It's always worth a shot. One other thing that annoys me. Service intervals...
When you change the travel, make sure you refill the lowers with the right amount of fluid as Fox are almost always underfilled to save money but this causes premature wear and worse performance.
Hope you enjoy them, though
They're stiff and really confidence inspiring but they're not the best I've ridden. They're not mind blowing on small hits (and that's with the low friction seals), and if you hit a rough section (proper rocks) pretty fast then they can lose their composure. Also, with my weight I can never get through that last inch of travel, no matter how hard I try. I don't get why everybody is obsessed with Fox tbh. My next set of forks will either by some of the new Zocchi 55s or Bos Devilles.

Get well and riding again soon! I'm so glad that you managed to get Giant on board. :)
