This has been nagging me for a while, recently got back from Spain where I had the opportunity to take a day off to go riding in the Sierra Nevada area

Had a rental Spesh Enduro, didn’t really look to see the set up on the rear .. strangely enough on the climbs I didn’t feel that much bob. However there were a couple of slow technical occasions where I felt I was being ‘bucked’ I am quite sure I had my weight planted firmly through the COG..

I’ve ridden in Whistler on a Giant Glory but didn’t experience this
1) is the linkage system
2) soft set up
3) technique

anyone have any thoughts

bucked – rebound too fast

not enough rebound surely

thanks guys

Pedal feedback? What’s the chain growth like on an Enduro?

not enough rebound surely

or

bucked – rebound too fast

Now I’m confused, can see reasons for both but I would have gone with rebound too fast.

^ as above. Would have initially thought too fast.

same thing seavers – not enough rebound (damping) means that rebound is too fast

Well that makes more sense now.

Thank you.

My head hurts. It’s been a long day! So rebound is too fast if you don’t dial in enough rebound dampening?

Yes, less rebound damping = fast
More rebound damping = slower

Got it.

Not enough rebound damping will do that. The spring element of the shock is rebounding too quickly giving you a bucking sensation. More rebound damping slows down how fast the shock can extend to it’s original length.

That is how I understood it.

But

plyphon – Member not enough rebound surely

Threw me off and hence brain freeze.

I see now he means dampening

I’m better off just reading the cute beaver thread! 😕
