    Having acquired myself a bike potentially worthy of a coil shock I’m contemplating scratching a decade long itch. The thing is the ‘hustle & flow’ lever is much of a muchness tbh, I tend to find myself reaching down to the shock and set the 3 way adjuster to firm for any sort of winching up Hill. So think I wouldn’t miss the 130mm hustle option. I prefer the feel of the bike at 160mm and would get much more enjoyment out of something errrr… along the lines of a CCDB coil? Tuneability is a huge boon. What do I need to consider when swapping it out? Obviously the eye to eye distance and possibly stroke length? Anyone done this on a The new Jekyll?

    Custom tuned ohlins ttx from j-tech. Transformed my foxy.

    An mrp progressive spring is a great option for coils as well and negates the only real negative except weight , which you won’t notice.

    Thanks man, I’ll check this out. I had considered the PUSH shock but it made my wallet run for cover!
