I have a specialized rockhopper comp.
I climb alot with it.
the downside about climbing is the descent(no pun intended).
frequently on the way down my rockshox pilot will bottom out.
ive tried adjusting it but cant find a sucessful way.
anyone have an idea for a fork for climbing/downhill.
i was thinking about the cannondale lefty becuase of the quick thumb adjustment.
is there a generic thumb adjuster i could put on any fork or is that exclusive to the lefty.
any other suggestions i didnt get the lefty becuase its quite expensive thanks.
hope its better

i think on the mx comp its on the fork, although you may be able to buy the adjuster to go on your bars, and yes, your right about making it more stiff and softer.

PS - I have a Rockhopper Comp with this fork as well. It is a good combo.
