for a while i ran a Roco WC on my DH bike. its good but not great. honestly i have a monarch on my LTc and am loving it. its pretty good on just about everything. i know the reviews on here are not soo great on that shock but i don't know how other people are getting theirs to fail. I'm a big guy at 260lbs w/o gear and i like to push myself pretty hard. also being on the east coast i see alot of chatter bumps and square edges and this shoch has not let anyone i know down over here
