New shock time: Intend Hover Gamechanger or EXT Storia V3?
Price difference between the two isn't really the issue as the Storia is only $50 more.
I already have the correct weight spring and the Pinner Machine Shop spacer to make the Storia fit the Cascade Components linkage. Good local support and warranty, and a specific tune and guidance on setup to suit the bike. On the downside, its about a 3 week wait as not in stock, and as I understand it they're quite noisy.
Alternatively the Hover is about 200g lighter (I'm already trying to shed weight out of my porky little trail bike), a bit more versastile in that I can use it with the OG linkage or Cascade Linkage, and hopefully will make the Druid a bit more lively rather than ground hugging. However, from what I can gather it can be tough to get setup properly, there's prettly limited support, no baseline setup to work from, and who knows how long it'll spend in Frankfurt.
