both the supplied medium black and soft blue springs (didn't try the firm yellow), I prefer the soft blue. I obtained
(3) 5mm spacers from the dealer to raise the future shock 15mm (which raised the stem and handlebars to my
liking). The front brakes squeal at times so I'm going to replace the rotors with SM-RT64 and hopefully quiet things
down. I replaced the generic bottom bracket with an SM-BBR60 for reliability. Installed Ergon GP5 grips/bar ends
provide more comfort and additional hand positions. Until I've posted 10 times, I can't include a photo. Wonderful bike!

Woot! I'm just waiting on mine -- apparently 'on the truck'.
Interesting about the FS spring, but I take it the bike does ship with all three springs? Interesting too about the rotors and b/b -- same plan here: Ice-tech rotors and Shimano b/b are going on before the bike leaves the shop. Already have a new set of Ergons (GP2 'shorties' in my case) ready to install.
