Anybody ridding this bike? The reviews I read on the 36 line don't seem to be that great, except for the 36TALAS RC2, mostly bottoming issues.

I'm not that heavy, 180lb, nor will I be doing huge drops but I do plan on going to whistler a few times this year.

Does this fork blow through it's travel quickly? Also do you get different springs when you buy the bike or is that only something you get when you buy the fork aftermarket?

I've got a Reign X1 w/ a 36 Vanilla R. Didn't come w/ any different springs, but I understand that you can get them direct from Fox for pretty cheap, if necessary. I'm about 200 lbs w/ gear and with the preload set a couple turns away from max, I'm fine. I've only had the bike for about 2 1/2 weeks, but I've ridden it pretty hard (including several 3-5 ft drops) already and haven't bottomed the shock yet, YMMV.
