Can you explain what a wallowy rear end feels likeWhen adjusting compression I'm not thinking about pedaling, rather a balance between plushness and wallow resistance.

X= Using more travel than necessary on an impact so successive impacts are taken when the suspension is already deep in the travel. This makes those secondary hits harsher and gives the impression that you need to speed up the rebound cuz you're "packing".Can you explain what a wallowy rear end feels likerofl
? Less compression = more plushness, but you risk using too much travel and X happens.
I don't like using more than 30% sag in the rear regardless of how steep it is but I'll slow the rear beginning rebound a click and soften the compression a click to keep from getting kicked forward. I have a taller front end than most riders and I like a linear fork that doesn't run much sag. I add a click or two more compression in front when riding really steep stuff.Question w/ respect to the post you responded to:
Wouldn't it be better to sag out the a55-end of the bike (and stiffen the front end) more for the steeps?
thankfully you dont need a new lower box link like some of us did.After seeing that and the DHR picture I am happier with my M9
ouch...that's not good.Landed hard off a drop this weekend and ended up off the trail in the weeds. When I picked my bike up it looked like this and the suspension was locked out. I had to unbolt the swing link and reposition it to get the suspension to work again.
Has anyone else seen this?
yeah, it was a screw that was on the swingarm. you needed to take it off to extend the link/swingarm to get the shock on/offI remember when the original V10's had a top out bumper to prevent this from happening.
This.It looks like the shock rebounded out too far?
Why did you need that?thankfully you dont need a new lower box link like some of us did.
early models werent machined right and didnt allow the bolts to fully bottom out causing them to come loose and creak. the set screw also damaged the aluminum bolts in the process.Why did you need that?
Nope. Shock if fine. I rode it one more run that day and a bunch yesterday. If it had over extended it would have pulled apart and been puking oil.This.
That could only happen if your shock hyper extended; you may want to look into shock damage...
you can replicate what happened by unbolting the shock and pulling the swingarm up like in the pic. you can probably see what caused this to happen when you replicate it.Nope. Shock if fine. I rode it one more run that day and a bunch yesterday. If it had over extended it would have pulled apart and been puking oil.
I checked the BB area for damage and there's no marks there either.
Could the seat tube area have flexed enough to allow that link to swing backwards? It wouldn't go back to its original position without unbolting the link. I checked the sock mounts and all the pivots for slop and nothing.
where can i find said pictureAfter seeing that and the DHR picture I am happier with my M9
I think he's talking about this...where can i find said picture
is that like dividing by zero?VPP suspension operates dangerously close to a singularity point.
I thought they said CB swingarms where not needed?i guess it did make sense to go with a carbon swingarm

It's a conspiracy man! You have to have something new to come out with every two years or you will disrupt the e-space-time-continuum. Don't you know this?!I thought they said CB swingarms where not needed?![]()
