So here is the thing...
I have a Supreme V2 2011 and as you may no it's a very progressive linkage... i think is very similar to the morewood one.
I have a 2011 fox RC4 on it and i weight 65kg (143lb for the imperial folks).....with a correct 300lbs spring on it......but the bike feel like a 160mm
It has been told me that old RC4 with the big shaft don't work well with very light riders and progressive linkage.... they offered me to revamp my 2011 shock to a kashima 2014 rc4 with smaller shaft. volume control instead of boost valve and the new bearing for 190 euro
Or
I can simply buy a Vivid R2c 2014 (the one with those ****ing springs fighting each other) for 270 euros.... what you guys would do?
I also heard the suggestion to set the chain-stay to the shortest settings with force more weight in the back... regardless the fact that this is not a fix to be fair i never thought about it since i don't see how 1.2cm can change i weight bias in a bike where your position is not static...
p.s. sorry for my english I'm from very far away
