Interesting, I find it hard to think that way but Im sure it can be true and vice versa. So would you for example have mid-stroke harshness and for the top riders would you set your race sag on the rear and does oil heights and oil weights along with internals make a difference?

Theres no future as a spy photographer for you dude i think sean may know something about that. absalon didnt use x.x this weekend as far as i know. he had the x.x brakes but stuck with x.0 rear mech and grip shifts. the seven/kenda team had x.x on the drivetrain.
