Don't go with the 2011 codes, I've spent quite a bit of time on them over the last couple months and still much prefer my saints and formula the ones over them. They have ok power but the modulation is horrible in my opinion. Also have you thought of putting a vivid air on? They ride amazing!

Can't say I've thought about a vivid just because the shock is internally tuned different due to the fact that it's floating. The only other shock that I know is tuned specifically for the Floating Pivots is the RC4.

my boxxer is the 11' R2C2, same bar, cranks etc. though i have shimano brakes and sram shifting and you have avid brakes and shimano shifting. pollar opposites. either way nice ride - just got a Ti spring for mine and it feels amazing. next step for me will be the wheels!

bigbigbike (Feb 14, 2011 at 12:06)

How much did the Ti spring change in ways of feel. I wanted to pic one up last year but I ended up breaking my wrist and sat the season out. So far as I heard they are just a bit more supple and are just an easy way to save some weight.

devin-m (Feb 14, 2011 at 17:36)

for sure more supple and softer even though i opted for the same spring rate - just upped the boost valve 15psi, half turn more of bottom out and one click propedal and it feels great! (i have a 450lb spring) bike is noticeable lighter. my full build is around 37ish with 2.5 dual ply minions

bigbigbike (Feb 14, 2011 at 17:52)

yeah as my bike sits I'm hanging out in the low 36's and I want to hit 35 this year.

devin-m (Feb 14, 2011 at 19:17)

Ti spring will drop more than half a pound, 35 is too light for me! good luck though

bigbigbike (Feb 14, 2011 at 21:57)

lol to be honest the bike feels more solid the more i build into it. I don't sacrifice strength for weight so for me 35 lbs just makes the bike feel non-existent. Thanks though and I hope you have fun ripping your session.

bigbigbike (Feb 13, 2011 at 21:07)

lol there is always something but thanks!!

dillpicle (Feb 13, 2011 at 21:15)

maybe a vivid if your feeling it.

bigbigbike (Feb 13, 2011 at 21:17)

I was thinking an RC4 maybe, I've never rode a vivid.

saint brakes

bigbigbike (Feb 13, 2011 at 23:00)

I had saints and didn't like them. Traded them out and set up a Code Caliper with Ultimate levers. Hopefully upgrading to 2011 Codes by summer.
