do different model forks recommend different psi`s?im a bit confused ,ive got my recon golds at just over 100psi,im 11.5 stone and when my soul arrived the ride was a bit harsh so i decided to check the psi but it just registered 0.i subsequently read the recommended psi(85-100) and found a lot more sag in the forks and a spongier ride......bear with me......but ive just read on a post some one 10.5 stone on a giant full suss fox vanilla is at 150 psi,sorry to bore you but can anyone help?
Different forks will ride differently - try 5 PSI increments to find your optimum pressure. Are the Recons Solo Air?
yes they are
Getting full travel? Anybody fiddled with the rebound? Any oil leaks?
ive had to replace the top screw bit containing the shrader valve which sheared off at the screw,i hope i put it back on in the correct way!i am getting full travel and cant see any leaks,,do you mean the rebound on the bottom of the forks?the forks are quite reticent to spring all the way back up to full travel though...
Yes the rebound on the bottom of the damping leg - should be quick but not too quick. The air pressure should be set to allow for 25-30% sag with you in the attack position! This is a good starting point Rockshox figures are aren't so 😉
brilliant,it all seems good....thanks sv
