So I have posted on here before, a few months back, about an issue which ended up being the tire rubbing the back of my seat. I run a dhx rc4 and a vivid air r2c and frankly I think I like the vivid better and here is why which is also a question. I was riding the trail I have ridden countless times, nothing new but maybe going a little harder/faster than usual but even then the bike should not have an issue with this trail. I had changed back to the rc4 and hit a step down, maybe 6 ft total drop to a smooth transition and I heard and felt something go wrong. After inspection my rear derailuer was snapped in half AND my shock had somehow scrapped a gouge into the rear wheel carbon fender (pics to come). Certainly did not get hung up on a rock to break the rear derailluer because this is an all dirt trail freeride and flowy. While that sucks I am much more concerned about the shock and somehow damaging the fender. The shock was firmly installed the bolts holding front and rear had not come loose. Any thoughts?
Also should the bottom out control be all the way on the minus or plus for the evils suspension setup? I am 150lbs and have a 400# to spring and don't think I am bottoming out but it feels like it may be a bit harsh in the end stroke. As for the top of the spring, the preload screw, how tight should that be? Any helps/thoughts/inputs appreciated. Thanks guys!
