Tatt Posted December 1, 2013 Share Had a good ride yesterday at Tokai and out at Paul Cluver today. Had to let a bit of air out the front, as the recommended pressures on the RCT3 as suggest for a 100kg rider were way too high for me... So got the guys at T&T to set it to a 70-80kg person and it felt much better.... Any advice on setting an RCT would be appreciated! Other than that, its a brilliant ride!

Doezel Posted December 1, 2013 Share Lovely bike. I actually liked the stickers on the rims. But then its not mine, its yours. Enjoy Well, maybe, as a nice compromise, the stickers are still there on the left side of the bike. :-) Dude, wow!You went all out, this is done well. Love the extra Hope bits. How are those grips, I am thinking of getting some? Heh, thanks. Love the grips. Though I heard they tend to get slippery when wet. We'll see.

Doezel Posted December 1, 2013 Share Nice build! I bought 3M Helicopter tape - instead of the frame protection stickers, its much cheaper than the frame stickers. Tom Thanks, will look into this tape because the frame stickers are not a nice solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatt Posted December 1, 2013 Share This is the stuff I bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Helicopter-Bike-Frame-Protection-Tape-8671HS-Strong-Clear-Protective-Film-by-3M-/111218348036?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&var=&hash=item19e5215004 It is brilliant, not too sure why bike stores don't stock it..

TomI've just been through the same thing. My setup got a lot better when I set everything to mush and then worked up from there. So set as little rebound and compression as possible, and then set your sag at 30%. Like you I ended up with MUCH less air pressure. Then I add rebound until I get that bounce and a half, and then I added a touch of compression, but not much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted December 2, 2013 Share thinking I need to set my RCT3 and Monarch also up properly. Anyone have an idea of the pressures for 70kg rider? PS: whats everyone's solution to carrying (multi tool, 2 x air bomb, bomb adapter, tubeless repair kit), atm I carry it in a saddle bag, but want to keep the place open for a rear facing GoPro housing G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipsqueak Posted December 2, 2013 Share It got raided for the 650, I've been building it back up slowly - have all the stuff now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted December 2, 2013 Share so now you then need to show both bikes next to each other this does have the advantage of creating reason to rebuild the 110 into a new look G It got raided for the 650, I've been building it back up slowly - have all the stuff now.
