Thats my take on it.
Any chance you guys are coming out (or already have something that fits) with decent adjustable shocks for this thing, especially in the low-speed damping, so that lower-profile tires (and in general) could be more livable around pothole-cities?

And in general how is it around town in terms of stiffness to your liking? I'm a bit concerned with a few reports of how stiff it is at low speeds. For a reference - I did find the ride of spec.b on RCE T1s decent enough around town with about 2-3 clicks from full soft up front and full soft in the back, iirc.
