    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    The wheel and tyre set up I have has definitely helped, the grip and stability is there now. I have removed a token from the fork so I’m now only running 2 tokens instead of the factory 3 tokens. That has sorted the harsh first stroke out but it’s still not great as obviously now I have lost a...

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    I’m not sure, but if I was going to guess it will be the 34 internals as the volume tokens still suggest the green ones

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    A coil fork is definitely on the cards for me, I had a giant AC2 back in the day with a coil set up and it was amazing, switching to air a few years later I didn’t like it at first but I think over the years air suspension was pushed onto the market and it just landed up being the norm and I...

    I’m not sure of the casings but I’m running 18psi in the rear and 15psi in the front with Cush core installed.

    I will certainly bare this in mind, I don’t want the cost of changing the forks if this problem can be solved.

    No I haven’t serviced them, I bought the bike brand new January this year and it’s only had about 5 hours of riding since then.

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    My riding weight is 230lb and I went with 548lb spring, i personally think the bike is on the progressive side. The rear coil shock seems to work great for me. The fork on the other hand is was to harsh and I’m just not getting on with it. I have had 36’s on all of my bikes over the last 5 years...

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    Best upgrade I have ever bought for a bike. It can be tricky picking the right weight coil but once it’s correct you never have to worry about it which is another reason why I like it. I don’t wanna be messing about, I just want to ride and with the coil it’s consistent. The öhlins is plush and...

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    Harsh stiff ride while riding rocks, roots etc. Even riding on fire roads is harsh on the hands and No grip. I have solved 80% of these issues with the wheel set up but fork is still very vague and I feel it’s under performing.

    Sizing question - before I pull the trigger

    100% go with the large, I am 5'10 riding a large decoy as I went with yt's suggestions. it fits me ok but my buddy went for a XL decoy and its just that little bit more comfortable for me.

    Decoy pro Race 2019 Öhlins shock, Fox 36 E-fork

    After weeks of struggling with suspension tunes I decided to go with a coil shock as some of you already know. I have been meaning to post this for weeks, sorry its only now I have had the time. The fork on the other hand is still not correct for me so im considering changing them to a ultimate...

    I don’t know what is a good starting point with my weight. My riding weight is 230lb, iv stuck with 22psi all round for now but with the Cush core installed thinking of going lower. Any suggestions?

    I have persevered endlessly, there’s a volume spacer in the fork now and I have the right spring rate on the rear coil shock. It was a mixture of tyre pressure and the fork having to be set too hard to get correct sag. It’s running as good or even better than my Tues DH bike. Iv since changed...

    Definitely worth trying bud, I’m running a coil shock so I have only put a spacer in the fork. Silverfish uk stock them, drop them a email or give them a call. ??

    Cushcore has been ordered now as the tyre pressure has damaged the tubeless valves I decided to get all the wheels checked over and inspected for damage. I have also considered changing the tyres as well. Been looking at the specialized butchers 3.0 rear and 2.8 front.

    I usually do this as a rule of thumb as a few years ago I damaged a brand new X2 shock by incorrectly adding air pressure. The volume spacer was added today and after a few hours of riding this afternoon it’s made no difference to the harsh ride on fire roads and uneven surfaces. After a few...

    Very grateful for the advice and I’m going to go for volume spacer option first. The bike is harsh on smooth trails, jumps and drops are fairly plush but there isn’t enough give in the first part of the stroke to give grip and comfort.

    It had the X2 as OEM, I like to ride free ride style and some trial because I can use the motor to my advantage for climbing. The first part of the stroke is super hard but coming off small drops and jumps it blows through the travel way to easy. On flat, brake bumpy flow trails the ride is way...
