yeah it's a piece of shit Dude :-) does nothing for mu haemhorrhoids ;-)

 It's looking awesome
Got a question...how do you find the CTD?

 you know what i'v never rode it,i bought the shock brand new and there were only 10 others at the time in the country so Mojo told me,to be honest i don't even know if i'll ever ride the bike anyhow,i have another Five and all my Patriots so why cane a £9k bike,seems a bit mad,probably just ride it in less damaging conditions and special occasions,as far as the CTD's concerned then i reckon it'l just be a fancy RP23 and i'm so used to them that i'll probably just stick it in Trail mode and leave it,i consider the frame to be the most important thing and i certainly get the most out of a Five so who knows really :-)

 The RP23 is sooo much better on a Five. CTD is a pile! Blows through travel far to easily. I got rid of mine after a few weeks and fitted a ccdb. Now that is an awesome shock. What's the point of a 9K bike if you aren't gonna ride the shit outta it

 Dude you know how 9k stared ? well i got my frame and thought i needed to off-set the weight of a dropper post and things just spiralled from there,i feel like a right dickhead for it but it kind of got out of hand and now it's got to the stage where i just have to finish it,i try and keep a bit of a low profile about it sometimes but it's hard to do,lol,i mean how the feck do you keep something like it quiet ? it's about as loud as it gets :-) never been to happy about the CTD either and i love my 23's,i got the CTD to match the fork really,got a Kashima topcap on it as well :-)
