I've heard that you need to drill and modify the fork to accept the Avanlanche cartridges. Am I right?

@builttoride: Congratulations! This is the most relevant comment posted in a while about suspension. I wish more people could understand basic important concepts like you did.

Gutsy to aim for a 50 footer on a hardtail with rear brake only !!!

Wade, you mean the 2 units we had on order that are B.O. since early summer? BTW, we have PAID for those already. Since PB seems the easiest way to reach you, can you call me on Tuesday?

Hey Wade, instead of bashing on a forum why don't you reply to our emails? Maybe a phone call would also be great so we can return all the defective products? We haven't copied anything from CR1. We tried to help but you guys don't seem willing to help yourselves out...
