Hey all,
On the front I’m leaning towards a 2 part 200mm and on the rear I have a choice between either a 2 part 200mm rotor or a 1 piece 220.
My main concern is cooling since I tend to use the brakes too much, causing glazing and squealing
Which would stay cool better? A 200 2 piece or a...
I like it, but I’m no expert.
It rides really well. I switched the bottom bracket back to the high position and prefer that. I’m still messing with the suspension. I swapped from 3 to 1 volume spacer on the fork if I recall correctly, and am still playing around with the clickers. I got the...
So my 2022/2023 Levo Comp Carbon came with a Fox 36 Rhythm fork. I’m selling it, and someone mentioned it’s a pre-2020 fork. Is that true? Did my bike come with an older fork?
I’m not going to dignify this with a response. Communicate more clearly if you want specific info.
This thread is getting a little too rude for me. Good luck with your suspension folks
Good luck! Seems like a good plan. My only suggestion would be to think about all aspects of bike performance, not just the number of turns. Like full use of travel, balance, turning, etc. I use sag as a starting point but usually play with it to change the feel. On a dirt bike sometimes I’ll...
I’m not saying more preload is good. But I would personally not feel comfortable disregarding the rockshox minimum of two rotations of preload. Now if we apply the Ohlins rule of max two, we’ve combined to create a rule called “don’t adjust preload” which I find makes no sense. A little preload...
I’m not going to respond piece by piece to this but for anyone reading his replies, there are some factual errors in here, so I recommend fact checking before regurgitating this info.
+1 to the cascade link. It makes sense to me as it makes the linkage more progressive. The original linkage was designed for an air shock, which has more natural progression so needs less from the linkage.
I actually don’t think he has a very good take on preload/spring rate/sag.
It’s almost like he’s recommending to pick whatever spring lets you run almost no preload. First problem with this is he’s suggesting to run less than what the rockshox manual specifies. I wouldn’t really advise...
I set mine to 3 turns and was at 20%, 2 turns between 20-25%, but that was 3 turns off the bike. I think I probably should have set the turns with the shock on the bike. So I’m probably running too much preload, and probably do have the right spring. I’m pretty happy with the TFTuned calculator
The tftuned calculator gave me a spring rate of 328 (yes I’m light) using the 28% sag setting. I did 350 since that’s as low as I saw from MRP. It works fine for me.
I’m currently running maybe 25% or a tiny bit less. I might increase the sag but it still feels fine as is
Rebounds feels fine to me and I could make it faster if I felt like it. I’m not fast though. Are you getting the RS? Just try it stock if you’re getting it and see if it’s good
