trek 9000 with coil shock,i know they have a bit of feedback and slightly flexy rear end .........but,smooths the bumps nearly as good as my 08 goose teocali.

dare ya

ditto longun, but because Mint Sauce had one so they must be good.


Rocky Mountain and Kona designs must have worked as they where around and similar designs are still around now.

I guess (iirc as I have little to do with bouncing rear ends) it depends on the style of suspension you want, constantly active, activated by hard bumps only or something in between ...

Mint Sauce only tested one, he never owned it

Spec' FSRs are good, funny-length shocks can be awkward though.
