I have an Ellsworth Id (4 bar w/ Romic shock). I also have a DC Sherman Slider. 6" front and rear. I have the compression and rebound dampening setup kind of slow. By doing so I am able to keep my take-offs and landings from jumps and drops very straight and controlled.
However, with the slower suspension the ride is not at all plush. I tested a riding- buddy's DH bike (single pivot rear with 7.5" travel) and the difference was astonishing. It was so incredibly plush, it seemed to float over any bump or hit.
Not that I expect my bike to perform like a full on DH rig with 25% more travel, but am I missing something? Is there a way setup my suspension to have more plushness yet still have solid feel?
Thanks,
John
