[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 69213, member: 20652"] The rear wheel can bounce because either the rebound or compression is too soft. The rebound controls how quickly the wheel returns to the ground. The softer it is set, the faster it will return. A too soft setting can cause the rear wheel to kick the rear end up on jumps. The compression setting controls how fast the suspension collapses. If the compression is set soft, the rear wheel will move up quicker. As it is moving up it is compressing the spring and building up energy for the return trip. The farther the spring compresses (soft compression will allow it to compress further) the faster the rear wheel will return to the ground (which is compounded by a soft rebound setting). The combination of soft rebound (fast return of the wheel to the ground) and soft compression (fast upward movement of the wheel) can cause the wheel to bounce. First set your rebound and compression to stock settings. Play with the compression first by adjusting it soft and then hard 1 to 2 clicks at a time. After each adjustment, ride the bike and observe the results. Adjust it past the point where it feels good and then move it back so you know you have optimized it. Do the same with the rebound and then repeat the process with the compression (changes in the rebound can affect the compression). Also, make sure the sag is set correctly before you adjust anything. I hope this helps. Good luck ------------------ Did I do the double? Ah,um...Sure did. I was right behind you! [url="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1500744"]My Pictures[/url] [/QUOTE]
