alright, yeah thats the kind of info I'm lookin for. I kinda already get that you want to use the travel of the suspension for softest ride without bottoming out, and rebound has to be at least as fast as the obstacles are spaced.
I believe that your bike should eat woops for a small snack,Jazg. My 500 loves em. I would think that you would want to be set-up pretty soft with a fairly fast rebound, as woops are usually very closely spaced. Going for stability and straight tracking.
Along these lines, how do you balance front forks to rear shock? How do you make sure that front forks are set exactly the same to each other?
We use tire pressure frequently. Loose and dry = reduce air to below 10psi in rear, wet and serious traction might have people putting in over 20psi. This is mostly a traction deal. Probably don't want anything less than 12psi on normal riding unless its all sand or snow.
What happens when you have mixed conditions? Say rocky, woops and jumps with hard landings. Keep in mind, I don't get practice rides to tweek things into perfection. I need generalizations, if thats even a word.
