Thanks for the rim recommendations.

I've got a couple of questions-

Why are fork tuning guides about 20psi higher for suggested sag? This Marzocchi's guide suggests 67psi where in reality it's about 50psi for me with 20% sag, and it was the same with the Rockshox.

Why are Hope E4s such a pain in the arse to get lined up without any rub?

Are the E4s new? If so the pistons tend to be sticky and don't retract properly. I tend to avoid all the time consuming piston training Hope talk about and just ride them for a while. During use everything settles down and the pistons retract consistently

I've taken it for a spin and all is fine on that caliper, but the other one is touching on one side now. They're not new, maybe they just need disassembling and cleaning.
