OK So I got the F1 ready to rock and have ridden it several times now, the bike is GREAT.
I noticed that on stairs it packs up and rides hard. I adjusted the compression but?
Here is the problem:
If I jump up and land on the seat the bike squats, raises then squats again in a down-up-down motion (like bouncing but one time). I adjust the rebound all the way to get rid of the bounce and it seems to pack up.
I have a 550 ti spring on it and I can preload but I have to have the rebound clicked all the way to keep it from doing its 1 bounce. I have dialed all my other rides in and this is the first time I have dealt with this. My sag is roughly 30% - 35%
Bike: Canfield f1 large
Shock: avalanche DHS with hi/lo comp and rebound
Spring: RCS 550ti
Is it possible it has too little nitrogen for it to work effectively?
Is it a compression issue, maybe not enough?
Maybe it has too little rebound valving?
I'll give a ride report of the 888wc and the f1 later in the week with pics. I hit a few jumps today as well as some drops, one in the range of 7' to almost flat and this bike rocks so far.
