RockCoach Posted January 14, 2014 Share I fitted the rt3 before then at shawswood. Unless you're confusing me with Goose11111111 and his black beauty But Goose has a white Hadeda??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofearnofun Posted January 14, 2014 Share But Goose has a white Hadeda??? He seems happy with his stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana Posted January 14, 2014 Share I have a Monarch RT3 High Volume 200mm x 57mm shock on my shova. I used to bottom out quite a bit, and by bottom out I mean the rear tyre hit the FD cable guide. This happened on certain gap jumps, drops, and also on this one berm that I like to ride hard. Last year I got myself an Intense 24" Cruiser BMX. I use it for pump track riding and skills training. Since then I have not bottomed out my Shova yet (my bike handling is infinitely smoother), I am actually thinking of reducing the pressure in the Monarch.

Should the Shova not have a 50mm stroke shock (still 200mm eye to eye). That could be why the rear wheel bottoms out agaisnt the frame (which is major design flaw if correct shock is fitted). With the shorter stroke the rear wheel should clear the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the shorter stroke the rear wheel should clear the frame Yes, I am 100% aware of that, but what I am saying is that I bottom out very seldom since I have started focussing on becoming a smoother rider. My bike was supplied with a 200 x 57mm shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bike was supplied with a 200 x 57mm shock. Yeah, I think a number of them were. I know Conna was having trouble with his due to this incorrectly specced shock.

My bike was supplied with a 200 x 57mm shock. I'm not the smoothest rider, I am aware of that BUT the wrong stroke length effectively means that the suspension doesn't work. And that doesn't inspire confidence when you are a noob trying to become smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofearnofun Posted January 15, 2014 Share Maybe you can give me lessons on getting airborne WITHOUT THE BIKE First lesson: you dont get airborne without the bike. You always start on the bike, get airborne and then you and the bike go your own ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
