As mentioned at the bottom of this post, my Cane Creek Double Barrel Air had a failure. I got the shock back from service, and have some interesting bits of info regarding the fail.
So this is what TF Tuned wrote back to me:

At first, I didn't have a clue to what could have caused the shock to be pulled out of line. But after some brainstorming, I remembered that I snapped a shock mount bolt, a week before the shock failure. It twisted my shock upon compression, I know that for a fact.
Snapped shock bolt.
(btw, why do I constantly, snap, break, shatter or bend stuff? all I do is ride xc)

So is it a coincident? Or are these two things related? I think its highly plausible that the two incidents are indeed related. Anyway, the shock is back in working order, so is my 36 RC2 with a PUSH upgrade.
