Wow... just wow

Strange they are using a steel cage on a $600 derailleur package. This kind of stuff drives me nuts. Good to see the trickle down, but I have enough to charge these days.

Fantastic detail and great pictures. NSMB is the gold standard:)

I should have mentioned that. 160 mm on a Ripmo AF

Thanks

I have seriously been considering a Z1 coil. The only thing dissuading me is the limited springs. 

At 135lbs would the medium spring running no preload work?

It sounds like everyone running this fork runs a stiffer spring than recommended. Maybe the medium would work well for a lightweight like me? I don’t want to run the light spring with preload at max....

I’m still stuck in 1998 and rocking shimano 747s and lake Mx 200s. I got some one up flats for Christmas and will be getting some flat shoes this spring. Wanted flats for the occasion I do some steep trails with high probability of crashing

I Really enjoyed this article. I love reading about people rides and the reasoning behind their spec. Nice change from reading about the latest and greatest.

Thanks :)

Any idea if the coil negative springs in the older suntour forks are the same as the negative spring in a DVO diamond? Im a lightweight and would like to run a softer negative spring to get more range from the OTT adjuster. Im not sure if what I’m saying makes sense, but at the psi they suggest for my weight, they suggest 0-2 turns of OTT. My thinking is that a softer negative spring would give me a wider range of adjustments.
