    @Al Castill high-end coil shocks are as good and even better than any air shock on the market depending on the brand and model. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either a shill, a sponsored Rider or somebody who doesn't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to the physics of telescopic Fork suspension. There are several good coil Fork manufacturers that provide MTB Forks. Plan on spending $1,000 or more. Öhlins, Cane Creek, DT Swiss & Push ( both actually utilize both a coil and air) 👍

    This is by far the clearest and simplest tutorial in correctly adjusting your suspension. Highly recommend to viewing it and doing it. So far....it improved the ride of our MTBs dramatically....The bikes have never felt or ridden better than they have in the last 2 days than all the other 50+ days. Plan on spending more like 30 minutes per bike and 60 minutes if you need to remove fork or shock tokens per your tutorial outcomes. Excellent work Bike Radar!
