^ you should have gotten a Ribbon Coil.

Shake-down ride on new air spring in the Stage. This bike way moar fun than it should be, and I like the Magic Mary way moar than I should.

Tonight's ride.
Dusky and sublime.

I’m having a hard time figuring it out. I have 2 spacers, running about 45-50psi, and 6 clicks in from open of LSC.

No harsh bottom out, but I find it’s a bit dive-y. I’m way over the front end more than I’m used to.

I’ve not installed the debonair yet. Soon.

Maybe we should open a Pike tuning thread...

I have almost 100psi in mine. Which is sitting at 150mm travel. I leave the fork in the open position for all but the gravel roadie climbs.

Do volume spacers let you run a little less air pressure, while maintaining the same bottom out resistance?

 

[canadmos]

New bike?

 

[Dirtrider]

New bike?

Yep. Got it a few months ago. I actually just swapped the crappy Monarch out with a CC Air IL. Trying to get that dialed.

Hightower?

 

[Dirtrider]

Hightower?

Yep. Really liking it so far. My other ride is a 26” Knolly Endorphin. While that bike is easier to get off the ground, the Hightower just monster trucks over shit a lot better. And at 6’4” it’s more comfortable all around size wise

I’m sure there are other threads out there which cover it.

But, as I understand it, for an equal psi, more spacers add bottom out resistance.

Moar volume spacers, a bit more pressure and less LSC. I run one or two clicks from open most of the time. The HSC shim stack is notoriously over shimmed (too many shimz? how can it be?) so it feels rough in chatter and then you lower the PSI too much and it dives.

The Charger 2 should fix the LSC issue.

It makes it moar "progressive" so you can have a small bump compliance then ramp up for big hits to keep you from bottoming or constantly finding yourself too deep in the travel.

Trail 302 Priest Lake, ID

Caribbean air over New England.

 

[junkyard]

From my loop that i do all the time because its the best.

 

[canadmos]

This is the precise moment when someone cartwheeled and lost their glasses.

We found them and crushed the remaining hero dirt. My God, the rain hit hard here (thank fuck!).

And then a swim in a warm swim hole to cap the night off. Glorious.

 

[6thElement]

DH with wifey today.

 

[Serial Midget]

Ima waiting for the other riders to show. It looks like rain. I've done a 3 mile warm up to see if I have the legs for keeping up.

Waiting...

Really humid and intermittently raining today. The little P&S was not too happy.

Hippy day @ Thunder Mtn. on Monday if any NE folks are out and about!

Wicked humid and a bit slippery ride today. We also worked on this fallen tree - if I won't do it, no one will.

[jstuhlman]

so that’s what happened to your wheel...

 

[StiHacka]

Someone needs to get his balls and his access rights taken away. The original line - a quite technical climb with roots and rawks - on the left. New pussy line on the right. Da fuq.

 

[rideit]

Reverse that shit, STAT

Little bit of drizzle, but not cold. Mostly just humid.

So how was Greek Peak without a rear brake?

Rotor focus.

Just a good ole DH race today. Perfect weather. First one is of me, but that was just out of the holeshot, photographer hadn't walked down the course far enough yet. 2nd pick is about halfway down the course. This race is my favorite collection of trails here though, just a damn good mix from mid-mountain.

You seem to be missing the lever atleast...

Looks different with no snow
