i'd probably lean more towards ohlins, although the rfx 34 is pretty dated (and I haven't heard any rumors about it being updated), and i'm not sure if i want to add nearly a pound with the rfx 36.
that's kinda my concern is more for my weight rather than the terrain i'd be riding. although to be fair, the bike it would be "replacing" is 120/120 26", i've currently got a first gen mattoc pro on it dropped to 120mm. for the trails i ride on it, i don't really find myself wanting/needing more travel. so i realistically would probably get away with 120/130, since i'm most likely going to be jumping to 29'er.
you also ride in spd sandalsI was gonna say - I'm 180# and would avoid a Fox 34 like the plague. And not only for flex problems.
all joking aside, you have one bike, no? i'm not looking to build a "do it all" bike. i'm looking for something to do xc/trail/downcountry essentially. i have an enduro bike (megatrail w/ a 36). so for the times i need something burlier, i'm already covered.I was gonna say - I'm 180# and would avoid a Fox 34 like the plague. And not only for flex problems.
I ride *flat* pedals in my sandals, thank you very much.
I think you'll still be irritated with the flex... eventually. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you'll not even *notice* how flexy it is... Tubby.
no me gusta flat pedals.I ride *flat* pedals in my sandals, thank you very much.

I cannot speak to the performance of the '22 fork.
oh that reminds me, one thing i have a STRONG preference for is something that either has a dual positive air spring or can be modified with one
i have a 2013 32, 2015 36, and a 2008 40. the only one i truly hated was the 32, because it was a piece of spaghetti, but it is also QR.
The thru-axle 32's were also spaghetti. At least in 2010 they were.
This is my understanding as well.
cool, will be curious to hear your thoughts as you get more time on it. just curious - how much do you weigh?
I'll keep you posted but it's unlikely I'll be doing any riding in the next week or two with the current forecast. I weigh around 175-180 lbs usually.
I remember a long time ago the Fox logo used to be blue which is my favorite color and therefore way better. Not sure when it changed.
no worries, its gonna be at least a few months minimum before i make any decisions. figure i'd try to start getting some research done.
Pfft , clearly you've not said too much
Tamer local terrain we'd likely have Pistola's with a Pike. But my life loves her size 3, and me my size 4 Smash/Lyrik that we got in November before winter turned up.
I think you underestimate how tame some of my local trails are. Some of them I see dudes on cx bikes on certain sections. Lots of hardtails too.
No, I was agreeing with you
Derp. I'm also trying to avoid overlap with my mega trail.No, I was agreeing with you
