Back to mountain biking
I'm toying with the idea of getting one of those for my bike. Albeit probably not with the Ti spring.
The advice that I've received was Cotic - no boi, air spring J Tech - not the Marzocchi, the Cane Creek.
So I'm still a bit none-the-wiser
The Contour has a pretty progressive linkage. I'm guessing your gen of FlareMAX doesn't.
I didn't really have any complaints with my McLeod tbh, the damping was great, I just wanted ultrasensitive coil bling.
