Some food for thought

The DVO looks sweet on there.

Not sure if I miss the post, but how is the bike set up?

Suspension travel and angles?

Look here, if you are working this weekend I am more than happy to take that bike off your hands for the weekend

I work every sat, but free the afternoon, so most likely ride then. Sundays are a diff story unless early morn as in sunrise. That's gonna have to change to tokai times now.

You and your girl friend JasonS must show me around again sometime, or we must mission a jonkershoek

[Hairy]

we have broken up .... he would not give up on wearing his/her white shoes!

 

Jonkers over December holidays sounds good.

For your Monday woes, I give you a challenge.

 

I am in a predicament: I had 2 "enduro" bikes. One hard tail (HT) and one full sus (FS). Now I only have one (the FS) and after riding the other, it feels like absolute crap.

 

The 3 main issues are:

1. In fast corners - I now seem to be weaving in and out, rather than just holding a consistent line.
2. On jumps, I'm tending to "dead sailor" a lot more than before.
3. general not-niceness. (technical term there for ya)

Now I put it to you guys to deduce the main antagonist, as there are many differences other than having or not having rear travel.

 

Rims:

HT: 30mm IW

FS: 21mm IW

 

same tires.

 

Bars:

HT: 800mm

FS: 760mm

 

Stem:

HT: 45mm

FS: 60mm

 

Fork:

HT: Fox34 Factory - 160mm - Boost

FS: RS Pike RCT3 - 160mm - non-boost

 

• Could it be just down to cockpit setup? So if I duplicate my HT setup I'd duplicate the results?
• Does rim IW make that much of a difference?
• Or could it be that I know absolutely nothing about suspension setup and I got lucky when tinkering with the 34?

*edit: Updated forks

[Hairy]

maybe something as simple as rebound setup on the fork and shock?
