Evening all

This month im servicing my forks, and whilst im at it, im upgrading the stock rebound damper for a dual flow from the Rev

I was going to buy from Loco, but have found a place on eBay that also sells them (half the price)

However, they sell both the Blackbox and the Standard version. TBH i thought there was only one kind. From looking on Bikepedia, they look pretty much identical, apart from the seal head, which appears to be anodised alloy on the Blackbox and what im assuming is not anodised alloy on the standard

can anyone confirm whether this is the case, or whether there is some other difference between them ?

    neither exist in the parts catalogues on SRAM

    that said, the only catalogues available are for 2013 and 2012...

    Loco came back to me and said that the Blackbox damper and the more recent Dual Flow damper are one in the same
