@CaneCreekCyclingComponents: Isn't the DB coil IL aimed at the enduro/trail segment? Aren't there quite a few enduro bikes currently using the 216x63 shock size, as well as some new ones with the 230x65 size? Seems odd to offer the coil IL in the traditional 2.5" stroke size but not in the metric size that is most similar. Is it reasonable to expect that over the next few years frame manufacturers with enduro bikes using the 216x63 size will move to the metric 230x65 size since that's the most similar in stroke length? Perhaps this is the eventual increase in demand you mention as necessary to offer up that size in metric... I'll keep my fingers crossed, I think you guys have a winner with the coil IL---it ticks all the boxes (coil with low weight, adjustment range, fits in tight frames) for bikes that get ridden up and down. Can you get the shaft eyelet off the coil IL with the help of some soft jaws? Maybe I'll machine my own eyelet to make up for the 14mm difference and deal with 2mm less stroke... I know I wouldn't want the extra ~200g heft on my daily driver for a piggyback coil shock if I could avoid it, but maybe I'm being too picky. Most of the air shocks in the 216x63 size have a piggyback for the base valve to give additional compression adjustment and lower nitrogen pressures and not for increased oil capacity, no? I've done plenty of 3000+ ft descents on my DBinline and heat/fade is never an issue so I don't buy the whole temperature argument for bikes with a ~0.42 motion ratio
