I absolutely love it. On the climbs, doesn't feel like 5" inches at all, but on the DH, you know they are there. Absolutely satisfied with my purchase.

I just hope you don't break a hanger, from what I seen, it looks like a lot of work to replace a hanger. I did try one out, I do love how it rides, the hanger placement is the only thing holding me back from getting a remedy.
