Necessary for the Creak-O-Matic axle system.Sweet. Why no quick disconnect on the axle? I actually quite like it on my current 36.
bu...bu...but.... moar shimz!Necessary for the Creak-O-Matic axle system.
I suppose the 36 should be laid out to handle a decent size tire, but i cannot find any specific info anywhere.Will it run 27.5 with 2.4 tires with enough realistic clearance?
Do you have a link to specs?
it's not up on the Fox site yet, from what I can tell....
One bit of info i was able to find was the fact that the 32s and 34s will have a "on the fly CTD" featuring a trail mode with 7 different settings. The entire range will get new seals that are supposed to siginificantly lower stiction.curious to see if this is a Pike-crusher, or just a 'too little, too late' with just CTD tech.
or maybe it's scaled down version of the damper from the 40 rad.curious to see if this is a Pike-crusher, or just a 'too little, too late' with just CTD tech.
Marketing Google Translation: means it's a frickin' shock absorber.Who cares about tire clearance, it has orange decals and "a redesigned air spring system that equalizes rider weight for increased traction". WTH does that mean?

but your buddies might get pissed at you while you dig around in your camelbak for your multi tool and have to loosen, then tighten 5 bolts... probably with two different allen key sizes, all while they are being eaten alive by mosquitoes while watching the seconds tick away on their strava KOM times.Life is not an XC race.
Not to mention the chances of losing said parts whilst horse-packing your bike to the trailhead.but your buddies might get pissed at you while you dig around in your camelbak for your multi tool and have to loosen, then tighten 5 bolts... probably with two different allen key sizes, all while they are being eaten alive by mosquitoes while watching the seconds tick away on their strava KOM times.
They're basically doing their own version of RockShox's SoloAir. An air negative spring which equalizes pressures on topout.

Em no, actually the Float 40 had the same air spring as the 2014 and 2013 single crowns. This new spring is basically a Solo Air system.Not to mention the chances of losing said parts whilst horse-packing your bike to the trailhead.
I believe this fork has a version of the Float 40 air spring, which is cool.
Any # of CTD levels; not cool.
Weren't you the guy who said the RS-1 wasn't a USD fork?Em no, actually the Float 40 had the same air spring as the 2014 and 2013 single crowns. This new spring is basically a Solo Air system.
i am fairly certain the 36 still doesnt come with ctd.. i dunno about you guys, but i am excited about those new lower stickers (seeing as how my 40 is now sticker-less)curious to see if this is a Pike-crusher, or just a 'too little, too late' with just CTD tech.
and pike is from rack shacks, noob.ENDUROOOOOOOO is Pike.
noob.
ftfy.the obvious answer is to have an enduro-fork-off - to the death
The good news is, looks like it's only the 15mm gets the Moar Shimz Creak-O-Matic system, if you just run it with the 20mm it's exactly like the axle on the 40 (and old 36) which works totally fine.Necessary for the Creak-O-Matic axle system.
They are also taking a lot of friction reducing measures like the 20wt lube, new seal head, etc. If it is much smoother than before a little more compression damping could be called for.They increased the amount of low speed compression damping. So its less plush. So it beats the crap out of you on long rides. Just like the Park 180!
All that feed back from riders complaining that the fork moves too much. Cant have that.
No problem, they'll be plenty slow when thieves steal their bikes or wheels because all they had to do was flip the QR. That's one reason I loved bolt-through axles that required tools, easier to secure.but your buddies might get pissed at you while you dig around in your camelbak for your multi tool and have to loosen, then tighten 5 bolts... probably with two different allen key sizes, all while they are being eaten alive by mosquitoes while watching the seconds tick away on their strava KOM times.
