RUN ... only run if the police is chasing me, and they have had no reason to do so for years now :P

doesn't he run a used bike dealership?

I keep my hardtail sagged at 0% for max efficiency! 

 

So at that weight, how do you guys know so much about suspension and suspension progression rates and feel? Don't you have to pump them up to pogo sticks just to avoid 45% sag?  :ph34r:  :whistling:  :eek:

Haha surprisingly not with the newer stuff. My fork is sitting at 85psi (MRP Ribbon), and rear at 250psi (Fox Float DPX2). Admitedly - setting up the rear suspension is a drag. The only bike it was not an issue on was the Evil Following MB because it was so progressive.

HAHAHAHAHA!

 

You've just gone full squish, so you should know the answer to that... (and you're not that mich lighter are you)

 

FWIW one token in the fork makes a mahoosive difference to feel and performance. One click of LSC / HSC / LSR slightly less so, but it's still there and noticeable. 

 

My shock - I downloaded the CCDB tuning app, put in my details and then set it. Only needed to give it a click more LSC damping and slow down the HSR by one click, but now it's perfect. Can definitely notice the differences though. 

 

Plus, I read. Lots. From people far more well versed in this stuff than I.

Ha! I am currently in at about 80kg, so a good chunk smaller but not light weight by any means. 100 miles to run in 10 days time!

 

I am also just pulling your socks and rather enjoying it! hahaha

I would not do that if I were you ... .word on the street is that they have holes in them and can be a little "full aroma" for the faint hearted!

Looool! I don't mind at all. And yeah, I know your training has taken a bit of an upswing with that race on the horizon. Will be holding thumbs for that one.
