[quTo swap shocks, that implies you’ve bought a spare shock in the right stroke and eye to eye. So why not just buy one with the right mount too if you’re going to that effort?
If you’re swapping them off other bikes, with the same eye to eye and stroke, then you’ve got too many bikes!
I’ve had issues with the Cane Creek shock on my Enduro, and Specialized have been totally amazing, turning around a new shock (of my choosing) in a couple of days. So I’m not really sure where the animosity for Specialized aligns to reality.
I’ve a couple of mates with Cannondales, which have had issues, and they seem like a bit of a pain to deal with in comparison. As do YT and Canyon.ote]
how do you find it climbing and is it twitchy on fast desents ?
