dis is all ize got
xmas morning minus a week so I could get it built up for
Arizona. Not at all sure about the 5th coil. Rode it a few
times and then swapped it for a tried n true vanilla rc. I'll
play with the 5th when I get back but I have had less than
good luck with Progressive mobike shocks (though VERY
GOOD customer service on same, but I'd rather not have
to use customer service....)
I tried an 03 Manitou firefly on it and REALLY liked the fork
but it is too long for my riding style, several times the wheel
was in the air instead of guiding the front of the bike up the
chute I was trying to climb. Prob'ly not more than 15mm longer
than the vanilla rlc but enough to go from perfect to not so.
The firelfly and the 5th are on the gemini now, officially my
"big bike"
I wish the rlc was as plush and quiet as the firefly, but that
would mean we didn't have to keep trying new stuff in search
of the perfect ride.
I feel like a dweeb having sold an official 4-bar for an old fashion
single pivot, but I really like 'em for my (old and slow) riding style.
pfffft
