i put them on because I wanted to shed weight, I've had no problems until recently at the bike park when I could hear/feel the tire sidewall fold in g-out turns
yea the weight savings would be nice, as dumb as that sounds its a pretty heavy bike stock. Notice a decent difference with the different wheels as well? Not sure how much lighter the spanks are but the stock ones were super heavy.
Whats the clearance like on the sides on that shock? More than enough? Im thinking about getting a fox float X2 and thing its fairly close to the size of the vivid air canister wise.
