Yup, was virtually nothing. 5% was jut an arbitrary number i stuck in. My bad,..... But still i get virtually no sag on the shock when i sit on it. I can feel the saddle dips a bit but not lots.

Are those pedals any good? Does that extra platform actually work? Tired of stripping CB pedals every year.

I like them a lot more than the standard XT or XTR ones. In gnarly situations they are easier to "find" and even provide reasonable support when not clicked in.

Oh flip, I've studied that manual so many times. My dining room table is covered in grease stains from ripping those things apart.

One more question for owners of Pyga OneTen : I don't feel any change whatever is the position of the flood gate level of the Monarch rear shock (blue level) . Is it a subtle change or is it my shox which need to be serviced ?

I'm talking from experience with a 120. There's a big difference on mine between settings.

 

Set sag on the open setting - you can run the monarch with much less pressure than you think. I weight 82 and I'm just under 100psi. I would set 30% sag at the back and go from there. That bike doesn't seem to bottom out very easily, so just watch the rubber ring after a rowdy ride and see where you end up. I also find that I need the rebound three clicks back from the rabbit to hit the sweet spot. Otherwise it just jams up.

 

Then, when you switch to "pro pedal" you should feel the bike riding a bit higher.

I had the same problem with an 2012 monarch RT3: no difference in all 3 positions of the blue lever. had to send it in to get it repepaired (was on a Titus Carbon Rockstar)

Yes, I must have same issue, I'll send it to be repaired. Out of that I'm still amazed by capacity of the bike to go fast on the downhill sections, even rocky :w00t:

 

Concerning rear shox setting, I ve update IFP chambre préssure down to 230 psi, and and it's much better for me, a good advice for Light riders.

Dad said I don't have to pay him back for this beauty if I pass 2nd year medicine. Enjoying riding it so much looks like I'll have to start forking out...

 

Thanks to Will the Anaesthetist and Revolution Cycles! Rev Cycles know how to look after their customers!

 

Oh ja, I really need a dropper post to complete my setup. Can anybody help/point me in the right direction?
