I abused the rims immediately after purchase - went straight to Tubeless and rode a ton of rock gardens. No issues.
I decided recently to try inserts from all the hype I read recently and chose Vitorria Airliners...I have to say I love it. Ran them on the Rovals and liked it so much I went with...
Ive had both - went Alum on the 2019 Levo and have no regrets. I also went Alum for same reasons you are debating...cost, choosing own components, etc. For me, when comparing Alum vs Carbon on this type of bike...rides the same. Im not pro enough to notice a huge difference. I am riding Vitorria...
Ah crap, I got a kids birthday to go to tomorrow. Weather is sooo nice. I rode a Lake Chabot ride yeaterday exploring and testing some new stuff I slapped on the ride.
Have fun, weather is getting good so more rides!!!
Is Relive the app you used for that? Thats pretty cool. Ill have to check it out. I use Strava...but that looks pretty dang cool how you can share that. Strava prob can do it too...just never spent the time to look at details like that. HA.
Hopefully your bike is good boss...get'er back up and...
I went with the following based on CC recommendations. Disclaimer, Im running a heavy coil as I ride at around 195lbs with gear. You featherweights will want to do some research on coil needed.

Currently Im running a 2.25x600lb...
Thank you sir! Got the newer one as it was just received...took like 90 days to get it. Im running the VALT Spring at 600lbs. First real test will be this week I hope.
Thanks for the quick response. Thought I was going to have to find an alternative. Been away from the forums for a while and...
Was this issue only for the DB Coil IL?
Im running the DB Coil CS and wondering if that issue you brought up is the same for my model.
When I talked to CC, they definitely said not the IL, but the CS was ok. That was waay back in November. I literally just received my shock and coil 2 weeks...
Im still waiting on my CC DB CS from Worldwide Cyclery. They ordered it in November and I think just got it on Friday.
The inline version does not work from my talks with CC which is my I went this route.
Just rode up Diablo this past weekend before the rain on Sunday...Meridian Ridge or something of that sort. Wow, what a nice ride that is. Super short, super steep...but it reminds me just how lucky we are to live in such a trail rich area. Steepest grade towards the top - 30%...didnt even think...
When I opened mine stock it was 1 Gnar Token and 1 Regular - Which is equiv to 2.5 Tokens. I have the base model Levo and just waiting for my shock. in the meantime, I actually added a token...was bottoming out on big drops.
