Hairy Posted January 13, 2021 Share Funny...Unless I missed something, not a single bike shop has put their hand up to offer assistance here. Either all still on a break or too much business to give a damn!!!I recon they are busy fixing everything broken by ham-fisted home mechanics and fixing busted bikes from the December holiday period.

Wimmas Posted January 13, 2021 Share I checked the Spez recommendations which are 25-30% sag on shock. I will try inceasing pressure to about 250psi and see what that does. I initially assumed that the 30% sag would provide a softer more plush ride, but, if I understand you correctly, riding lower in the travel may well result in less mid stroke and therefor ramp up much quicker.If I may ask, what do you weigh?

DieselnDust Posted January 13, 2021 Share Mike I'd also suggest you gove Chris Nixon at Bike Park Uitsig a call.Chris is an Enduro racer of note and been SA DH champ at various points in his career. He also understands suspension. Then he has a really fantastic facility in his shops back yard that will allow you to try the settings in a safe environment before he takes you into Tokai to check again. I Highly recommends this option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get onto it right away. Thanks for pointing me in this direction. Edited January 14, 2021 by Mike Mac DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
