Progressive mono tubes, problems or failures?
I'm really leaning towards the mono tubes. There are so many happy customers, they seem like a good choice.
There must be some mono tubes that have failed for one reason or another. Anyone have a story to share?

But also think of it like this...there may be people who continue to voice their displeasure but why don't members just do a search instead of keep asking for opinions?

I have installed them in around 10-12 bikes in the last year or so, and virtually everybody, including my self hates them!!....... NO I kidding!! they all really love them!! no brake dive, as mentioned, no fork maintenance, bike handles so much better. biggest complaint, seems to be a harsher ride, but thats usually what a performance shock does as an after effect

I have about 100 miles on mine with 2 clips and so far I like them. Works as advertised, brake dive is gone, the slight shift I had going into higher speed sweepers is diminished greatly, and the ride while firmer than stock seems to take the jolt out of large hits better than stock. It is a firmer ride, however I would not call it harsh. The front end feels much more planted than stock forks with 35k miles.
