My pleasure. I got the lighter springs now so skid will come out this week.
fwiw, i got to evaluate the hygear axis build for trail use on my ltx se. it was VERY plush compared to stock. noticable front and rear difference. if you are looking for that type of ride it might be a good option.
the xc race setup we're working on now is getting closer !

Is the Hygear too plush or will it handle rough stuff also ? Is it a revalue or new shocks with reservoirs?mewaschuk said:

Is it the LTX SE that is giving many the rough ride? Or is the the base model SR Viper LTX....

I have ran Custom Axis shocks on my Nytro for years and they a premium quality product.. Pricey, but IMO well worth it for wide range tuning capability.

8 pages trying to get shock valving close. Not good.
That's because they are all different geometry wise. I bet axis got it right but there is no way a shock is going to give me the sag my Rtx rear suspension needs. Springs first for me. Haven't given up on my stock rear shocks yet but if and when I do axis will get a call. At least I am not destroying the suspension like I did on phazer.

Cannondale how did you make out with your softer springs? I just had my springs switched out with softer ones at D&D and when I went to load it I could tell just by sitting on it that it's going to be softer. Went from maybe half inch of sag with stock springs to about 2 inches of sag with lighter springs. That's on the ltx se. Hoping to get a good trail ride in tomorrow and hoping this cures the harshness of the suspension.
Putting them in tonight and riding tomorrow can't wait

Take it from someone who knows, best way to get em to ride nice is eat some more cheeseburgers! 
I am pretty happy with how mine rides to be honest but at 320# I shouldn't be on the lightest setting for my torsion Springs. I can understand why some people are unhappy. Think my shocks will get revalved over the summer. They missed factory calibration big time IMO. Usually I am cranked with the torsion Springs or buying heavier ones.

There is now a suspension topic for each model please post your model info in the specific model topic. I will work on splitting this topic into the 3 models. It will help keep things organized and easier to figure out. Thanks guys. They are located in Facts Sticky suspension category.

New softer springs work awesome! Best investment yet by far. Much smoother compression and rebound was very controlled I didn't get thrown around at all. Sled feels very plush and much more predictable now
