rouxtjie Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Recently purchased a RS Reba 2013 solo air RLT. Now I have owned both a SID and Reba before but didn't really fiddle to much with it(except for running 10psi less in neg chamber, which now falls away with the solo air) and then moved over to a fox f29 which doesn't have a whole lot to play with regarding settings. My question is really around the threshold adjust / floodgate dial. What is your preferred setting regarding this, I like a firm lockout which would suggest turning it all the way(clockwise) to it firmest setting but what do I loose in the process...ie what is the other side of the coin if I go this option...could I damage internals if I have it on its max "stiffness" setting on big hits etc Lets hear it.

Meentb Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I just bought a bike with a lefty. VERY HAPPY since then.
rouxtjie Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 DIE DUTCHIE VIL ERINSTIG WEETYebo, the thing with a RS is(I have owned 2) because there is so much tuneable options on it, you can make it behave pretty kuk if you don't get the settings right.
rouxtjie Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 I just bought a bike with a lefty. VERY HAPPY since then.If I had the money for a new hub, I might have done the same, but just too much money to drop right now... 1568g for a 29er fork that doesn't shoot the lights out ito bank balance...happy days Ryanpmb 1
Vinnydabutcher Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Set mine up as per JCZA so now have 100m travel as opposed to the 80 with pos & neg psi the same. Think its 110psi pos - 95 psi neg - I run it a bit less than recommended - rebound 3/4 closed Im at 83kg. Hope that helps.
MTBc Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 so your floodgate is set to "stiffest" yes? got the same fork 6 weeks ago. during setup, i had a different approach - floodgate set to pretty "soft" (1 turn in). I'm 70kg, running pressure of about 5.2 give this a gander... http://fuzzz.gaulin.ca/2007/07/29/dial-in-your-reba-like-a-pro/ rouxtjie 1

Hope that helps.Ta thanks Vince, ja look the solo air is pretty simple wrt air pressure since you have no option over the negative chamber I normally go about 15 psi less than what the RS suggestion is to my weight....normally my butter zone. Also the rebound is pretty simple...I like 2 clicks from the "hare"(pretty fast rebound action)...then I happy as larry....The thing I am puzzling with is the floodgate. I like a firm lockout so my thinking is to go for gold and go turn it all the way to its firmest setting.
rouxtjie Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 rouxjie most of us have dual air shocks so we aint gonna be able to helps you wif settings No you will, dual or solo air doesn't make a difference....its the floodgate or threshold adjust that some of the Rebas, SID's and Pike have that I am interested in
