I have had the toughest time dialing in my rear shock on my Preston FR. It is a Manitou Swinger 4Way and no matter what I have done, it still bottoms out too easily. I know about the high leverage ratio of the bike but in every review one of the most raved about things was that the rear suspension felt bottomless, despite the short stroke and shock length. I can't ride down a rooty trail without hearing the awful sound of bottoming out. I've switched to a higher rate spring, increased the air pressure with a pump and increased the air pressure with the adjustment knob on the shock.
So if you ride a 2006 Preston with a 4Way Swinger in the rear, please let me know how you have your shock set up - please include your weight, the air pressure of the shock, the spring rate you run, and any other information you think may be helpful.
Thanks
