I got the Cagua 650b E:i 2013, love the bike but have had similar issues with
the fork, I do not need the Tallas especially as the E:i system adjust the
shock automatically. The 2013 Tallas is a lot of weight and is almost useless
in reduced travel anyway. The only way to find a great ride is to do as the
reviewer did, top up the oil, find a compromise in trail setting and leave it
there.
Now that that is sorted this bike is almost perfect but I can't help feeling
it would benefit from either a Rockshox Pike or even an X-Fusion Sweep. Both
are better options and less expensive.
Once set up right this nike will take anything you can through at it and is a
really confident machine.
I have also just ordered a set of Hans Dampf but as we get dry winters here in
Sichuan I probably won't put them on till January.
I went down a size and this made the bike perfect.
