I’ve since changed to a smashpot coil in the Lyrik. I’ve only had two rides on it so far, so will reserve judgment until I’ve had a good few riding hours on it.

But my first impression was that it wasn’t actually a massive night and day difference in terms of off the top plush ness compared to the b1 air spring.

That's interesting - I've been considering coil forks recently, so that's food for thought

I’ll definitely report back.
On the first ride, I felt a bit unsettled but I think I just needed to slow the rebound damping. I then crashed hard which cut the ride short.

I think I just had such a romantic memory of coil forks back in the day.

The weather is set to be absolutely honking tomorrow at inners so I’ll soon find out how much more grip I get.

I’m coming at it from the perspective of “I had a C1, liked how it rode, now the fork is more responsive but the front end is lower, let’s move it back up again so I can lift the BB 10mm at the same time to save my pedals a bit”
