Dakine Announces The Universal Pickup Pad
I know this is a wild thought, so hear me out.... some people need/want a truck for truck things.... and then, occasionally just might want to transport a bike in it. The alternative solution could be worse when you try and load a half ton of manure into your delica...and explain that you dont have a truck because your van transports your bike in a particular way.

@iiman: This new system is designed to have very transparent service and replacement intervals for the customer. Never leaving them to guess when it's needed.

First Ride: The Sub-$600 RockShox Domain and Psylo Forks
@valrock: Hahaha, could very well be. No performance degradation if it had none to start. I probably cared less about a click or two of compression damping back then too....

First Ride: Fox's New Transfer Dropper Post - Adjustable Travel, Up to 240mm of Drop
@mirskeinereingefalln: the limitation is more on the bike frame. My 5'4" wife uses a 180 on her fat bike because the top tube is so low and she likes a low seat for a descent. I'm 6' and use a 180, but would go for a 210 if the bike frame allowed. I like to keep the seat just above the knee joint on the way down.
Whether right or wrong... lower is perceived as better so if the seat can reach your climbing height and drop super low for the down because you like it.... why not?

If you service it yourself it wont cost $200, but parts (cartridge) + shop time will be near $200 I'd say. With the oneup you wont be able to add air to squeak a few more weeks out before getting serviced either...

I have the opposite impression but I'd like this perception to be put to the test. Older suspension seemed to go forever without a service and still perform reasonably well.... while modern forks need service more frequently with the lower end forks simply not cutting the cheddar. RS 35, Manitou expert damper, and cane creek all starting with poor performance or losing it quickly until rebuild. The Marzocchi/Fox Rythm series seem like excellent budget options still though.
2014 Fox Factory 36 Fit 4 vs 2024 Fox 36 Performance would be a good test
Alternatively,
2010 RS domain vs 2024 RS domain
