Matt the Pilot

I was setting up my suspension that Sport Rider magazine recommends as a starting point. However, for the rear compression damping setting there is a "slow-speed" and "high-speed" setting. A north run has turns of all different kinds of speeds. Should I just split the difference? I figure the two different settings are for tracks with a lot of slower speed corners and then you've got the setup for the tracks with more high speed corners.

I think I will just split the difference and go from there. What do you think?

Here's what mine's set at now:
Front Preload = 8.5 turns out from full stiff
Front Rebound Damping = 1 turn out from full stiff
Front Compression Damping = 1.75 turns out from full stiff
Rear Preload = 14mm threads showing from top of threads to top of spring
Rear Rebound Damping = 1 out from full stiff
Rear Compression Damping = A hair over 2.25 turns out from full stiff

The rear compression damping is what has the slow/high speed setting. Slow speed being 1.75 out from full stiff, high speed being 3 out from full stiff.

I may be wrong, but i believe that high speed and low speed have to do with how fast the piston in the shock moves.

Yeah but why of all the other settings do they give me a high/low setting.

Nevermind. I'm a douche. I figured it out.

so how different does it feel? noticeable or no?

Matt the Pilot

I didn't notice any difference. I'll start tinkering with it more after I get the set of pilot powers on it.
