nickelass Posted July 20, 2013 Share Was looking for something like this for a while and to be able to afford a new one at last! Haven't been overly satisfied with rockshox in the past, ( Had Revelations, The old Judy, SID, Boxxer) but at this price I decided to give them another go.Have a lyrik on my mbuzi (converted to 170mm ,and coil) and very happy with it. using the hard spring . Paid double your price thou. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/126041-your-enduro-ride/page/38/#findComment-1998629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelass Posted July 20, 2013 Share I have heard people say that the DHX handles the bigger drops better than let's say a normal Fox RL/ RP 23 My trance with RP23 feels plusher compared to the shova / dhx. I have to inflate the DHX that I get about 20% sag only otherwise it bottoms out. It does have a very linear feel to it. i've considered to try the FOX spacers to make the air can smaller to give it a more progressive feel. Your experience with it?Have the DHX 4 on my Mbuzi and I think the linear feel is something you get to like about the shock.Since I am only doing relatively small drops and jumps its ok.Have noticed it does go through a lot of travel though.

Riding Cascades as our backyard, you get used to the climbing.

Yeah, I think that 1 x 11 was designed for Bike Parks with Ski lifts. I would love to run it on my bike for the simplicity, but I have spaghetti legs, so I would never cope with the climbs.

I would love to run it on my bike for the simplicity, but I have spaghetti legs, so I would never cope with the climbs.Have a good look at the ratios. With the 42T cassette it's not that bad. I've ridden a 34T XX1 setup on a 650B PYGA in Cascades and coped just fine. Running 1x10 36T - 11/36 on my XC Niner and its great. About to change the PYGA to 1x10 34T 11/36. Evobikes have started bringing in a interesting item recently which converts a 11/36 SRAM cassette to 40T (replacement sprockets for the upper section of the cassette). This gets you many easier ratios on a 1x10 setup, closer to the XX1.
