Did you have to change your spring mate? If so what did you go to and whats your weight. I have mine apart to grease all the linkage and swing arm bearings so i think i may go up on the spring as i weigh 205pounds while its apart. What are your thoughts?

Funny you should ask, I have .46/5.6 combo on the way. I'm 176 naked, 205 ready to race, no tools, just water pack. (gear adds up!) Top 3 BSSR rider. I never bottom the bike hard, but I do use all the travel in the bigger bumps. Sounds stiffer than I would normally try, but I'm going to trust our buddy Steve here and give it a go. Light preload on both ends and drop the oil in the fork outer a little.

12mm is too much preload and ruins the ride. If you need that much to make the bike turn you are either to soft on rate or too stiff on the fork. True, your valving is likely wrong, but preload will always aggrevate kick and tracking on the GG rear suspension.

I'm 200 and I have 5.6 on the shock and 0.46 on the bars. No more than 5mm preload on the shock and 5mm on the front. To be quite honest I never measured the SAG but the rear works quite well for the moment. Had to adjust the rebound 2 or 3 times but now I find it quite good . Amazing traction !
