[#9319721]

I have a new shock coming for my Stumpy 650b, which is a RS Monarch Plus RC3.
I'm a 'larger' person, so appreciate i'll most likely need to stuff in some reducers (as i had to, on the standard Fox Float) but wondered how many?

I know i could add and subtract to find out myself, but if there are any other biffa's on here, who are running this sort of combo, i thought they might be able to advise.

Plan right now is to run it as standard for a ride, then put some bands in and see what's different.

I'm not a biffa, but on my 29er stumpy I had to put the max of 6 in otherwise it would blow through its travel as the compression tune was pretty light

@trusty.....
Good to know. Thanks.
Was your Monarch a - Mid/Mid - tune as standard then? (thats what i've got coming)

I could get it valved properly, by someone who knows... but was trying to save a little cash and get the right base tune as it comes.

I think the one for the 29er had a low compression tune, I can't remember now
