In the spirit if super aggressive short travel rigs, I rebuilt my Spur with a 130mm Helm MKII Air and a DB Air IL in the rear (120mm), with an overdamped, highly progressive tune. On steep and rough trails around Pacifica, it's like being handcuffed to Jackie Chan. You can dance through wave after wave of violence and danger and laugh it off - as long as you bring your A-game. If you bring anything less than that, you will run out of talent and luck very quickly. I write this as I sit with my shoulder sling, wondering if the short-travel roulette game is still worth it.
