On the 4th day of Xmas...

...your true love will give to you a Rock Shox Monarch RT3 rear shock. I have ridden Fox rear shocks for several years and I was led to believe it was the bar to which others strive for. This Monarch shock is much nicer than RP23 in that the rear wheel just stays glued to the ground without blowing through travel that is not needed. My Fox shocks would always blow through much of the travel on g-outs and such. The Monarch shock took the Superfly 100 up several notches. I really dig it, as such, it made my little list here.
