|   5th Element air or coil? | Jordan
Oct 15, 2003 5:07 PM | | I'm deciding between a 5th element air or coil shock for my next bike... I want it to be an XC/trailbike (i don't do much freeriding, and no bigger drops than what you'd find on your average trail), but i do weigh 220 and am not impressed with the suppleness of my current air shock (cane creek AD-12). Do i go for the weight savings and get the 5th Air, or is it worth the pound and a half for the coil? The bike will be a SC Heckler, btw. Thanks. |

It has more external adjustments, and at our size, is perfect. If you want to save some bike weight, go with a Ti spring. Let me know if you have any more questions. |
