Rebound clickers on shock

Unit74 · Sep 23, 2002

If the ass end is kicking up abit and is swapping the rear tire left and right. Do I need to turn the clicker in the + or - direction. I always thought it was + to slow the rebound dampening and - to speed it up, but at this weekends race, I adjusted it more + and it still felt like it was kicking. Turn it more or am I going the wrong direction?

clockwise to add dampening and slow it down

counter clock to remove dampening and speed it up

yes try decreasing the rebound as it is getting lower each bump and has no travel left to smooth the bumps.

Marcus, I understand what you said.....now, how do I tell if it is kicking from your post, or kicking because it is rebounding too fast....or does my way even happen?

I am not trying to sound like a wise ass. This was going on with my bike this weekend. I thought about both possible causes......and did nothing!

Kicking straight up tends to be too fast rebound-swapping side to side tends to be too slow.Watch Rc ride and he sometimes swappes but he pulls through by holding it wide open.He has a very slow rebound.

As long as you make a note of all clicker settings to start with ,its a good idea to get a feel for incorrect settings-it makes it easier to judge whats wrong.

If you make the rebound too slow it will pack and dance around.

Will these characteristics work on the forks also?

Somewhat : with too much rebound on front the wheel may not follow the ground or may seem to pull the bars downward when going into a hole or dip . Just wont react fast enough to get ready for the next bump.

Thanks. That helps me understand characteristics much better.
