I'm in the USA, Southwestern PA! I really hope mine arrives soon!

How do you feel ?

I'm using it, great experience. The best with var spring
It's a 450/550 Var spring, my weight with clothes is 75 kg (nearly 166 lbs)What spring and how much do you weigh? CC recommended a 650lb spring for my 215lbs. Said even that might blow through travel too fast. Seems high.
Can you do a decent video review on it please
Also how did you come to obtain one? (in the UK)
Ok thanks.Hey, the e storia has a negative spring so when you’re preloading the spring this has to be taken into account. Bolt it in with the spring attached, then pull up on your saddle and push your rear wheel down. Then tighten your spring collar to the shock.
That’s possibly the 2.5mm you’re missing when the shock is off the bike due to the negative spring.
Thanks
How have y’all been making out with the EXT E-Astoria? I’m contemplating this or the Push 11.6 for my new Levo. Big purchase and I know both are fantastic shocks. The EXT in my opinion looks more factory. Anybody with experience tell me if they are loud and when you received them for your Levo, where they pretty dialed out of the box? Thank you for any help.
Thank you for that report. Did you run the X2 before? Did you have issues with your X2?Fantastic, the tune out of the box has left me wondering should I even try to improve it. Ive changed two clicks and I'm confident the shock is dialled. The HBO really provides an amazing level of support.
The shock is probably around 200g heavier and that's going to be spring dependant. Yes it makes a strange noise but when on the trail I can't hear it. I guess it might be something you would notice if you ride more groomed trails.
Thoroughly recommend, Mojo and Jack did a great job.
Cascade is already working on a link to Levo 2022! can we expect more than 160mm?
Not on the Levo - but this 170mm fork on the Rail is brilliant. It’s the Performance Elite and it’s everything I’d hoped the 38 would offer.
The e-tuned 38’s have a lighter compression tune. This one is supple, smooth, stiff and no harsh bottom outs.
There’s inconsistency out the factory on these Fox 38’s (and prob industry wide to be fair) but once you get a sorted set they are amazing.

You shouldn't have too but I suspect the inconsistency is largely due to QC at the factory and too much grease in the air shaft. Get a few tool and open them up, plenty of good guides on how. Keep them serviced, look after the seals and they are a great product.Are we supposed to play fork roulette until we get a good one?
Not sure. It seems to make a difference. “the initial stroke is softer the end stroke ramps up to provide more progression”I wonder why Specialized didn’t go with the E tuned damper in the Levo?
One of the inconsistencies seems to be the VVC system. The tolerances are quite fine and with production/machining variations each damper can produce very different results at the same setting. My damper needed parts manufactured to be able to get into the required tuning range so it could be a lottery if you get one that works as Fox intended.You shouldn't have too but I suspect the inconsistency is largely due to QC at the factory and too much grease in the air shaft.
