Right, I have a 2007 Fox Float 36 RC2 on my Giant Reign X. It's in very good nick, as the guy who had them before me kept em well looked after, and also they had new lower legs under warranty not long ago. But I've been slightly underwhelmed by their performance so far to tell the truth. They're great when you're riding stuff that doesn't use more than half the travel, but they quickly come up against it when they're deeper into their travel. Basically, even if I let all the air out, and wind the damping all the way out, I can't get the last 20-30mm of travel at all!
I have been considering swapping for some Lyriks, as I've seen a few good condition 2nd hand forks out there that would not leave me out of pocket by much if I sold my 36's. How do Lyriks compare in the damping stakes? Are they easier to tune? I understand I can probably get my 36's set up for me if I sent them to Mojo, but they don't need a service yet, and I'm kinda loathe to spend £100 or so when they only came back from Mojo having had new lower legs about 10 or 12 rides ago.
What do those of you with experience of both reckon? I know the 2009 on 36's have much better damping, but I'm specifically after opinions of my 2007 36 RC2's Vs Lyriks.
