Headshot Posted March 2, 2021 Share 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!

Headshot Posted March 2, 2021 Share to high to what?  Use the available travel and feel comfy for my pathetic right hand which is prone to going numb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermophage Posted March 2, 2021 Share Ag I honestly take manufacturers pressures with a pinch of salt. A starting point at best mos Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted March 2, 2021 Share On my Revelation I'm at 50 psi with two tokens. Way below manufacturer recommendation. Same with the Pike on my hardtail. I think I'm on 55psi sans tokens there. Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted March 2, 2021 Share Nice topic to get it going again. Has it been the lack of events?  All I know is that after going back and forth between the new and old air spring, I've found a great pressure and I haven't touched the thing since George Enduro last year. Probably due for a service soon. No Idea what that is though since my shockpump's dial is whack. I was just getting beat up badly on long rocky (Armageddon style) descends, and dropped the pressure by around 5 PSI. It sags slightly more now in the garage sag test, but once on the trail, I find it way more comfortable with better traction and the slow speed compression actually doing its thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted March 5, 2021 Share Sounds to me like you need to give up on RS, throw some money at the problem and go full BBRRUUNNNIII with a Ohlins fork!Actually no, I love my Pike wif Charger and my Yari with motion control - the latter has been totally reliable and always gets great reviews. Sure the damper could be a little better - I get a bit of dive under braking, but for the most part I can't fault it.  I have just tossed the Guides off my Enduro and replaced them with 785 XT's. Next is a new Shimano 203 rotor up front and the old 200 rotor at the back. So happy to be off those awful DOT fluid brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted May 20, 2021 Share I forked out for an Assegai for the front wheel of my Enduro. about a month back. Its an exo plus 2.6 and so far its been great. The difference in grip between it and the Aggressor is noticeable, but not in a smack you in the face kind of way, compared to say when I went from a worn out DHR 2 to a Magic Mary a few years back. Its as if you don't notice the tyre because it just does its thing. The most striking thing has actually been how fast it rolls. I was expecting a noticeable increase in resistance but so far its been the opposite. I even got a pb up the long jeep track at Tokai. Weird. I'm still getting used to the increased grip and slowly increasing my cornering speed on the downs. DieselnDust, BaGearA and Hairy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted November 11, 2021 Share My enduro was out of action for a bit while Stoke waited for a service kit and then came to grips with the idiosyncrasies of the Ohlins STX22. Such a lekker shock with a serious design flaw. I am hoping it holds air a bit better than it did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
