Does anyone have any experience with the RS Bar shock? I noticed 2 small cracks in my frame today, so I called the manufacturer and they offered me 2 options. I can get a complete new bike with a RS Deluxe rear shock, or I can get a new frame with RS Bar shock in the rear and build it with my parts. Any advantages to a rear air shock over a coil? I'm 6'2" and 240# and like to rip on the downhills, but don't do drops over 2'. Almost all of my riding is XC, fire roads and ST.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
