I have a tftuned monarch on my new bike. What metric shock is the best in your experience?
Monarch was only sold in traditional imperial sizes. You've got a Giant Reign, haven't you? I'm guessing existing metric shock is a RockShox Deluxe RT, trunnion mount.
I don't like so many adjustments that you get lost. I greatly dislike the concept and execution of pedal platforms over a proper adjustable LSC. I like to service my own kit when possible. I like piggyback designs because of long race stages. Rockshox bullied the industry into metric but came up with hard and fast improvements like increased bushing overlap. Fox didn't do the hard yards to design to the metric spec and just spacered their existing designs as far as I can tell.
I have been running a Super Deluxe DebonAir RCT. The RCT spec was OEM only last year but I think the Super Deluxe Ultimate is now the aftermarket model with the same features. R=Rebound, C=Compression adjust, T=Threshold.
I'm sure experts could quite capably critique every product from RockShox and explain that other options are superior. But... I can get rebound on the correct threshold setting and then dial in the chassis control on the LSC. The proof is hitting 60kmh rough descents on flat pedals and not getting bounced around.
From the thread title, I expected the return of Friday Kylie.
Is disappoint
I thought Riley Piranello was the new Kylie Friday?
RS do seem to have solid shocks, forks these days however Öhlins (nothing but ze best for Jedi)
