Don't give up on the ctd yet you can really change the way it feels, i have been playing with fox air can shocks for a few years now what do you want it to do? I am on a commencal meta 4X which i have had for a few months and i am still playing with the set up, to me that is half the fun. Before that i was on a meta sx which was a great bike but a bit much for what i am doing these days and i wanted a change, i could not find anything left to change. Did you find any of my jumps along the river?
