Some tech advice please - tyres and suspension


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am busy getting used to my Reign 1 - some parts are easy to love - the brakes, shifting, dropper post, clutch rear mech,TALAS, chain guide amazing traction and climbing ability - while some are not as easy to get used to.

 

I have a 150 mm ctd fork and am still tweaking the pressure and trying the dh and trail settings to see what works best for me. Any advice on a tune would help - I am about 85kg in my kit. Are peeps adding oil ton the air spring chamber to change the rate a bit? Do the TALAS forks break in and get a bit less sticky after a while?

 

On teh rear I have a near perfect tune, but landed a jump yesterday and bounced the landing, which was a novel experience - I take it the rebound should be slowed a bit?

 

The bike comes with Nobby Nics - pretty grippy but seem to be very pressure sensitive - too soft they try burp off the rim and slide when pushed (rear) - and apparently when hard, they bounce. Any pressure recomendations?

 

Bike is huge fun - I am stunned at how well it climbs with the fork in its lower position - would definitely race a marathon event on it...
