hi guys, just as an update, due to some restrictions of what brands im actually allowed through the bike shop handling the insurance claim, i have settled on my first choice of the 2013 Banshee Rune V2 with CCDBA. managed to get one 20% cheaper thatn RRP and delivered 2 months before they are actually available in the UK.. its all about who you know these days =].

thanks for all the input everyone had put in. pics are to follow in the ext couple of weeks, keep your eyes peeled.

specifically anything with a progressive curve you will struggle to get full travel from with the CCDBA.

Doesn't that mean about 99% of all bikes currently on the market?

In fact, the only bikes I've heard of having a regressive ratio is the Orange Five.

I also think that if the mechanical leverage has been designed around an air can, then to compensate for the inherently progressive nature of the air apring, the mechanical leverage should be more progressive, thus fitting a coil to a bike with an air spring in mind would need more HSC to compensate for the linearity of a coil.

Have I got this right or am I way off?
