@Dougal-SC: This. I use the Knipex to put a gentle snug on the syringe fittings. Stops the leaks.

No More Tiny Spacers: Shimano Finally Releases 200mm Rotors
Awesome. Maybe this will stop the manufacturers who make frames and forks set for 203. Ugh! I’m looking at you, my new Orbea Rallon DH with Dorado Fork, both manufactured for 203, both can’t run HS2 200 rotors.

@eae903: I’m just going from memory about what the designers at SC said on that pod. They basically said that the Horst link achieved all their goals and that the Vala rides like they wanted. I’m not sure I’d expect them to say different. It does seem the ride quality THEY desire is being achieved with the Horst on the three bikes so far, yeah?

Listening to old Roller Door podcasts, it sounds like Santa Cruz’s designers have been refining their leverage ratios to linear down sloping. The move to the lower link driven shock allowed that. They long since abandoned their older VPP kinematics. The Vala development was when they realized they could achieve the same kinematics with long uninterrupted seat tubes, via the Horst link. In that pod, they said the kinematics were the same. So I’m not sure they are changing the way their bikes ride with this switch. I do agree their bikes now look like everyone else’s.
