Anyone running this set up and care to comment??
Yep, it's great. What do you want to know?
Did you stick with 50mm stroke?
still as engaging as before as in needs to be ridden not a plough machine ??
Still get a bottle in ok??

Yep 50mm I looked into 57mm but a lot of people on mtbr found the frame would start to collide with 57.
You can set it up however you like, I like the 5010 to be really playful so have it set as follows for my 72kg rider weight:
30% sag
190-195psi in bladder (170-200psi range so this is fairly high, with the psi maxxed the rebound was too fast when going deep into the stroke)
0 negative bands (holds it up in its travel, using 1 makes it more plush)
2 positive bands (helps with end stroke ramp up).
You can of course run less sag to get the same playful feel but I found keeping it at 30% and experimenting with tyre pressure gets the small bumps feeling good, it's never going to be a plough bike though as we only have 130mm travel 🙂
I can't get a bottle in but that's because of my bottle mounts (fabric cageless mounts don't seem to work on the v2, they were fine on my v1 5010). But I don't see why you wouldn't be able to https://imgur.com/4z9RjNi
Thanks for that. Shock ordered
