All settings should be somewhere in the middle, if it was set up for your weight, in your normal riding kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such thing as an exact spring rate some cover 20kilo difference. If I was 80k a would have to choose a 70/80 spring and be slightly soft of a 80/90 spring and be slightly firm. But at 85k an 80/90k spring isspot on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The damping shouldn't be maxed out, something's wrong. Either they've got the sims stack wrong, or it's not setup correctly. Rebound effects both compression & rebound, where as compression does just that and has a smaller effect. Depending on model it's possible you've got heigh/low speed adjustment on both. Again if incorrectly set up it's possible to max one or other out. Also many think for a shock to work well should be stiff, it's really not the case.

Berry Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It was maxed out on the standard shock! That's why I replaced it. That's why the text said the standard shock may work better with the 132k spring as rebound force will be less👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs an odd click but I am not touching it until I get some warm scratching days to set it properly. I am fitting front springs next week as standard was not only soft but bottoming out chewed the braking distances. Also lifting fork oil from 5w to 5.5w as spring is 10% stiffer this will balance the extra rebound force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
