I just gave the Vivair to my homie KyleJ for his dh bike and never bothered getting it to fit on my DHR. That said, I did the tuning for his Voltage so I did ride it around. The Vivair isn't a bad shock my any means but I definitely prefer my Vectair for a few reasons.

1. Easily rebuild-able. Just pop off the can and slick honey the seals. If you try to pull a Vivair apart, you're gonna have a bad time.
2. Easily customize-able. I'm running a negative air volume spacer on mine to help keep the initial travel plush and stictionless. And a special shim stack courtesy of grand master wizard MikeD
3. X-Fusion HQ is literally at the base of my backyard trails and all the homies that work there are f*ckin' rad people

You can pop off the can on a vivair easy, lubing seals take all of 15mins

Well I suppose they fixed that then... I had one of the first run pre-production Vivair's and once you pulled that thing apart it would never ride the same, over-the-top complexity

Anyone having issues with their Boxxer WC's?
Mine seem to have developed some sag, or at least they don't rebound all the way.
They don't use the last inch of travel.
If I bottom them out a few times eventually they pop to full travel.
What's up with that?

Well let's discuss DH, I'm building my DHR and I don't any experience in setting chainline, is there a way to tell whether it's setup right or how to get there? Thanks!

wasnt there a tech tuesday about that? my friend keeps adding spacers until the chain is straight at 6th or 5th gear because thats like the average gear

I have 2 bb spacers on the driveside and I run my chainring on the inside tabs of my crankarm.
