I also feel that the quality of the sole has really declined. I remember my old pair of Sam Hill's Impact that lasted several years with a good grip.

I really don't understand the lately hype with Ohlins. There're a lot of tests and articles of theirs products which are eulogistic when a lot of users are complaining about their performance. A few people during bike park sessions told me that they had struggle to adjust properly their suspension. I tried too and i lend my bike to a few friends to have theirs thoughts and they were unanimous, it's not rideable as it is. So i finally sent my RXF36 Air and my TTX2 to a Professional tuning. They confirmed me that it's necessary to remove the famous "grey spacer" from the fork to improve the sensitivity, wich is quite strange for an high range suspension. They also made a proper tuning to decrease the HSC damping and the sensitivity of the TTX. But the results are not turning out as i expected. It's better for the fork but there 're still to much damping in the HSC, a too significant rebound even full closed, wich result to a pain in my palms that i never had before, even with a cheap fork. Like if it's locked on HSC. I have a similar problem with the TTX. A weak sensitivity on small bumps and a harsh feeling on HSC. I finally switched for a 38 grip2 and a DHX2 and it's like night and day. There're also good feedbacks of theirs products so i wonder if it's not a question of damping tunes wich are not suitable for all frames. Or maybe some compagnies ask for a specific tune for theirs bikes.
