Agree 100%!

Interesting review. I'm running a 160mm RXF 34 on my Enduro but have been struggling with setting it up - particularly getting traction under braking. I've found that I have to run the rebound quite slow at my preferred sag (20%), or else run the fork quite soft (i.e. more sag) to have my preferred quicker rebound, to find the front end grip I'm looking for. Wondering if the article writer might have any setup tips...? Maybe the ramp up chamber might have an effect on this?

Much better write up on the OWN shoe on Dirt, here: http://dirtmountainbike.com/longform/own-fr-01-shoe#IZ8l8BKujbYAjgER.97

Always worth a try, and would definitely work for some. For what it's worth, my wife has tried on heaps of dudes shorts, but always finds the "leg holes" to be too big/wide. Maybe my bike-related obsessive compulsive disorder has rubbed off on her...

My wife was so excited for these, until she saw how just short they are.... She knows that fashion isn't everything, and she's a bit of a girly-girl, but even she is dismayed at how dorky above the knee shorts look with knee pads (especially in the bike park). For any other ladies out there looking for something a bit longer, she bought a pair of Dharco's recently (https://www.dharco.com/product/ladies-freeride-shorts-blk/) and absolutely LOVES them. I own several pairs of TLD Skyline/Ace shorts, and I have to say that the Dharco's are every bit as good as the TLD's in fit and quality. To Troy Lee Designs: my wife requests longer shorts, pretttty pleeease!

Thanks for all the replies, and to Cane Creek for getting involved in the discussion. I'll be looking into the stainless steel adjusters when I'm due for my next shock service. Cheers.

Thanks for your reply. For reference I run 2 clicks LSC, and 8 clicks LSR on my DB Air and this feels pretty great for all conditions. The DB Air manual is clear that setting all adjusters to neutral settings is important when setting sag. To find the neutral settings, you need to wind all adjusters out first for reference.You COULD count back the number of clicks from fully in for LSC/LSR, except that there may be more/less than 25 clicks available due to manufacturing variances (for example, my DB Air has 27 clicks of LSC). The DB Air manual also says that you should stop turning LS adjusters as soon as resistance is felt. Unfortunately the resistance felt when the LSC adjuster is wound fully out is no different from that of one of the adjustment "clicks" on my shock, making this design approach confusing. I still maintain that the design of the LSC/LSR adjusters is rubbish. I feel that this flaw is exacerbated by this shock being clearly designed/marketed to be tinkered with; I would often re-check settings when dialing in my shock. Cane Creek has in the past introduced remedies for design issues such as introducing a high flow can for the DB Air. Perhaps it is wishful thinking that they would support their "old" tech, instead abandoning it under the guise of "progression".
