Good call on the bomber. I went with that option and it's night and day vs the stock air shock I had on mine before the upgrade. Sometimes less adjustments is actually better and this thing only has rebound adjustment which I found perfectly good enough for the riding I'm doing.

@toxicmale1744Ай бұрын
I also run a basic coil shock with slow speed compression and rebound damping. After running it for three months I decided to get another two for my other bikes. It's the kick I got from air shocks in certain situations which put me off. No such issues with coil. They're predictable and stable. I couldn't really jump before, now I'm sending them and doing drops without much concern. Continued medium to large hits in rapid succession do not destabilise the rear as before, where an air shock packed up and up until it kicked. That has now disappeared completely. I'm now considering the Rockshox Ultimate coil because it's got high and low speed compression damping, plus bottom out damping. You have a great, simple and reliable rear shock, so you'll soon appreciate what I mean.
