30/30 (down to 60psi on the fork!) with rebound a few clicks from fully open was much better but still not quite there. Still have around 10mm of travel not being used so 35/35 is next.
I definitely have the death grip and working on loosening that up as well as using my legs to absorb bumps...
I figured the coil fork is as easy as it gets. Soft spring for my weight, adjust preload for sag and ride. Reviews say coil is better than air for small bump compliance but air is better for jumps. I ride mainly rooty, chunky trails and little jumps. Not aggressive at all. Higher end air forks...
ok I will try 30/30 today. At 108psi there was barely any sag. I had to drop to 65psi to get 30%. Another question, fork says 160mm travel, but when I lift the bike and extend the fork the measurement is 150mm from top of lower leg to spot to top of upper. Should I be calculating 30% of 160 or...
Ok went on a ride today. Here was the setup:
Fork - 20% sag, rebound fully open
Shock - 30% sag, rebound fully open
Tires 18psi (tubeless setup)
Did the lift and drop test and the bike bounced back. With the rebound closed it dropped like a sack of potatoes and stayed there.
Still got bucked...
I googled mtb tire pressure calculator and ended up at the sram site. It recommended 27psi rear, 22.9 front. I’ll try that and see how it goes.
Typo on OP. I weigh 142lbs geared up.
someone on Reddit same weight as us upgraded the Silver to the Zeb ultimate charger 3 160mm and said it’s great. I’m going to attempt to run lower psi and if it doesn’t work prob pick up a Zeb.
I bought a shock pump and I went to the Rockshox website and adjusted it to the recommending settings. I’ve got 30% sag on the shock. Not sure about the fork since there’s no rubber ring or markings on it.
New to mtb. Picked up a ‘23 levo carbon s2 in April. Only changes are bars trimmed to 760mm, GX AXS and Ergon grips. Geared up I’m approx 152lbs. On small jumps the Rockshox suspension feels nice, have not bottomed out ever but when going over small bumps and chunky stuff I feel like I’m...
I wanted to be able to test ride the bike I was going to buy.. it came down to giant and specialized. Trek was is the running but my LBS refused to build the bike for me to ride without buying it first. I liked the turbo levo the best and it was the cheapest
5’2” woman here.. I’ve got a mullet turbo Levo size small. The dropper post is a must have. You can’t touch the ground with it extended but you get max pedal stroke. When coming to a stop, drop the seat and you can easily touch the ground. Once you get going pop the seat back up and ride. The...
