I received the new Öhlins TTX22M.2 fully built by Jtech Suspension in Shrewsbury. They tuned it for my weight and riding style / requirements. I was dubious on the mounting hardware as there has been conflicting information about the lower shock bolt - M6 vs M8. Specialized documentation states...

I left the dropper on so I could use it to hold the frame to the...
My problem isn’t the cost (I think they are reasonable). It’s their durability. I’ve never had a problem before, however the combo of a new Hope Fortus wheelset, Cushcore pro inserts and Maxxis DD spec tyres meant I had to use a plastic tyre lever. No matter how careful I was I kept making...
