PRESS RELEASE: Cane Creek Cycling ComponentsIn 2005, we introduced the original Double Barrel (DB) shock. With twin-tube technology and four-way adjustability, the DB gave riders an unprecedented amount of freedom and control in determining how their shock performed on the trail.

Based on the original DB coil platform, the DB Heritage has been updated and re-tuned with modern bikes in mind. It comes in an impossible-to-miss silver anodized finish with gold anodized knobs and adjusters. The DB Heritage is available in extremely limited quantities starting December 2, 2020.

The price makes perfect sense after noticing there is Motorex oil inside.
Again, I love the idea. As someone who rides maybe 2 different full suss bikes a year, the ability to hot swap a coil in place of my air shock would be a dream.
I was charged for a new mech, new chain, and service for something that I’m absolutely certain was missed on the check over at no fault of my own. I’m 150lbs with full gear.
Maybe its appropriate to blame the shop at the park for not handling it correctly. I dunno. I just know things do get missed occasionally and it’s a real pisser to be the one who it gets unloaded on to fix.
Setting your shock with the correct sag rate is very important and that sag rate is determined by the spring (weight on coils, pressure on Air). You can run 50 PSI, or a 150lb spring, if you want but you'll likely have a pretty awful experience with the shock staying on bottom and riding like a turd.
Getting the correct spring rate (air or coil) is the most important piece to setting up a shock since that allows for the correct sag rate.
25%-35% of stroke in sag is the range most bike and suspension manufacturers suggest. You would not want to run a 50%+ sag or 15%- sag or something crazy like that.
But yes you are correct that there is no hard sag rate for everything.
Sexy.
My DB Coil CS w/ progressive Valt coil spring is perfect so I'll survive. :Beer:
Feel like a yuppie living down the street from the Tesla factory
I mean, it's only looking....right.

I had always considered getting a second hand fsae ttx25 shock to build a custom double barrel up to get the gold piggyback.
The service guide from ohlins is really good in your into tinkering.
What you call tinkering, I call shenanigans. Rarely ends well for me. Don't have the gene.
How can I order from the UK? Do I have to order via the US cane creek site and pay in dollars and then pay the import taxes?
Will the UK distributor have any?

So im not sure what came first the db or the ttx in this one small particular context. It does also have their "dialed" logo above the adjusters.
