Because Bos are shit and seem to break prematurely.

The Void Air on my DH bike is good. Was considering a match up front but that might not be possible any longer.

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

Ive had nothing but good experience with mine. I havent heard of/ read anything about them having problems? What do you mean by 'break'?

Lowers have been known to fall off, bushings coming loose in the fork, loose tolerances. That kind of stuff. There were some lawsuits because of it. That's probably why you don't see much of them anymore. Sketchy shit.

Pics like above are why we can't have nice things.

The bike shop should have soldered down or disconnected every possible adjustment on that guy's bike to save him from himself.

The air canister sleeves are also rotating on the X2 shocks. Apparently the new ones have an allen screw to prevent that.

Pumping out new tech before properly and effectively ironing out the creases through beta bashing is in my opinion crappy business. Either they're hurting in the income department, or have moved house without the oversight of critical engineering being maintained.

Well I just got my shock back from OGC. It was with them for about two days.

They replaced the air can, which now has a 250psi max. They also installed a volume spacer limiter and my invoice specifically says "Volume spacer limiter installed, do not remove, do not exceed max recommended spacer quantity listed on ridefox.com".

So when they do this to mine I'll have a shock that I can't use anymore because I'm too heavy for it (250 psi gives me too much sag). Sweet move Fox, I'll be looking for a full refund.

I suppose so? I run mine around 238 so for now I'm just under the line.
