Twenty foot is a pretty hefty drop though!I know Cane Creek shocks have never worked with Specialized bikes. The DB Coil is prone to snapping shafts because of the bending loads on them. Seen it happen on the landing of a 20' drop.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -

Could you explain this for me RM? I was hoping to work towards a DB for the Pitch at some point in the distant future, but if there's some key underlying issue, I may have to look elsewhere...Current fleet

the yolk puts too much torsional stress on the airshaft0 -
I don't think the pitch is made with a yolk however... It's a pretty standard rocker link, isn't it?0

That's alright then, yeah the Pitch is standard rocker design, so theoretically I should be safe from yoke induced torsion. Much obliged chaps!Current fleet

yip, bog standard looking horst link like mine0 -
Its bending, not torsional.I know Cane Creek shocks have never worked with Specialized bikes.

If you were to take the view its customised to each user and, has long service intervals and with the product support and updates service could potentially be the last shock you would need to buy across different bikes for a fair while, it's probably not a bad investment in the long run once you get over the initial outlay.11-6 would be lovely, but is it worth nearly double every other shock on the market?
Let alone on a Bronson?
II considered picking one up in Canada, but it was still £550, which is nearly double what my FX2 cost. Which also, is a really, really good shock. I'd go so far as to say the best shock i've ridden, including most high end stuff on my DH bike.Bird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0
