<\/p>\nwhy have a high end, obscenely expensive mountain bike with totally\u00a0configurable components when you can’t tinker with it to make it even more configurable and as a result very likely also extremely hard to set up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
so i got this vivid air shock for my nomad. the vivid has a greater air volume which should result in a more linear spring rate, two independent rebound adjusters – interestingly named ‘beginning stroke’ and ‘end stroke’ instead of the usual ‘low speed’ and ‘high speed’, but i’m sure rock shox did this to keep our minds sharp – and a beautiful blue compression adjuster. with clickers! there is a six minute video on how to set if up and i had to watch it twice …<\/p>\n
i am so looking forward to the hours of fun fiddling with the knobs trying to ensure it does not kick me over the bars.<\/p>\n

and this is the monarch it replaced. one measly rebound adjuster and a lockout switch.<\/p>\n
