Duane_Bosch Posted November 3, 2017 Share i did some reading and scouring on PB okes who are 70kgs used 250-280lbs on they're makulus. so a 200 should be fine for me. im only 52kgs150lbs will make a big difference for me. pottie told me i should try a 200 aswell although i dont want a perfect 35% sagi like it being a bit more stiff so dont suffer hard bottom outs but this low leverage linkage should stop harsh bottoms since it takes more to compress it....unlike that canyon that was a bit more same feel straight throughout.Ok cool If Pottie says 200 that's probably good advice. Yeah those low leverage bikes feel very different. When I got my makulu I didn't enjoy it at first coz I couldn't feel it coming back. I think the trend is for less sag on those bikes. I ran mine with about 25% sag. But I'm hardly a good rider so don't take my advice. Edited November 3, 2017 by Duane_Bosch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindblowing. You'll probably wonder wtf is going on at first but slowly (or even quickly) you'll realise what you've been missing.
