This rear shock works far better than the SID rear that was on it. It feels as though I have more travel than before. This shock has been out for a while but still is worth it's price new. Mine came with the bike when I bought it. I works great on my frame. Don't waste your money buying a shock with a lockout. This thing rocks.

Strengths:
Reliable, user servicable, very limited sag or bob, air volume adjustability to change compression rate (progressive or linear), plush action over the entire stroke, great shock!
Weaknesses:
Damping controls not terribly consistent but I find the shock near perfect with no damping knobs nearly all the way out anyway.
Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
This is a follow-up review after several years of use. This remains my favorite shock of all time. I have rebuilt it with new air seals once in three years. When the seals did start going it was very gradual so there was no sudden failure; just subtle reminders of some pressure loss after a few rides let me know I needed to rebuild.
After dealing with poor performing Fox shox and Fox's virtually nonexistent customer service, this shock and the excellent support from Cane Creek have been a very welcome surprise. The Cane Creek shock changed the performance of my Titus Racer X from mediocre (with the original Fox Float R) to excellent.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I got this shock to retrofit my LTS because of its many adjustability, especially the compression damping which was absent in the stock rock shox. Changing the spring rate was also easier with air than turning the coil spring. I did not like the lack of small bump sensitivity but big bump response was good, except for the tendency to bottom out. I weigh 84kg and had to run the AD 12 at 210 PSI to reduce the bottoming out, this however caused the shock to lose 50 psi after 1 lap of technical XC. Tried changing the volume setting which required a special socket spanner head. I tried contacting the technical support since there was no information on their website. 2 emails in 3 weeks, I still haven't even got an acknowledgement reply. Com'on, you guys at Cane Creek can do better. I blew my total air cartridges and the EKOsport guys got a replacement sent down to singapore in a week. As it is I cannot run the bike to its full potential. Was seriously considering a Cloud 9 upgrade for my Giant NRS but having experienced Cane Creek INEXISTENT customer support, I would probably look elsewhere.
3 chillis for the shock performance till now. 1 chilli for the "spectacular" customer support I got.

Afetr riding the CC AD-12 for 3 months last Fall, I ended up sending my worn out Rock Shox SID XC back to RS for rebuilding. The Cane Creek simply stunk. I could not find a setting that would deliver the same plush ride with minimal bob that the stock RS shock had. I tried all three air volume settings, and every combination of air pressure and dampening adjustment possible to no avail. The shock either packs up, or is way to firm. For $175 to rebuild the RS SID, it is worth it if I get another 1 1/2 years from it. Maybe for the NRS it is not a good application, but some people say they are getting good results. I didn't.

Strengths:
Plush. Plush. Plush. Shocks do not get any plusher than this. And, the increased stroke (34mm) vs. my rock shox coil (25mm) makes a huge difference. I have not had ANY leakage AT ALL. I only have to adjust my pressure every 3 months or so, even though I am an aggressive rider. Changes in damping actually change the action of the shock. Amazing! Contrary to advertising, Rock shox and Fox don't actually have any adjustments. Probably not the lightest, but definitely light. I'm no weight geek, but those of you who are will appreciate the performance/weight ratio.

Strengths:
not much sag or bobbing, nice cush on larger hits, customer servicable is great but so far i haven't had to do much. it's great to be able to change the air volume (spring rate)
Weaknesses:
heavier than advertised (weights 16 g more than fox float R), i can't tell much difference with the damping settings but I haven't worried too much about it because I seem to like the ride regardless of the damping settings. Air damping generally provides less consistent damping characteristics than oil because it is a compressible gas, rather than an incompressible fluid (oil).
Similar Products Used:
Fox Float R, vanilla, and earlier models
Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
For me, this shock is far superior to the Fox Float R. It outperforms it in every situation. Plus, it has less sag and bob so I get about 30% greater effective travel from my bike than with a Fox Float. I changed it to the larger air volume setting and really like it that way and appreciate that I can change it myself. I also really appreciate the fact that the shock is fully customer servicable. I got tired of always having to send shocks to Fox, getting charged for their design flaws, and suffering down time as well.
A little heavier than advertised, but so am I!

Light, adjustable, fits my bike (barely). Climbs well/well damped at timme, but at the major expense of bump eating performance.
Weaknesses:
Unreliable. Leaks. Bottoms too easily
This replaced my sid XC on my GT idrive (the sid worked flawlessly for 16 months, then leaked) The first shock leaked air on the first ride and would not hold air for more than 1 hour. CC shipped out a new shock, which I had in 1 week. This shock worked OK, but would bottom WAY too easily. If I pumped up the pressure to prevent bottoming, then the sag was not right. If I cranked down the compression damping, then it was harsh. It began leaking air, meaning I had to top it off each ride and sometimes mid ride. Then one day, on a hop, It blew in 2 pieces (it was V shaped afterwards). CC sent me the third shock. this one worked better, but the damping continually changes during rides. the back end of the bike feels weak, and I dare not drop more than 2 feet because it will bottom. I put an old fox vanilla from my wife's older GT with a heavier spring on the rear, and this setup is way better.

I installed this shock on my xcr 4000 even before ratings were available for it. The shock was and still is awesome. When I installed it on the Jamis dakar all I had to do was change the spacers and it still going on even with no service done to it yet. No pressure loss, still looks and feels brand new. I was gonna buy a fox float with lockout for the 2002 gt xcr 1.0 frame gt sent me but after reading up on all the reviews on the ad-12 as well as all my rides on it I decided to get another one for this gt which I'm gonna build up with the best and lightest gear. This is a great shock and the value is worth the price. I'm 215 lbs and the shock takes it all without bottoming out. I run the psi upwards of 250 and it hasn't blown out. What more can you ask for? nothing, except winning the lottery, which has nothing to do with this review. Keep riding, keep hoping, keep living. J.V.

Overall, great ride! The thing is so much smoother than my fox that i have to dial it in stiffer to remove the bob that i notice when running my fox pressure in it, which is a good thing b/c it shows how smooth it is. Even though the CC customer service let me down they still got it to me a week after the order which isn't bad considering they had to build it.
But it was well worth it b/c it outperforms my fox 5 fold and holds air mucho better. Nice product Cane Creek. Too bad everyone thinks fox is superior

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Huge improvement over stock Fox Float. It seems to work best at lighter settings, about 100-105psi, with little compression damping (3 lines showing), and much rebound damping (1 line). This keeps the rear end tracking straight and predictable whilst going downhill. The old Float would just skitter from side to side like a hardtail. I find that if the AD-12 is pumped too stiff, this squirliness comes back, so the benefits of lower pressure are noticable. Conversely, it squishes a bit while standing up and cranking uphill(no lockout), but it's not a major concern.

OH! what I had been missing! this shock is so plush! You can dial it to right where you want. Just turn those knobs in little bits and dial it right in.

Bottom Line:
This shock is light! When the package arrived, I thought it was empty.
It feels pretty plush. I don't have the bobbing or lost of energy that people complain about with dual suspension bikes. I don't have much experience with other rear shocks.
After 3 or 4 rides, the shock had a funny noise and feel to it. Like it was bottoming out when it rebounded. When I got home and took it apart, I found that the piston came loose by itself. So I just tightened it back up. Then after a couple more rides, I had the same noise and feel. But I was half way in the trail this time so I just kept riding. Big mistake... the freaking shock blew up on me. I mean KAPOW! Looked down and my shock was broken in half. I didn't have the tools to put it together so I had to walk my bike all the way out. Was I pissed?! I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning the shock and lose riding time so I just put it all together again. I screwed the piston on really tight this time. It's working like new again. If it comes lose again, it's going back.
After all the bad experience I had, I would still totally recommend Cane Creek. I had some questions and I emailed them. I got an instant reply. What everyone said about their customer service is true. These guys rock. I mean I probably just had bad luck with the shock but Cane Creek is a great company. Not like some other companies that I have to deal with. I don't want to name names... ok I do, it's Spinergy :P
Because I had to walk 7 miles out of the trail, I would have given this shock an average rating. But because Cane Creek has such nice and friendly customer reps (I'm a sucker for nice people), I'll give them 4 burning chillies.

A terrific shock with good adjustability and bump absorption. I was worried about how long it would hold up to my abuse (I'm 230 lbs, at least some of it being muscle) and about a month ago it failed on me. Nothing catastrophic, it just got softer and softer till i was riding bottomed-out. I called up Cane Creek and they had a rebuild kit sent to me within 3 days. I took the shock apart only to find one of the o-ring groves was chipped (i believe it was the piston). I took a chance and reassembled it with the new o-rings, and lo-and-behold, it blew out again. This time i sent the shock back to Cane Creek and let them rebuild it. About two weeks later I got my shock back. Not a bad turnaround. So... we'll see how long the shock holds up this time. I realize I ride the shock near the highest pressure listed in the manual, I just hope the next service is more than 6 months from now. Five chilis for Cane Creek standing behind their product, plus the fact that this shock works so well. Minus one chili for the failure.
