Suspension Setup Sag/Travel

That's the best post this week.

Trying to reduce the thump of big hits. It's a 100mm SiD so there's a limit to what I'll achieve.

I'm not sure we have the same definition of big hits...but!



On my short travel forks I run minimal sag, like 10-15%. I think you will need to sacrifice some fine bu.p for a better result on the big hits. Maybe not as much as I do. Have you tried something like 20-25% sag with a good dose of compression? You could also look at running a heavier oil than spec in your compression dampener as a way of slowing the big hits down. But you may blow something.


Taking the spacer out may give you a slightly longer stroke before the big thump occurs. But if you are bottoming out the fork, we'll you are bottoming g out the fork.


Try speeding g the rebound up as well.

I have tried, but there is something unique to Wensleydale style cheddar that I just can't enjoy.
