So, is there a general consensus? Remote needed or not? Is there a lot of pedal bob?

We'll start without remote, hopefully it is not needed.
I'm no anti-squat expert, but the ring you will use, and the cassette and usual sprockets when climbing will impact the bobbling. Right ?

Only downside to that is that it's really expensive to switch to a remote system.

Why SID Ultimate instead of Fox 32 Factory SC?

I Want the 35mm stanchions for less flex. I have a 32 mm SID on a previous bike, and already at 100 mm it's a bit of a noodle. So when going for 120mm the Ulitmate seems perfect. Light and sturdy.

*Edit - If I would go for the Fox SC it would be the 34 version. But I believe that is both heavier and more expensive than the Ultimate?

My frame should be about ready to be shipped. Going for the SID ultimate and SIDluxe combo. Nice to save a few € on the remote if it's not needed + the SIDluxe is soon available without the remote.
