[QUOTE="Warbleed, post: 2271174, member: 549898"] I'm not really sure why many of you are so surprised at the reactions. These kind of responses are guaranteed to entail ANY thread that involves ED, regardless of how relevant it is to the topic being discussed. Many people have very valid reasons for disliking ED and Ben Milne (I know several of them personally), and a far larger number have never met him, talked to him, or done business with him in anyway. They base virtually all of their statements of "fact" on second, third, or worsehand accounts. Speculation in any direction is really rather moot at this point, since all we are furnished with is a view of the surround and cone, from which we can formulate very little. I'm not a big fan of hype, and I never will be. Hyping this product up before it's even close to production is pointless, as is speculating about it's reliability, construction, design basis, or capabilities based on virtually no information. Now with all the BS aside, it looks interesting; the suspension looks to be capable of at least 4" p2p, but no judgements can really be made about its linear excursion or actual peak travel, not really much more that can be said about it at this point, for the aforementioned reasons.
