(excuse crappy cell phone pics)
I've been collecting parts and building this up over the winter. I just finished putting it together last night after getting the frame back from being stripped and re-coated. (I bought the frame used and it was really beat.) Aside from trimming my brake lines, tuning the suspension and general tweaking its finally ready to go.
The frame is an '08 medium with a DHX5. I bought an RC4 but found after the fact that the reservoir was too large and it didn't fit. I haven't had any runs on the bike yet but I do believe there is something wrong with the DHX, it feels dead and the rebound is too slow even when wide open. I like the shock and fork more quick and 'lively' but I cannot get the rear to feel the way I'd like.
I'm about 200# ready to ride. I have a 450# spring on the shock, ProPedal off, about 150# psi and the BO chamber full open. Any setup recommendations for this frame/shock are welcomed.
