Enduro/gravity bike suspension and geo

Howzit guys/girls.

 

I have a Fox DPX2 on my bike and I’m struggling with peddle strikes. Not sure what my cranks length is but I can’t change that anyway.

Is there a way to up the “spring rate” or something? I ride with the shock in open because I often forget to move it from the other settings. Can I just add air? Am I dom?

Flip the chips on that GG to the steep position. Should raise the BB a bit. Sag should still be around 30%

I put it in Gravity mode after our first run. Bike felt so good but I had to pay serious attention to my peddles.

Check your sag first and foremost. Adding some low speed compression will also make the bike ride a tad higher. I manage with my enduro in the low setting but it has 170mm cranks.

What were you trying to sell while riding? 

 

I usually leave my peddling alone while out for a pedal....

Sag is set. I added quite a lot of lsc but will give it a go with it maxed out. Thanks for the tip.

RAD! Congratulations. It is most definitely a buyers market at the moment

Indeed. Let me know if you ever want to ride at my place in Harties.

Hahahaha! Fair enough. You own a little more of the trail. I might buy some with a view next time.

Wow its quiet around here... Anyone else found that RS forks overstate the air pressure to rider weight? I'm in at least the 85kg range but I find the recommended pressure way to high. I'm currently around 55psi in my Yari with no tokens!

Use the available travel and feel comfy for my pathetic right hand which is prone to going numb...
