Two questions for you:

1) The choice of using Delrin, was RT aware Delrin essentially destroyed Simplex's business because they opted to use Delrin in their mechanical bike parts, within years it would become brittle, crumble, and break? Curious what measures RT took to ensure longevity in the Delrin used for this application, why it would last longer, and if the same warranty as offered on the shocks will apply to the Delrin sleeves and joints.

2) What are we looking at MSRP-wise for a full buy-in as installed on the red test truck, $2800-$3200 range?
