Sorry AW, forgot to say that I have a Soul also, so accepting that the old cone was fitted with XT v’s and original 70mm travel RC36’s, and the Soul has 130 forks and discs, and they are separated by 10 years, which makes a direct comparison irrelevant, I will ignore that and say that the cone gave more grins per buck than the Soul does. Totally subjective and based on rose-tinted recollection, but there you go.
