Mine didn't - $600 for a lightly used Durolux and $650 for a warranty replacement Fox X2 Factory 😄

Not a component but Vorsprung have realeased a best design practice for frame manufacturers and shock mounting. Some good humour amongst the tech, interesting if manufacturers listen.

"If you find yourself combining a trunnion (to shorten the shock) with a yoke (to lengthenthe shock), put down the bong and start again when you’re sober."

hahahaha Gotta love Vorsprung steve's aussie sense of humour.

Yup it’s awesome. The Telum release had unicorns listed on one of the graphs axis. Also from the doc above:

And if this is insufficient consider using Halloumi or some other stronger grade of cheese for the frame.

I recommend starting a new thread with list of bikes that use standard eyelet shock mounting.

I have a 2017 Specialized Enduro with a yolk mounted shock and the shock is lucky to last 100 hours before the damper need a full rebuild.

Another bike is a Polygon Mount Bromo which uses a trunnion mount. The shock loses air pressure after only a few hours of riding. I assume is is from the side loads to the air seals due to the flexing of the suspension under heavy loads. I have tried changing air seals but the fix is only temporary.

Needless to say, my next bike purchase must have standard eyelets.

Key takeaways are:

Yoke : run for the hills

Trunion: not ideal, but should be OK if the frame is stiff and has good tolerances

Eyelet: just send it

I don't think polygons are renowned to be stiff and well aligned which doesn't help

$250 more than a wireless Reverb with a shittier-looking lever...
