I want to see fatigue tests with frames that have scrapes, scratchs, nick, gouges, and rock impacts on the frame.

The majority of people know how modern carbon frames are made. I would like to see the manufacturers put out videos of them testing frames after wear and tear has been put on the frame and components to get rid of the carbon = fragile mindset, that is if its not true....

With that weight and that spec list it "shouldn't" be breaking any time soon. Unless you crash into trees and bottom out all the time.

The RP23 works well but it depends on the rider (weight and riding style) and the bike. Changing the air volume doesn't change the dampening of the shock. I had the HV section of the air can of my RP23 filled in with a custom plastic sleeve I made plus the largest Fox volume reducer in too. It just "soft" bottoms out at about 80% of travel and rides like a pogo stick. It was awful and ruined riding experience for me on that bike. BUT like I said, the RP23 WILL work for some, but there are a few factors involved. I also had mine Push tuned and they still couldn't get enough dampening out of it.

A list of bikes that the CCDB Air will work well and not work well with would be good and whether that will need the HV can. Definitely worth the money if a RP23 doesn't cut the mustard on your frame. My Yeti ASR7 was abysmal with a RP23 mostly due to my 95kg weight and partly due to the suspension design. CCDB Air fix the problem for me, no more wallowing.

Hasn't anyone seen the Dave Chappelle episode where he shows how everything is cooler in slow motion?

The freehub is a very similar design to the Shimano hubs.
