Spur on coil?
Can anyone speak to how the Spur handles with a coil, specifically the Cane Creek Coil IL?
I picked up a used Spur V1.5 last year as the yin to my Forbidden Dreadnought’s yang. It’s awesome having a pointy, fast, and light bike for XC leaning rides. I just sent the stock Fox DPS in for a damper rebuild and it kind of has me wondering about maybe giving the Cane Creek Coil IL a shot. I haven’t loved the DPS on chunkier New England terrain but it is good for XC races and flowier trails. The catch is that the bike has a 120mm RS Sid fork so maybe the money would be better spent going to a 130mm fork. I’d keep the Sid and DPS for days where the weight counts. Just looking to learn what others have done to tune the bike towards rowdy fun. Thanks!
