help me.

put 300lbs in the thing, sat on it and measured the sag, 27%.
bloke at mojo said i should run it with propedal on, on setting 2.
so what turns propedal on and how do i put it in setting 2.

turn the boss drive release a quarter of a turn, hold the red leaver a fraction to the right then extend the blue lever to the left whilst squinting?

nutt, you WILL die where you sleep….. 😈

pull the central blue dial out and twist into number 2 position, turn propedal dial on – ride! How hard can it be

I almost can’t bring myself to say it but..

….read the (expletive obviously deleted) manual ?

Setting ProPedal RP2 and RP23

On the RP23, you have three levels of platform that you can choose from. You can gauge which platform level is best for you by using the following recommendations. Remember, the open mode (shown above) is identical regardless of which platform setting you choose as you are only changing the close mode:

Platform #1 – You ride a lot of rolling terrain that is fairly rough that doesn’t give you time to switch modes or you spend a lot of time on flatter, mildly rough single-track. This allows for more efficiency than the open mode but with good bump compliance. Riding in the #1 setting reduces the need to flip from open to close on rougher terrain.

Platform #2 – Our favorite setting for terrain that has more extended climbing and with longer descending which gives time to switch modes. The close mode also works well on flat, flowy single track that’s not very rough. In the close mode, it offers just enough bump absorption with outstanding efficiency.

Platform #3 – This setting is for optimum efficiency on a long, smoother climb and for fire road riding. It’s slightly firmer than #2 and is intended to be used as an on and off mode.

About ProPedal
The Fox Float RP2 and RP23 both utilize a very sophisticated valve system that is highly tuned. Both shocks have an open and closed mode. The closed mode is tuned to allow use in real-world off road conditions, offering efficiency with some bump compliance. The close mode allows for a firm feeling rear suspension that still maintains traction and stability, and with some level of bump compliance. In the open mode it’s all about suspension performance and making the bumps disappear.

Smiles seem to working again 🙂

like this.

There’s a roundish gnurled dial (with 1, 2, 3 on it) sat on a blue lever.
Gently pull the dial up and turn it ’til the ‘2’ is lined up with the lever.
Flick the lever to the left (as you look at it)

You may need to gently ‘twiddle’ the dial ’til it clicks back down into position.

boys, i love you all.

ta much.

what is the red dial behind for then.

DON’T FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TURN THAT!!!

make sure you lock your doors and windows tonight nutt… 😈

😉

Red dial – as craig david sang…
“can I get a reee-bound……”

DrP

hmm just got up to find my spare room window ajar and my bicycle hat smells kinda acrid?!? anyone know anything about this??

Ton, Red dial is REBOUND adjustment. As a big bloke you won’t need much rebound damping as your weight stops the shock moving too fast. So start off by turning it all the way to fast/minimum damping (Anticlockwise IIRC) If, when riding, the shock feels harsh, add one click at a time until it smooths out. If it feels wallowy you’ve gone too far, take a click off.

Hope that helps
🙂

Soggy shoes as well? 😆

Ah what a great STW thread. I now feel I’m ready to start my day.

Ton – I’ve got a spare manual on disk you can have, if you can’t be arsed to look on Fox’s website?

boys, i love you one and all….. 😀

**** long ride back from swindon this morning… 😉
