Revalved Marzocchi Shiver 45 for plushness.
Revalved my forks for the FSE. What I wanted was plush, plush, plush.
Stock base valve is: 22x10 22x10 11x10 19x15 11x10 17x15 15x15 13x20 My new setup is kinda radical, and is a little bit resaearch and a larger bit guessing. 22x10 19x15 17x15 15x15 This setup worked pretty good. It was now much better for rocky trails. Some bottoming occured in larger whoops at high speed, but I can live with that. The first test felt really awful, bike was unstable on small rocks and roots, felt like a flat tire. Which it was. Now with the flat fixed the bike handles fine. On an enduro yesterday on a very rocky trail I managed to climb to the middle of the scoreboard and actually finish the race, as opposed to my normal retired bottom position. A lot of riders struggled hard with the terrain, as I danced the bike around. It was no problem to just go head on and over soccer ball size boulders. I am currently running 110 mm of 7.5wt fork oil and I might try a 120 or 130 level, just to get that trials fork feel to it. Any comments from you suspension experts on my new stack? What have I done exactly? Last edited by bergerhag; 08-19-2007 at 02:50 PM. |
