HSUN, SUNL, MDL etc. 200GY guys, question on rear suspension
All you guys that have that same *type* of bike as Waldo, I was looking at the rear suspension setup and wondering what that third hole is for...
Are these bikes adjustable for height? Seer

even
Even though im new i inspected my mono shock no adjustment, you have to get a third party replacement guessing 150.00 if you have them do it about 75.00 if you just get a great shock.

Hmmm, well mine has a multi position adjustment nut built into the shock. So there's another slight difference between the hamna and sunl i guess.

I had a chance to take my rear suspension apart the other night to grease some pivot points. While apart i adjusted the preload on the spring all the way out hoping to get my seat height just a touch lower. I did not accomplish much with the height adjustment, maybe an inch ( forget to measure before i started) BUT the ride quality has improved greatly! I would suggest this adjustment to anyone who has this bike. Adjustment may be accomplished with just a spanner wrench but the whole shock can be removed without any other disassembling of the bike.

Bug, yeah, adjusting that shock made nearly zip height diff to me too, however, as you note, made a BIG diff in ride quality. The Hsun variants are a neat bike for the money seer

I was wrong
To all, foot in mouth mine has a lower adjustment, looks like only an inch or 5 threads can be gained. I am excited this can be loosened, bet it really helps ride. apologies jumped to quick :oops:

I think my Hi Bird has the same thing. I looked carefully and could not determine a way to lower the overall height.
If you guys come up with a shock that will work to lower the seat, let us know! |
