Thanks for the positive info... finally...I'll use many of your last recommendations. Sorry for the long delay/reply, out of town... Everyone is different. From the beginning, I said I'm light (160 lbs.), using a small size frame, I'm into mostly aggressive CC riding with some AM, I'm not into hucking, etc. I'm a former 1980's BMX'er/1990'sDownhiller (John Tomac days) & I can push it from time to...

That's pretty much the quick and skinny right there.

I hate trying to resize pics................... Finally got it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couple pics from yesterday.

My El Guapo currently sits at 40 lbs and I use it for everything, but I agree if you're more an XC guy looking for a plusher ride but still wanting to do aggressive XC stuff then full air will be good for you........just don't ever ride a coil; cause it'll ruin you for air shocks

Bad news boys.....The Ti is RIP for 2010. I've had my Ti EG down to Sub 29lbs with some Carbon and lighter wheels and skinnier Tires, that lasted for about 2 weeks, went right back to the syncros bars, Flow wheelset and 2.4 inch tires. The extra lb lost was nice on the uphills, but the skinnier tires and flexier wheelset, just made things a bit sketchy on the downs. There was a guy on here with a 29 lb EG, but he had skinny tires and...

I'll go with freak event. I've been riding my Motolite a season now, including some fall rides with leaves covering all the sticks that could want to eat my RD, and no problems. That said, it's mountain biking, stuff breaks. David B.

If you want a reliable Zoke nowadays, it's got to be something not air sprung, not closed cartridge damped and without travel adjustment. Only decent options are the Float and the Lyrik. The Float being a tad cheaper for same performance gets my...
