Have an RP23. Sag at 25%
Currently don't use pro pedal, feels good on descents, a little bit wallowy on general trails/ up hill.
If I were to use pro pedal 2 all the time (set and forget) what would change ? (good and bad)
Anyone doing what I've suggested? Thoughts please.
Thanks

Orange 5?
Yep, it's an orange five.
depending on the tune of your RP23, try running more sag and more PP. I run 35%ish sag and PP set to 3 - performs much better than fully off with less sag IMHO.
This is on an Orange Blood.
On a single pivot such as the 5, I would leave it off for everything apart from the longer climbs.
It's an XV can (not xxv) with 225 velocity, med Rebound, med comPression tune
(if that helps the techy guys)
Cheers
LOL On an orange five I think I used it on 3 all the time except for fast descents. Then changed the bike.

Pedal masher by any chance?
same tune as mine - how heavy are you? Might be worthing swapping to a smaller air can or getting some of the Fox air volume reducers if you're a big unit. Mine's a 2011 BV which came with the XV can, swapped it for a standard can and made it much better - I'm 15 stone.
Mine's a single pivot but has a rocker link for comparison
I've forgotten what its like to ride a bike that has suspension that doesnt work for anything other than going down hill ๐
I run around 25% sag and only ever use pro-pedal in position 1 for fireroad climbs on my 5 and then only when I remember, even with that little amount of PP it feels a lot harsher on descents when I forget to turn it off, am heavier than you and the bike doesn't feel wallowy when climbing to me.
On an RP2 i run it on 20% sag with pro pedal off. I just turn it on for climbs and road. But then i've set the pro pedal to almost lock the shock.
only in the text of the for sale ad ๐When would you use Pro Pedal 2 ?
