Do the new remotes ship with the special syringe or is that something us home mechanics have to spend even more money on?

If I remember and understand correctly, I believe trek ditched the full floater on the new slash so they could build a 15in frame and use the same shock e2e and stroke on all the frames and utilize the benefit of a DH shocks extra air volume as opposed to a trail bike shock which would be less volume and a shorter overall length. And I do believe that someone mentioned that shock tuning is so good now that the full floater is pretty much irrelevant which is why they ditched the design on the new slash. I have no idea as to why the session is moving toward the non-full floater design though. Here is my speculation: Trek has been using "metric" shocks for years now (try converting their funky inch measurements into milimeters. It seems like a sound theory to me and lines up close with current metric spacing options) and because of this, the engineers can revise linkages and use a shock specific to their new and improved design (the whole point of metric shocks). Now that they have a better linkage, they have made the full floater irrelevant and inferior to the new design therefore antiquating it. I think the use of a smaller shock on the remedy and fuel ex is why trek is still using a full floater on those bikes; they can still fit the same shock and a full floater on a small frame.

The only lame thing here is you bashing this kid who clearly is just stoked to be doing what he is and is enjoying life to its fullest. The CO way of life doesn't involve putting others down like this. Maybe you should move to the bay where the rest of your kind reside
