The pitch never bottoms out, but I never turn pro pedal off either though.
continuity - MemberI go for a normal trail ride, and I come back and the o ring is as far as it can possibly go. No drop offs, just rolling singletrack.
From what you have written it sounds as though you have an issue with the shock or it hs not been set up correctly.
Have you followed the following guide from trek for setting it up?
for your forks you should be able to get setup guides fromt he Fox website.
29.4lbs on the scales - which weirdly is more than most people's stock remedy's (maybe they're quoting without pedals?)It feels kinda wallowy and sluggish (not very nimble and chuckable) on the trails, and heavy when I'm pumping it up a hill compared to friends bikes. Bottoming out a lot on small stuff and using loads of travel when I feel like I should be just bobbing along at the top.
Wonder if a 50mm stem would help it feel a bit more nimble through singletrack?
That sounds like a baggy shock. When I get the same feeling on my 5 (and I ride the Surrey Hills mostly), it means it's time to top up the rear shock with a bit more air. You may also want to consider your pedalling style (do you push squares, rather than spin circles?). If you are sitting down and pedalling slowly through rough stuff, you will also get a bit seasick, although from what you're saying, you don't seem to be doing that.
A couple of pound here and there should not really be terribly noticeable - it only makes a difference over an all-day ride for most people. HTH.
i've set my remedy up both using the sag meter and for comparison according to Trek's web site
only a few psi in it either way, and both felt fine. The DRCV does take a little more effort to set up right, but once done it does feel absolutley great (I think it's one of the best things Trek have going for them at the moment)
if it feels anything but great, i'd take it to a trek dealer for a second opinion
As the captain says, once set up the DRCV is great, never have to touch mine.
