I’m currently in the happy place of demoing everything under the sun ahead of buying my first new bike in 7 years ( 😯 )! Several of the bikes I’m considering have the option of a RaceFace Aeffect Dropper but I’m struggling to find any details beyond the basic launch PR from RaceFace.
I know conventional wisdom seems to be that a Reverb is the way to go but the continual warranty horror stories on here, anecdotal evidence from my LBS (“we get about 2-3 in a week for warranty”) and the recent post from Bird reminding people that they need to be serviced every 50 hours of riding to preserve the warranty has put me off (I like the fact that mountain biking is one of the few things in life these days that doesn’t require a monthly subscription :P).
I’d love to hear good/bad/indifferent reviews on the Aeffect. I’d also love to be told I’m worried about nothing with the Reverb (which to be fair has been fitted to almost every demo I’ve ridden and been fantastic).
