How many people have had major shock failures on the 2012-2014 Demo 8's. I'm talking about bent shock shafts, complete internal failure, or anything that is catastrophic. I keep hearing about people bending shock shafts but can't seem to find any info on this happening. I know the first batch of Ohlins shocks had issues with the eyelet stretching and the valving was subpar as well. Curious to see what comes of this. Pics of failures would be great. Thanks

I'm curious as well. I've hear that earlier versions had issues with the cane creek double barrels. Later they started to use a thicker shock shaft. Personally, I have a 2010 demo 8. I'd love to get a 2013 carbon demo, but I'm really not a fan of the shock mounting. But I think that if I did get one, I'd use a early dhx rc4 (with the thicker shock shaft) and send it to avalanche.
