    How much shock do you really need?

    Of course it is, because on section 5-10km of a ride you're on XC flat/hills, then 2 mins later you're into a root garden, then rocks, then jumps, then Fireroads... you can't ever expect a suspension to be 100% perfect on everything.

    Is Orbea customer service horrible

    Right? And? That means Orbea is bad? You seem to have walked into the room having a question but already knowing the answer. I'm struggling to get where you're going with this other than not listening to people who are telling you that you're wrong

    Some people will tell you they need a £1000+ shock, some will tell you the opposite as per your story, the answer is, whatever you're happy with.

    Crank arm cap seized

    So removing the flowery bit allows the user to remove the main center part and replace ? Without that you can't remove the main tensioning bolt ?

    Crank arm cap seized

    I'm confused as to why he wants to remove the cap anyway. Like with Raceface etc, i don't know what the secondary one is for, it doesn't seem to have an actual purpose as you only use the 8mm allen on these usually anyway. But i admit, i've never used Hope cranks.
