Anybody know how Curnutt's rank up there? My new bike has a choice of a Curnutt or a Romic.. and I am leading towards the Curnutt.

if your'e bike isn't a foes,Don't go for the curnutt because it won't fit your'e bike.It's special made for all Foes bikes.

welll my new bike is a foes... so my option is a romic or curnutt.

defintly the curnutt shock,the romic's won't fit they have other eye leds than the curnutt.

question i thougth that any foes frame come's stock with a curnutt shock.Was your'e frame with out a curnutt shock?.

I haven't picked it up yet.. but it comes with either romic or curnutt. And the romic fits fine.

the millyard racing shock...Ministry of Defence engineerd! then Cane Creek.. thats my personal opinion. my Race bike runs a 2007 Vanilla R with PUSH internals and TF Tuned regular, makes for a perfect no nonsense simple race shock!

funy. its the only shock with high and low speed rabound and high low speed compression. it weights less then a dhx 5 and for me its cheaper with my new frame..

Fox dhx shocks are not that great. They bottom fairly easy but don't really dampen the small bumps all that well. Although the DHX is very reliable it's just not that advanced. I cant wait to get a Cane Creek or a Revox on my bike, I am fed up with the DHX's mediocre performance. 2 cents

Use the Curnutt...they developed the shock to work wit the foes bikes, like specialized..but they actually work right.

I've Ridden a 6way for 2yrs and have had no problems at all. it took a while to set it up but after that it's amazing. I also haven't blown it up yet and can say that it takes quite a beating now only from tons of small stuff but from huge drops and gaps too.
