Because I bought one quite some time ago from rtech.fi.So that would be an inverted RC2 damper that would fit my old 36? if yes, awesome!!!
How come do you have this in your e-mails, by the way?
Good luck hunting one btw

Serious question:
Would a 2022 Ohlins RFX36 M.2 Trail Air (you know, the one on sale) be better than a 2019 Fox 36 Grip2?
"Better" meaning: softer at the beginning stroke and a lovely ramp up.
I'm coming back from another injury and need something soft. My hands/strength just suck. Somehow I keep crashing and ruining my body, especially my hands/shoulders/elbows even neck. Part of me says to just suck it up, do PT, get stronger, hang with the 36. The other part is like: is there is something better for my sorry ass...err....hands?
I have had PUSH set up the 36 to be softer, and it worked for a bit. I've read up on the difference in spring/damping engineering theories between Fox and Ohlins. Just not sure...Anyone out there have experience?
I bought my RXF 36m2 Air from Suspensionwerx in September 2021. Since they were going to open the fork up to inspect before handing it over, I asked them to let me know what the tune was, and they confirmed C40 and R30, consistent with the comment to the NSMB review.Also what's the stock tune being shipped? Found a comment somewhere that said they dropped from the C50 to C40 somewhere after launch. So early users and the media were riding a C50 tune but with too much feedback on it being firm they dropped a tune.
@shirk007 @pizza diavola and @bullcrew I am not familiar with the floating axle and was wondering... the distance between both dropouts is 110.6mm, and a bit wider just past the small "bump" so my DT 350 is quite loose in there without tightening the axle. Like 2-3mm play (it's obviously a boost 110mm hub which measures 110.0mm).
You need to press it in, it's normal to have resistance otherwise the DU bushings would be due for replacement. Is that what you're talking about? If you've already swapped DU bushings I'm probably not learning you anything useful. I use plastic DU bushings and the hardware is usually a bit easier to slide through. I have never measured them though so I can't help with that, sorry.
Did you originally have a different shock on the bike with different bushings?
It's possible they put the wrong ones on, they have a variety on hand.

I'd open the chat thing on their website, during business hours, and ask them about it. They are usually pretty quick to respond.
I ordered plastic bushings from them once, but they ended up shipping DU bushings. When I contacted them about it they shipped out the proper ones with next day delivery.
I still have those DU bushings, I could mail them to if you want to compare or if you can make use of them.
I have a Podium with a CCDB as well, but I have never taken that pin out before. I have always left it for the suspension servicer to deal with. Anyway, out of curiosity I just took the spacers off and tried to move the pin by hand but it did not budge. I would have to use a press to get it out.The pin the micrometer is on slides through the bushing and loose spacers shown go on the end to space it out where it goes into the linkage. The fit is normally a snug slide by hand.

I replace the pivot bearings at the BB on my Podium last month for the first time. That was a bit of an ordeal! Really had to hammer on the pin and bearings to get them out. Then I bent the bearing press screw trying to press the new bearings in and had to go back to the hammer again. All good in the end.Never had to touch to Podium
I still have the 26" wheel out front in a Marz 380 fork. I suppose I could put a 27.5 in there like you. I haven't ridden this bike much since the before times. Haven't been to a bike park or shuttled since covid but hope to change that this year.You have a 27.5 on the front of yours too?
taking bets: $2500 MSRPlooks like PUSH is showing their fork (finally) at Sea Otter. Inverted, possibly carbon crown (?) looks long travel.

From Vital's IG story it doesn't seem particularly buttery...Drool worthy. Will be interesting to see what they did with the damper, do they used a poppet like their HC97 or shim stacks.

So far it looks like they Intend to. Sends Shivers up my spine.Do we TRUST them to deliver?

Say what you will, but Darren/PUSH typically don't under deliver on the performance front. This thing has been in development for years. this thing will be sick.
agree 100%. they wouldn't put their name on it and bring it to market if they weren't completely satisfied with it.Say what you will, but Darren/PUSH typically don't under deliver on the performance front. This thing has been in development for years. this thing will be sick.
HC97: under-delivers on the performance front!first thing I thought when I saw this Bombshell, is that I might be an Emerald in the rough.
(sorry, just wanted to feel included)
