TLDR

We fixed the stuff that everyone complained about and obsoleted the shocks you bought last year.

 

And then made the shocks more expensive by $100 each.

 

... which totally validates my decision to be cheap and run the Bilsteins until the last possible minute.

 

Single spring, NB tophat Xida Races suddenly look like a bargain again. Whodathunk.

 

On one hand, I wish they had reached out to me when they were looking for candidates to replace the Bilsteins. We could have built a pretty badass little shock within their budget constraints with a big enough contract. On the other hand, I'm glad I didn't. That hypothetical SM Xida to might be a little too good a bargain and hurt Xida Race sales

As things stand, there is little risk of that.
