It does feel really weird at first when you drop because I expect the seat to be there and brace my knee against it at times. The Fox ended up just being a hair to short for either of my frames so I'm going to have to send it back. The Fox is a 3 position and for me that seemed fine. Not sure I'd like the infinite since with the 3 you always know where it is going to be and don't have to hunt for that right spot somewhere in the middle. Amazon has the Fox DOSS for $165 half of it's normal price and it is suppose to be one of the more reliable ones. Just have to make sure it is long enough for your frame.

Alex rims aren't usually the lightest things around or any stock wheels for that matter. I'd probably go with wheels first. Something along the lines of Stan's Crest wheels are 1550 grams or so in 29er while most stock wheels are over 2000. I run a set of those I picked up used for $200 US on my rigid.
