I may have the chance to pick up an ohlins fork at a decent price. I assumed that I was going to get the coil as it's the latest and greatest but perhaps the air is the way to go?
I think that my local terrain works pretty well with a slightly more linear rate then is currently fashionable (desert terrain with lots of mid size bumps and constant vibrations at the handlebar, not a lot of really big compressions).
But it's going to be on an all mountain hardtail that I'm guessing would suite a progressive system that doesn't dive too much to maintain geometry.
It's an awesome choice to have to make!!
