Hairy Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 WHAT!? RS themselves swapped it out for the DH damper. That's what I paid for. It was originally a 2-step damper, and I specifically requested the DH, mission control damper. Are you serious? YOu saying that they just changed the 2 step cartridge for the solo air cartridge, and left the damper as the 2L? Yes sir - did a bit of digging, its the RC2L. Thankful it is not the 2 Step, not the best design those....but does explain some idiosyncrasies about the fork.Don't me wrong china, I dig the fork! Works an absolute treat. And kind of happy with the L part too... Yip, that specific one that likes to play all things suspension!DODGY move with the Damper. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

And kind of happy with the L part too... Cool. But not. Also confirmed with Iwan. We requested it to be changed into the RC2DH. The 2 step cartridge doohickey was given to Droo not that long ago for your shop to use. I was also billed for the change in damper. Moetherfoooookers. If you love it, that's great. But it still isn't what I sold you, nor what I was sold. Beeyatches. But -apparently there have been a few kicks on the way out. Close the door behind you type of stuff, in that place that the fork was "changed". For exactly this type of thing. Not doing the job properly.

If you paid for the damper, I would make it a point of getting the damper.... cause it aint a cheap thing that.........

camelman Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) OK. Going to pull the trigger on this baby. Build would look similar. Black Pike 150mm Solo Air/160mm Dual air up front. Flow EX's with HD hubs. XT 1x10 with XT trail brakes. Thomson or KS LEV seatpost with a butchered XT front shifter. Cockpit to be determined and tires most likely a Magic Mary front and a Hans Dampf in the back, both in SG casing. Now lets hold thumbs, they might have one green XL coming in on the 20th of December and that will be mine http://www.production-privee.com/Files/42527/Img/20/SHANGREENACCEUIL980.jpg Edited December 9, 2014 by camelman Steven Knoetze (sk27), Spoke101, BenReaper and 2 others 5

Did I miss something? The QR rear also put me off slightly, although it's not that big a deal
