Anyone been rocking the Roco Air on the Bottlerocket? I've seen some dudes stomping the Roco on the Transition Double and it looks to be a tough little shock. I called Transition and they said it is doable. I thought I would fish here for any real-world experiences. At $175 from go-ride.com it sounds like an ok way to cut some weight if the performance is there. Tell me your stories.

My LBS in Phoenix is a Tranny dealer and has sold a few Bottlerockets with Roco Air's, they all seem to be fine. I have a Roco Air on my Preston which in 5" mode is putting out a 3.3:1 leverage ratio on the 6.5x1.5" shock, so far so good. It feels different than a coil in that its very linear, but it rides well all around for not having any compression adjustment. They are a pretty sweet deal for $150-$175
