    Well, I think that's it for me...

    I believe this thread is proving the OPs point... if only he resurrected himself to see what he's forsaken upon us.

    The HBO handles the last 20% of the travel, the ABO maybe the last <5%. HBO is going to be way more effective at handling end of travel and it's way more tunable through oil movement in the HBO circuit. ABO is a piece of rubber the piston hits, more or less that can be moved up and down. The...

    Far from an expert so I'll stay away from the technical stuff. From the hoarse's mouth. https://www.schwalbetires.com/mtb-families#:~:text=and%20personal%20bests-,GRAVITY%20PRO,-Developed%20since%202021 Long story short, they made the Gravity sidewalls more supportive. They also updated the...

    Are you referring to an Albert with the updated Gravity casing available as of about a month ago?

    For sure other components, especially those adding compliance, can hurt handling. Try the updated Gravity casings, they're a substantial improvement.

    I experienced that a little more with my 181 than previous frames but it's nothing new. I would usually chalk that up to the end of travel progressive nature of air shocks and HBO, but without knowing all of your suspension variables it's a general statement. Try removing any tokens, mine had 1...

    It's not unlike any other UDH frame.

    You're not, dumb is the other guys starting internet fights, ha. You have to mount (buy, I don't think they're supplied) the UDH first, the axle will thread into that OR if you're using SRAM Transmission derailleur it'll thread into that.

    All due respect, you're trolling too with no evidence of the things you demand from others. You started it now be a grown up and give it a rest so we can get back on topic.

    To each their own but that's bad advice. The correct way is a compression retune on any type of shock when changing leverage ratios. Your example for a quick fix for air is the same as a spring weight change on a coil shock. It's using additional support, creating a harsh ride to make up for...

    For me, the weight difference is negligible and it's in an acceptable place, low and central on the bike, if you notice a difference at all. I ran an air for about 8 months and a coil for the last 2, it comes down to the type of bike feel you like and how you ride. Coil still has some good pop...

    Magic Mary or Albert Gravity radial for rear of 25kg Kenevo?

    Neither. Tacky Chan is the right answer.

    You do not have to pick a color and match everything on your bike... specifically looking at you Fox orange people.

    Enter the serial numbers into the TrailHead app to confirm. My Vivid had 1, B1 Zebs usually have none bc of the ABO.

    Troydon has recommended running no HBO because of the progression at the end of the travel, you sound like you're on the right path. If you ever have the desire look at Fluid Focus for a custom tune. It's well worth the cost, they're magicians. Or try coil someday. It's really transforms the...

    A little more initial pressure pushing through the HBO, I'm sure there's air still in the negative chamber... too many factors just letting air out. If the concern is rear suspension binding take the shock off to test it. If concern is with the shock let some air out so you know you can fully...
