Get yourself a Charger 2.1 if you need it, Charger 3 is really not on par with yet...

Yep ! Thumbs up for a very factual article. Buttercups reminds me of older elastomer forks like Judy XC circa 1995, and I was wondering since RS released it why they didn't propose different hardnesses for their elastomere, like on Shore scale, to adapt for riders weight... But anyway it looks like they have come full circle ... Yo dawg, I heard you like forks, so we put a Judy in your Zeb so you can Judy while you Zeb !

@lkubica: Yep. My priorities when buying a frame 1. Material/conception/realization 2. geometry (slack enough, low BB, steep seat tube) 3. low AS/PK, low and progressive LR 4. low or neutral AR Knolly nicely match these points, if you think of another brand, please share !

@stormracing: may I suggest to directly buy a frame with low AS/PK values instead of trying fixing it with expensive patches ?

This is a workaround for the negative effects of having a frame with too much AS/PK, as 90% of current bike market, because people are stupidly buying the "climb like a goat, descend like the GOAT" thing without questionning what it implies to have a transmission that positively lock your suspension when you are pedalling...

@lkubica: next time get directly a frame with low AS/PK, you will have all the benefits from ochain without actually needing (or buying ) one...

Or directly buy bikes with low AS/ pedal kick-back and progressive ratio (i.e. well-designed kinematics) and stop the linear ratio/high PK mafia...

So the answer to life, the universe and everything symmetrical is just $42...? It can't be so simple... Fox only bought marz, not AWS...

Still very funny to mislead market research. Bring some more.

@VorsprungSuspension: "if you're someone who buys forks/shocks with HSC/LSC adjusters so that you can back it all the way off twice instead of just once" You just nailed it (and make my day)! My experience with coil vs air on shock (X2 2020 vs DHX2 2020 with same factory settings on Knolly Warden) is that air spring friction account for at least 3-4 clicks in LSC on coil spring. That being said, I can run the X2 with HSC full open thanks to air spring progressivity instead of closing HSC 1/3 from full open on the DHX2. So, my point is air spring got more friction BUT allows you to run less HSC, which finally account for a more sensitive suspension. Maybe I'm wrong but I do prefer to rely on air spring progressivity rather than hydraulic to maintain pitch attitude and support because of speed-based shock filtration is constant and doesn't account for speed of bike, weight distribution, shock compression (i.e. not position sensitive), topographic variability of trail, up, downs, etc... That's only my opinion, I got to thank you because I learned a lot from your Tuesday Tune, so I will be very happy to get edified on my points. PS : I've set a luftkappe on both of my 36's to fix harshness and mid-travel support and it worked really great.
