I have about 20 rides now on my joker with fox vanilla and manitou dorado. The biggest difference in
the suspension from my air-sprung jekyll, (aside from the extra 2 inches, woo hoo!!) is that the
dampening actually knobs make a difference.

Which is it?
a) dampening on air shocks is a joke
b) lefty and fox RC are ****
c) vanilla & dorado are a really sweet setup

I've gained 12 lbs on my ride (39), and I've never had more fun. I had no idea what a skittish,
flexy, undersuspended, pedal induced bobbing, POS my old ride was until now. My new motto: screw the
weight, get something that works and build the strength to use it. Ellsworth bikes rock.
