so the rider sag should be a third of the total travel regardless how much sag the bike has under its own weight?
I sould measure the total travel and the sag at the shock, since I can see the travel there without having to exercising it. probly use millimeters.
would I account for the bump stop?
There is room to loosen the spring preload some without the spring becomming loose in the perches. I have not touched the preload setting as of yet. it is probly just some random amount by feel during assembly of the shock.
It explains alot about the way this bike handled with the stock shock and virtually zero sag. and perhaps why I'm so satisfied with it even if its not Ideal.
I'll try and make the recomended changes Tommorow Night as I'm taking it to Limestone again Saturday.
I have some footage of me riding/falling there with the stock shock, Ill take some more with the tuned replacement and we can compare.
I also added a bead lock to the rear tire and lowered the tire pressure to 23 psi for the trails, where the first ride it had like 35 psi to prevent tearing the stem off the tube. so that makes a big difference as well. Ill try to get the stock ride footage up on youtube tonight. and post a like here.
The difference should be obvious.
