As the title says, I'm currently try to get in touch with both Extreme Shocks and Stendec about buying a Storia Lok to make my Nomad rideable (that's how it works right? spend enough cash and you can make anything rideable?). Neither company is responding to emails, and the only sites I can find don't sell the Lok version.

Was up in Whistler this past weekend, some dude on a Patrol had one mounted and let me take a spin. It sounded like he had bought it, but naive me assumed it would be a straightforward process. Anyone had any luck with these guys?

We were thinking about putting those shocks on our bikes. They were super responsive. Their english sucked tho. At what email address have You tried to get in touch with them?

Tried both the Extreme Shocks info@extremeshocks.com and the Stendec Works info@stendecworks.com. Any chance you have another email that they respond to?

I already tried a DBCoil on it. Felt pretty similar to the DBAir I have on it right now, other than the linear spring, which was nice. Still not the damper response I'm looking for- no matter how much I tweak things I can't get the right combo of settings to balance plowability with a crisp response. Like I can't get the shock to respond fast enough in a controlled manner to keep it generally sitting high in it's travel while still sucking up the chunder- it either pogo sticks, or packs up (or both, which shouldn't be possible but happens), and I can't find the happy medium. I've heard that the Storia is about the fastest controllable response you can get on a shock, which seems good for what I want.

Did you follow the flied guide to set up the shock ?

I was able to tweak the factory settings on my DB Inline to achieve pretty much what you're talking about.

Yeah, this is the third or fourth CCDB product I've owned, I've had plenty of experience messing with them. It's just I kind of want to eat my cake and have it too with this setup, and that may be beyond the design intention of the DB damper. Not knocking the shock, it's great for what it's meant to do.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Just saw this, didn't know it only has 40psi...that is crazy, probably lower ifp pressure than in any shock, the bottom out adjuster looks also pretty nice.
