Mynamesnotbob how much does your shock Bob when climbing?i have set sag correct but on bigger climbs mine seems to sit about half way into the travel,
have you adjusted any of the compresion/rebound to combat this,I’m still trying to get mine dialled think i basically went with the stock setting from the book but still doesn’t feel quite right
Yep, it’s far to say the shock moves around in it’s travel compared to the DBinline. I remember setting it up initially for sag and it was near impossible to get it spot on, as breathing in or out would make it it move around it seemed.
However I didn’t notice that as too much in the way of bob.I’ve got it on an HD3, which is Progressive to sag, then slightly regressive blending off towards the end of travel. So setting up for sag it seemed to move about a lot, but when out riding once past the sag point no it didn’t move about too much. However I do have the compression and rebound turned up quite high anyway, as that how I like it, general riding is softer spring and harder damping so my natural setup go to may have overcome any bobbing. I then have the high speed circuit running less compression and rebound for the big drops as I’m a wuss. I am also running 4 tokens, so I can get more movement without blowing through travel. Fork is set much the same.
I personally ignore how much it actually moves, if it’s within the travel. If it’s bottoming out you need more tokens or air, if you are wasting energy in the shock making the climb harder then again you will need more compression and a touch more air maybe.
But I found that I would fly up a climb (well for me), with great grip and not wasting energy in the shock. If it felt this way, and also takes the drops then it’s fine; Going on feel after initial setup works far better for me, and I don’t even think about it now, it just seems to let the bike do it’s stuff. Measuring travel seemed a waste of time when I was setting it up as it was misleading. Well thats for me anyway
