Thanks! I actually went back to the Grip damper because I had to sell the fork I pulled the Grip2 from. I'm really familiar with that damper and it worked just as well in the Z1, but I did have to run some pretty extreme settings with the Grip2 in there, I'm guessing because it wasn't tuned with a linear spring in mind, though I could be totally wrong there. I think I ended up right at the extreme end of one of the rebound settings, which was way off of where I ran it in my 36-- I just remember being relieved I didn't need one more click. Overall the only thing I miss from the Grip2 is the HSR adjuster. I personally wouldn't spring for the Grip2 having tried both in this fork. Only other thing I'll mention is that this thing is heav.y. Absolutely amazing traction but I definitely notice it takes more effort to get the front end off the ground with all that weight and without a progressive air spring to push off of. If I started this build over today I might go with a lyrik tbh.

Really digging this parts spec! Was looking at the Z1 Coil with GRIP2 for my AF. Are you liking the damper upgrade?

Thank you! Lots of subtle differences but the biggest thing I noticed is how the dw link remains more active in situations where the linkage-driven single pivot of the Meta tends to lock up a bit--I first felt it when putting power down on techy climbs, but it became really evident when leaning the bike through bombed-out, rutty corners--the bike just feels more composed and less choppy. That said, I can't really say how much of this is down to the coil, as this is my first coil and first dw bike.

Overall the Ibis feels more lively and rides a bit lighter than the Meta. I have noticed a little more flex in the AF, but it's worth the tradeoff.

Looks sick man! How would you compare the Ripmo AF to your Meta TR? I just rode my sons new Meta TR the other day and put my thoughts on on my instagram @havenoutdoors .
