Any shock is only as good as the valving. The 888 is excellent with minor tweaking, primarily adding rebound. You just have to have this tight enough because if you try and adjust too much in with the clicker, you introduce "cross talk" which affects the compression. Once you understand that the rebound clicker should not be run in past 15 clicks and adjust the stack, all is good. I did very well on the bike this past year and it did not beat me up or hold me back at all.

Thanks for the reply.
My 2012 suspension was completely rebuilt and revalved by Pro-Action Suspension in PA. They did a great job!!! Plus they will revalve/rebuild the suspension for life!!
Guess I was just curious if the TTX is that much better then my 888. From your response it does not seem like it. I ran across a great deal on a TTX and have been going back and forth and getting it.....
In regards to the bottom clicker and your comments. This seems to be an issue with mine. When I go to turn in all the way it does not come to a complete stop but I can tell as it gets tight and goes in to 1/2 clicks. Right now I am at 27 clicks out. But the other thing I notice is that when I back it out all the way there seems to be NO stop at all. Feels as though it is going to come completely out, but it never will. This seems odd to me since it is such a well made shock. But again I don't think it is any big deal as the shock performs great. It makes my old CRF Showa shock seem as though it was actually never working....
