Ya I’ve had a similar experience..
used to race way back in the day on a KHS pro montane and with rigid forks for a while.. so light too!
But I was bitten by the FS thing and only a year ago I purchased a stumpy s works carbon and man are HT fun 🙂
Raced all this season on it instead of the FS!
Would never get rid of the FS but moving down south I was struggling to justify using it as often…
