having come over from a turner flux which i view as one of the very finest full-sus xc frames out there (climbs like a mountain goat and is rock solid under pedalling), i am noticing much more suspension movement under pedalling on the asr.

i have the shock inflated to the right psi for my weight and the pro-pedal switched on to 2... am i doing something wrong?

Is your tyre pressure too high in the rear?

Why have you changed if you already had a good bike?

sometimes you don't know how good a bike is until you have sold it.

anyways... always wanted a yeti and fancied a bit more travel at the back.. almost went for a 5-spot, but thought i would scratch the yeti itch first... have a bit of an ibis itch too which will need scratching at some point.

It's (effectively) a single pivot, you're coming from a dw link. What did you expect?

what size and colour is the asr5?

I will look after it for you to stop the bobbing from bother you.

Should have got a 66.
I always liked the look of Yeti's, just not the single pivot.
Glad I waited until they came out with a proper design.

don't get me wrong, the asr5 is an epic steed... i just never really acknowledged how absolutely amazing the turner flux was (aside from skinning my ankle on the fatter-than-fat chainstay)
