Running a Manitou a mezzer pro at 160mm now. Improvement over Fox 36 in steering precision and buttery smooth over roots and such.

Adds up to 750-850, not 1500

Offset wrong way?

Yes. Dvo Jade x

My North Carolina setup.

Love the dvo JadeX. Lock out for fire road climbs if you prefer

Yes, cascade link. But you don’t need it.

Dvo JadeX has plenty of clearance for water bottle on large sl.

I’m 67 years old, and it’s nice and smooth.

I use a dvo Jade X with coil and cascade link and love it. Very plush

No, they were installed to make the shock longer to use a longer strike without bottoming the yoke on the seat tube. Not yet on the SL, but on similar shock mount bikes.

I’ve used offset bushings on my bikes for years and have never had one move from its original position.

Finally got my progressive spring, 575-650 for my DVO JadeX.

Also, you can use any spring. I had to get a fox 2.5 “ spring as dvo was out of stock

I’m running a 650# spring now. It is very plush with no bottom out. The jade x also has 3 positions so you can lock out for climbing. I also am running the cascade link.

My light ride is a dvo Topaz t3. My heavy ride is a dvo Jade x. Both are excellent . The jade coil is like riding a pillow.

I spent a week bashing down the Appalachian mountains in north Carolina with these wheels and tires, including a day at a bike park. Rocks, roots, stumps, drops and everything else you can think of. They worked very well.

My front wheel is 3lbs, 6oz, 1.61 kg. Rear wheel 4lbs, 12oz, 2.23 kg. Total 8lbs, 2 oz or 3.84 kg. The stock wheels are 12lb 12oz.
