Anthem X: What do you weigh vs front and back shock pressure

[jugheaddave]

Hi.

 

As above, what do you weigh, and what is your front and back shock/fork pressure.

 

thanks

[splat]

I weigh about 100kg

Front shock: approx 95 (Fox 32 F100 RL)

Rear: about 175 (Fox RP2)

Anthem X1

67kg

Fox 100mm travel fork

RP2 shock

Front 65

Rear 160

remember to say what shock you have, pressures differ drastically between models and brands.

Thanks Covie.

 

I am talking of a bike with a Fox F100rl, and Float RP2.

when I had a fox rl used to run it at 85 psi

I weigh about 88kg.

Front shock about 85

Rear shock about 180-190

 

Just as important is the rebound damping you set.

On rear, ride off a pavement and the shock should compress and then rebound only once. Too much rebound and you bounce up and down a few times.

 

I turned the rebound damping (how much damping or resistance to rebound)completely to max damping, and then added back 3 or 4 clicks of less damping. That seems to work well. This applies to both front and back.

 

When i bought my anthem x1 the rebounds were hopelessly out and i found the handling on the bike was poor. Took me ages to figure this shcok setup story out.

Thanks for the feed back.

Im interested in those who have tora's while waiting for my revelation I am riding a Tora and I just cant find that sweet spot.

Fork:

SiD WC: Pos air: 60psi

Neg air: 60psi

Sag = 25%

 

Shock:

RP23: 110psi (pump to 120psi to factor in air loss when disconnecting shock pump). Sag = +- 8mm with full travel obtained when shock in "open" position.

 

I weigh 65kg.

Same fork for me, but I find it very hard to measure sag as it almost "locks", even in open position, untill you hit some bumps (similar to old Fox X). I run much higher pressure, 100psi front, 160psi back (RP23) 80kg.

I'm 72kg with gear and 2x 500ml bottles.

 

Rear pressure depends on the terrain. 145 for very technical terrain or a trail bike feel, 155 for gravel and a harder race feel.

 

RP23 rear: 150 PSI (using RockShox pump - loses about 8% when detaching, according to web) Rebound 4 clicks from wide open towards closed. So +- half (9 clicks from open to closed on mine)

 

Front: Sid Race 100mm 80PSI top/60 PSI bottom, 11 clicks rebound from open/fastest position.

Very similar!

I`m about 76kg (on my own)

 

RP23 rear: 160psi (FOX pump) Rebound set to half way

SID Race front: 60psi top and 60psi bottom. Rebound near half way. (RockShox pump)
