I finally have a Float 100RLC on my Jekyll. I have been missing out!! It is the single best upgrade I have done to the bike. The headshok worked fine (and was lighter) but 70mm was too short. I used the new Cane Creek Double XC Short headset which converts the 1.5 inch headtube to a 1 1/8 steerer.

Is it me, or is the front tire on your bike on backwards? Looks like it to me.

Yeah, I have the same problem with my Jekyll. The front and rear doesn't feel balanced. Not enough travel in the front.. too easy to bottom out I guess.

How do the Fox Vanilla series compare with say the Psylos or Blacks? I'm in the market for a new fork.
