If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

Does the charger 2 fit inside the gen 1 (2017 MY Pike)? I was going to just put the RCT3 Charger 1 damper in it. I have no use for a lockout, but I like the low speed compression adjust that the RCT3 has. Wait, does the RC damper compression adjuster affect LSC only?
No- charger 2 has different threads/diameter vs pike 1. Yeah- your RC damper has low speed compression adjust. The RCT3 damper only adds lockout/platform/open mode on top of a low-speed adjustment. I'd ride the RC and try to get dialed in before spending the money on upgrading.

Bought pre-built with DT240 straight pull CX Ray.
28mm external/21mm internal with hooks. Need hooks for road tires. 25c tires fit square on them. Many aeros.

Wait, I had to sleep on this. So are you telling me that the RC damper compression adjust is LSC only and there is no cross HSC cross talk on that adjuster? I swear that I've had issues getting RC damper pike's where I want them with regards to LSC without getting harshness and spiking on HSC. I'm going to be blown away if all that is a figment of my imagination.
Most lsc adjusters raise the entire damping curve. I'm pretty sure this one does the same- ie if you add low speed you'll be adding some high speed as well.
I'm not a fork guy- and I don't know what old dampers you've used, but motion control (open bath) sucks and is harsh. It also has a single lsc adjuster **** so those might be confusing your opinion.
All I'm saying is that you should definitely try riding this one before upgrading.

Last night the new lady in my life requested that we synchronize leg shaving, lol. This was after we casually rode bikes, watched Tulsa Tough streaming whilst planting an herb garden, then cooking joint dinner. Need to start saving for a ring.

Do you have data on the new profiles? I was about to build a new wheelset with the 55x25 LB Ushaped rims as a more aero option but now I'm wondering about the new 46x28. Going to be running the GP4K in 25mm that I got from Trey. Assuming I have an extra ~.080 on either side of my wheels on my SL4 tarmac frame. The VanDessel has lots of room.
