I’ve been riding with some similar setting on my FullSus for about 12 months now. However I noticed that when rolling through a section following friends I would lose speed compared to them.
It was suggested I needed to make some changes, so more (air)spring was added and compression taken off to compensate for the increased spring rate.
However, while this feels faster in various sections, I’m finding the bike now is understeering – i.e. on tracks I know really well the bike isn’t as responsive in tight corners and feels a lot slower. Also, I’ve noticed the bike through rock gardens is “pinging” off stuff more, leading to a few brown trouser/near miss moments.
I think this is due to the bike staying higher in the travel but wanted to see if any suspension guru’s out there might have thoughts on this.
I’m not sure whether to drop the spring rate slightly, add/remove compression damping or add/remove some rebound.
