I have a tallboy LT coming and need a shock. I was originally going to go for a light, simple Float or something, but I hear these heftier shocks are worth it
I'm 180 pounds, live in a rocky, mountainous area, and in the summer I'll do rides of 20-50 miles at altitudes around 9000'. You get tired, so efficiency, reliability, weight and comfort are all important. I usually don't bother with pro pedal on my old bike.
I hear the CC is sweet, but also that it's heavy (509 g!) and requires a lot if lever flicking to pedal well. The RS is 325 grams and about $55 cheaper
Do they feel and pedal that different? Is the RS Monarch plus really that much better than the entry level $290 /225g monarch?
Any other suggestion, or does anybody know a good deal?
