we've been using one on a Mono9 for a little over a month now. I have to say I am unimpressed with the finish and the fork in general. It's not meant for Clydes and it just sags. It seems the fork was designed for super lightweights, it doesn't even work well for a 200lb guy. The response is just bad. Rebound isn't quick even when adjusted to be. The damping sucks. It seems to leak air slowly. The air valve cap wasn't even machined properly to fit well.
I have installed a RST M-29 on my new hardtail build and out of the box it just feels better, looks better, has better rebound and damping. Maybe the first batch of Spinners wasn't up to par, I don't know. I would recommend the RST M-29 over this hunk any day...
This is coming from a guy fairly new to suspension forks and who hasn't ridden a Reba or Fox or Manitou
