Sorry for not responding. I didn't think I was qualified to give a judgement on them since I'm never felt like I was riding them to the limit. I don't want to be one of those "this is the most amazing ever" guys.

Anyway, I was having problems with my riding. It was either my style or the bike (5+ crashes). So this last Friday, the lap record holder (Fogle) at Chuckwalla took my bike out for a test ride.

Bads news: Problems isn't with the bike, it my riding style.

Good news: He said the bike's suspension was amazing. So much so, he said he is going to buy a set.

Alex:
Can you change:
"Put on a new copper washer, a little blue loctite, and torque to 20nm"
to
"Put on a new copper washer and torque to 20nm. DO NOT PUT ANY LOCTITE on the threads."

and
Add "but general 5wt fork oil works as well." to the end of
"Also, the recommend oil is Ohlins Fork Oil 2.5W #01312."
