A 'just wondering' question really.

Based on your experience with FS bikes, have you found that some suspension designs (i.e. Horst link 4 bar, DW link etc) are far more sensitive to small adjustments in rebound damping than others? If you have found this, what was the most susceptible design?

TIA

er...maybe I should have titled this thread 'rear suspension design question'?!

Anyone have any thoughts regarding the original question?

FWIW, IME 'true four bar' suspension designs (Horst link) are some of the most sensitive to rebound speed, i.e. prone to being very draggy/energy sapping on climbs if rebound is one click either side of its preferred position.
