Hmm, I'm running around 190 at the moment. Today's afan trip tells me I can get away with a little less which seems to go along with splodges advice. I started to get a good feel for the bike today and although it'll take a little getting used to, I think I've made a very wise choice.
I understand that the rp23 comes with the dcg mod as standard on the 2011 models and I don't believe it's a HV can.
I'll give it some time and then think about a coil.
Still can't get this fork right though. I never usually suffer arm pump but did today even running the fork well below the recommended pressure. I ended up at 60lbs with zero comp damp. I'm a bit pissed off with it tbh.
Think I'll drop mojo a line. The bikes filthy right now so I'll get some pics put up as soon as I can.
I have a week in the gower coming up

[NorthCountryBoy how much do you weigh?]
one of my biggest complaints about the rp23, was that with the correct sag the shock would blow through its travel. dgc mod helped but it still wasn't great.
I weigh 80 kg (12 stone) never had a problem with the RP 23 running as low as 160 psi useing all the travel, not affraid to let it hit the internal bump stop! Never feels harsh or bottomed out. Run some big ol tyres fairly soft too, that probably helps a bit.
