That's one sweet smoooothee ride!

wall.... it's like this. Technical stuff puts me to sleep. So I tend to go with people opinions from those I trust. I ride and hang with a bunch of guys who some have been around since the advent of mtbiking. One guy's beeen guiding in Moab and Fruita for years, and has seen everything break and fail that CAN break and fail. He postively hate rock shocks, call them "rox sux". You should've heard him swear when I told him my seals were leaking again.

I've taken this person's advice on components numerous times and have never been sorry. I replaced my hubby's RS with a Marzocchi EXR last spring, and boy, is he one happy rider now.

Maybe it's a goofy way to shop for bike components, but it works for me. Sort of like finding a car mechanic you really trust if you aren't wrenching yourself.
