passed on those - too close to water?
look how young @Pearl was


so after finishing hoh, i ask one my mates what she has on her list for the summer.
She blurts out Tour of the Battenkill.....hmm. Same person won her division in the mt washington climb last year...
i feel so small.

Someone is going with me! More fun that way.

I may have to attend the ST to see this...

Addressing some rear suspension needs,

1 Enduro – just came back after rebuild

2 Downhill – got a new one and will use my old spring

3 I do not know why I got it, but it was too cheap to pass up.

Had to Set my sag due to all the talk about it

15%?

15%?

I am around 30% but I think your throwing some shade there.
Need to play with it though. I am not using all the travel i should be when i am at 30%

I just eye ball my rear at 25-30%
Any more sag... pedal strikes galore!
Front... I like it a bit on the soft side and I do this based on feel. Set it at 20% and let out air as I ride.

Seriously how often do you guys fiddle with these settings? I check the sag on the rear shock and psi in the fork maybe once every 6 months

Not often... when there is a major temperature change or if it feels off

I haven't done it since i got the bike last May and I recently changed the wheels.

Finished the build on the new (to me) frame I snagged off pinkbike. My quick and easy parts swap was derailed when I realized all cables and hoses were about 6” too short. Just finished bleeding new hoses and now just need to tie up some odds and ends.

I don't check sag very often, per se, but I do check shock/fork pressure before every ride. Air pressure changes with temperature (remember high school chemistry?). A few degrees can have a pretty big effect on the pressure in your fork or shock and thus can have a really big effect on the ride characteristics of your bike. Adds 2 or 3 minutes to my pre-ride routine.

So when you go out on a ride and it starts out 40F and 2 hrs later it's 65F, then what? ?

Looks great ?

Recabled and lubed my dropper post. Works better than ever.

that is a ~25/500 change in pressure. so 5%.

is that significant? i don't know enough about it. pretty sure i'd not notice, cause ape-on-bike.

Yep, insignificant - no one will notice.

I service my suspension more frequently than this .
