So I potentially have a new bike on the way... I was originally planning to buy frame only and utilize spare parts/swap, however the economics of the bike in built form was too hard to pass up vs frame only price given there were items I needed..
Anyway, one of the main items I was planning on swapping in was my fox36 fit4, the potential new bike comes with DVO Onyx SC D1.
The main items of contention being;

The main items of contention being;
- Onyx are heavy. Bike is heavy. Weight saving with 36's.
- The 36s are 51mm offset vs the Onyx and frame design for 'reduced offset' of 44mm. Forks will be at 160mm travel.
Will I notice the offset difference (@65deg HA)? Could always get a new CSU for 36s.. but $$ - Any reviews on the Onyx? I believe same damper system as the Diamond but 35mm vs 36mm stanchions.
- Onyx also has many adjustments I'll set and forget but also easier to stuff up. OTT, HSC, LSC etc. vs 36's FIT4 easy to set up..
