I'm a 217lbs. "novice" riding western desert ( D-37 ) with this bike and will doing some GP's as well.
I set rear sag on the bike and was able to get the back dialed pretty well but the front....
At speed straight line is "okay", pushing/tucking the front a little bit in turns and under braking.... it's not great but I can live with that for now....What's killing me is "low speed" like on technical descents...the front dives BIGTIME anytime you touch the front brake...I'm talking 3 or 4 inches and it rebounds just as fast if the brake is released...it's like pogo stick! This is not a good thing with your Butt hanging over the rear fender trying to pick your way down through the bolders!;)
I'll get the fork "done" at some point I just wondered if there was something "setup" wise I could do to help out until then....
Spring preload? different oil? oil level? :eek:
