Sorry another 'what to buy post' ๐Ÿ˜ณ

trying to choose between Floats/Vans and the FL/FLC options for both.

Going to be fitted to a Dialled PA for 'all mountain lite' in the SE, any user feedback or opinions welcome as I've never used Fox before....

I like the vans for simplicity but the floats are good forks too and not having to change springs to for rider preference can be easier.

The RLC is the way to go if you like fettling, and the low speed compression can help with fork dive, even though the new FIT forks tend to be better at negating dive (at the expense of small bump compliance). Depends upon budget really as which to go for ๐Ÿ™‚

Always is to some extent ๐Ÿ˜•

Thing is this is my first build for ages so my bike budget is kind of OK and that's making it harder for me to choose as I'm usually more limited by price...

You mean RL and RLC?

I've got Vanilla Rs and never missed any extra knobs to fiddle with!
But I have read good reports about the new RLC "FIT" damper, so thats probably worth investigating.

Yes, acronym overload ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Almost wish I was back on a low budget build, at least then your mistakes are cheaper ๐Ÿ˜•
