I was told many, many moons ago that it still weighed heaps despite the missing material. Haha

Totally! Having that bit more to work with on the open end wouldn't be bad for you to at least try.

I'm with you on the Arma. I too am quite curious about HBC tunability and never use the Lok. But the Storia on the G1 has additional bits that I don't know about having added to the Arma. Maybe one day they'll have something specific for it too?

I have one that's being reviewed now. My plan was to do a teardown some time ago but COVID and my own illness are holding that back a bit. It will still happen but when it's safe for me to do so.

Carpark 'testing' the EXT suspension I've also found it to feel slow but on the trail, it works phenomenally well. That's not to say Sanesh won't benefit from an adjustment to his shock's tune, but to agree with you, Jesper. :)

Oh geez, that's incredible! We need to get that in this series, though I assume it won't be on many riders' Dream Build lists

Looks real nice. Loved the old example you shared, Tim. Anyone else remember prior to that? Scott Sharples era. Glorious! They've come a long way.
