So my bike is finally all built up and ready to rip, now to tune the fork and shock...
The bike is a new Intense Socom with a 2009 Fox 40 and a Fox DHX 5.0 out back. I'm basically an ex-BMXer (Trail/Street) and will be using this rig as my all-around FR/DH ripper. I'll be hitting some pretty decently sized stuff/lines while being pretty smooth at the same time, most of my riding will be at Mountain Creek and Platekill here in the NY area. I'm about 175 in just shorts and no equipment on.
Can anyone recommend any initial setting?
Psi, Preload, sag, high & low speed compression, propedal...
Could someone please clarify the high & low speed compression, ie what I should look for, how they differ, how they change the way the fork reacts, etc.
Any and all recommendations as far as suspension tuning are greatly appreciated
