riding. I also need help with selling the rp23. It has very few miles on it and no signs of wear. What could it go for on eBay? Would I list it as a 8.5x2.125?

It will sell quick! Im not sure the stroke? What is retail new? I would try to sell it here too! Most items I have sold on feebay went for fair market value! Im sure if you start the listing at say, $100, it should go up to slightly under retail!

Where do you usually ride?
The rp23 is fine for my local trails (for the most part) but its not great if I go to northstar. I bottom out frequently with it and before people tell me to increase the pressure, I'm already running it at 30 psi over what it is supposed to be. I also put grease in it to increase ramp up. The biggest thing I've hit with the bike was a 5.5 foot drop to flat, the shock did not like that at all.

I used to have a Nomad with a DHX 5, and now have a Vector Air on my Mojo. The Vector is every bit a plush as the coil shock was- you may want to consider a DHX Air or Vector Air or something else comparable for weight savings...
I don't care about wieght. My enduro is supposed to be my dh bike and 31 pounds for a dh isn't bad. I'm not going near a dhx air. I've heard way to many complaints.
Have you looked into the Double Barrel Air by cane creek? or even the double barrel? I just put one on my shinobi. I have not been able to ride it yet, as we seem to be getting 30cm of snow every night this week. I grabbed it since the compression and rebound have independent high speed and low speed adjustments. It also comes with spacers to change the air can volume to help adjust ramp up. I also generally find that in order to keep an RP23 from bottoming out, I need to run it with less sag than I would like. I can't wait to get the shock that is completely dialled for me.
A few years ago when the double barrel was a prototype, I think I read that it was originally designed by Ohlins.
I am not a Specialized dealer so not sure. Check the Cane Creek website.
