OT - Mt. Bikers, any here?

I swear buy Cane Creek air and use that on two of three bikes. The one with lockout which is on the Sugar 3 is going to be replaced soon. I'm looking at either a Cloud 9 or AD-12.

Thats what I intend to get as well to replace the AD-5 my ride came with. Probably the Cloud9. and in case anyone is interested and didn't know, cane creek takes trade ins on old shocks for credit towards purchase. Makes buying a $300+ shocka little easier to swallow for me!

Weight is still a big factor. The Specialized I mentioned above comes in at a hair under 30 lbs. which is definitely heavier than my Bontrager OR Lite which comes in around 24 lbs. (I'll be wieghing it at the bike store later today when I pick it up).

I was shocked (no pun intended ) to find out that my hard tail Bontrager comes in at just under 27 lbs. . So the Specialized Enduro SL is only 3 lbs. heavier. 14 year old hard tail vs. brand new dual squishy... I thought their would be a bigger difference...
