Took the Dorado I bought from Shyrmp and Orven out today for a few runs up on campus. Here's a fun picture of it mounted to my SGS.

Is my cable routing weird?
Anyway, it's a completely different ride than my Boxxer Race. Adjustability (you know, rebound) is awesome. It feels heavier. I'm pretty sure it's not, but all the internals are up near the top, perhaps that has something to do with it? It also feels a wee bit harsher than the Boxxer. Would screwing with the compression adjuster help, or should I swap some springs in the stack? Overall, I really like the feel, especially over fast hits, it keeps the wheel going straight and narrow, unlike the Boxxer. Everyone told me not to get it because it would steepen my headangle, but I really don't notice it. I think I made the right purchase over a 888...thanks Shrymp/Orven!
