beanz Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 If you guys don't mind. What do you weigh? About 73kgs Spoke101 1
RockCoach Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 WHAT ... 2 x Pascoe's in the house ... surely that is not legal! Funny enough we have always ended up with the same trail bikes at the same time. Usually because of a deal we could not pass up. The other bikes in the garage are all different.

Funny enough we have always ended up with the same trail bikes at the same time. Usually because of a deal we could not pass up. The other bikes in the garage are all different. Yea, they really came through for me in my hour of need.Actually the oil change was plan B. The original intention was to change the shims but they couldn't get hold of the shim kit in time. But it worked out brilliantly. Patrick tuned the shock for a light rider for my wife before it left the factory. But will check and make sure it's working properly and perhaps even service it with a lighter weight oil in future. Thanks.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 This is something I'm battling with. I'm new to bikes with dual suspension and more travel and suspect that my settings aren't at all optimum. What is a good starting point for rebound and compression on both front and rear? I intend on spending some time on th the trail to tweak, but I want a good starting point. I've found that it depends on the speed I'm going. The slower I am, the less the rebound speed matters, and the mess the compression damping matters. But - as a starting point, assuming an average speed - it all depends on the fork and shock, and what you're riding Rebound should never be "poppy" and compression adjustment should be just off medium, so as to prevent it from looking like a pogo stick. Low speed compression should be ramped up more than high speed compression (as it controls how fast the fork compresses under braking / pedalling forces, whereas the high speed compression needs to be as active as possible to allow sensitivity over rapid changes in environment) Hope that helps...
cadenceblur Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Mmm, I'm currently sitting on dead on in the middle on both compression and rebound on my shock and fork... I have a revelation rct3 and the monarch rt3Fork feels like it wants to "buck" me forward at times.

Slow down the rebound a bit. I'm sure that's what helped me towards my recent fail - a rebound set too fast
Tree Hubber Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Slow down the rebound a bit. I'm sure that's what helped me towards my recent fail - a rebound set too fast ditto.. Had the same set-up with the rebound set too high.. at the G-Spot the other week ended up doing an unintentional front roll with a head plant. Set the Re-Bound super low on the next couple of runs and had a better time.
beanz Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I found the cane creek website useful, and in particular the tuning field guide. Although it is intended for their shocks, it gives a very good overview of how the different tune settings affect the ride quality, and how to adjust the shock (at least what is adjustable), that can be applied generally. http://www.canecreek...air/tuning-tipshttp://www.canecreek...tfg_english.pdf cadenceblur and RockCoach 2
Doezel Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Came to the conclusion that my 750mm handlebar wasn't wide enough. Switched to 780mm: Hairy, RockCoach and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3
