A pal of mine has been bemoaning the Fox on his Fuel 2020 EX 9.8 since he got the bike, and I've been leaning on him to get on one of these for the tunability alone, much less being able to service it easily. Really, the bang:buck ratio is stupid high for this unit. Regarding side load on shocks from misalignment, I've had it on several bikes, most notably my SB66 (though MY 05 Bullit wasn't near straight n true either). The SB was so bad I measured the offset diff and ordered the spacers to correct it. The bike took on a bit more sensitivity because of it. Crapper to have to do it, but better than not doing so. The force vector alignment and range of options at the drops make Banshee high on my 'potential new bike when I decide 26 is dead', and the Suntour reviews keep pointing towards their boingers being on the bike.
