Ride Description: WoooHoooo! 1st test ride with the Risse Racing Astro-5 Air Shock. It is incredible! With the old Fox Vanilla Coil, the bike would turn into a bucking bronco at 14+ mph. Now with 150 lbs of air, it has the ride of a soft-tail, and it doesn't have any noticeable bob until 17 mph! Flipping the damper to the "Uphill" setting, it barely bobs at all. In fact, the headshok bobs more than the rear at 18+ mph. So if I lock-out the fork, it pretty much "spins out" before any noticeable bob.
After removing the chain roller, I had to add some spacers and adjust the tensioner so it wouldn't rub the chain. Sounds a bit noisy in the basement but any drive-train noise was drowned out by the tire noise on the road. It might be more noticeable off-road, but it's 250% quieter.

This bike rocks! I can't wait to try it in the singletrack with lower air pressures.
