First, I love these articles still. You may get bored reading that comment, but it opens one's eyes to what the heck is happening inside the goods. That leads me to secondly, and correct me if I'm incorrect here, that interface between the comp rod and the air piston appears to be a ball joint, and if so BIG kudos to X Fusion for designing their air piston to work with the inherent flex of a sus fork. I've wondered for a long time why manufacturers haven't taken that route to get rid of side load interference and friction on their air pistons. Might bit curious to see how it holds up.
