Go for the hookless light bike rim IMHO.

BloggingFit

+1 for hookless option.

How do you think the DBinline compares to the DBair CS, which I've seen on a 134? Or what about the Fox Float X?

A Push tuned Float will give the DBs a good run for their money.

Makes sense spending more on a Float than a Inline is :roll:

the inline is pretty similar to the DBairCS. The CS on the inline is firmer than the DBair CS and the DBair obviously has more oil in it. the inline is also lighter

You need a special Cane Creek shocks for the Process.

He doesn't describe it as anything unusual though does mention that the switch needs modification.

Requires 15mm open end-eye on the air can end. Shock must be ordered specifically for Process 134; stock shocks cannot be modified.

Fantastic. Thanks for that.

poah

won't be an issue if you order from TFtuned

The DBinline can lack rebound damping for some people on some bikes but TF should be able to sort it if you buy from them. I'm still planning on getting one for my Mega TR but after sitting on a Process 134 again in the shop yesterday I'm really tempted.

The woman clearly doesn't love you enough. This is now clear.

has anybody had any issues with dropping chains with a 1x10 setup on the 134dl when in gears 8/9/10? I'm thinking i might need spacers in the press fit bb drive side to reduce cross chaining when at the bottom of the cassette.

The Rookie

The 134dl is a double ring as stock, so what have you done to convert it? If using the double cranks then the chainline will obviously be wrong in either high or low gears depending where you mounted it.
