Re: Suspension

Hey cb - question on this older thread : when you said you had them set "all the way up", do you mean at the most stiff setting, where the shock is compressed the most? I am assuming so, because of they way you described it.

I ask because I was actually thinking of tightening mine a bit (they are on 3 now) because I am concerned that the bike may be bottoming out on bigger bumps. However, I am only 142 lbs, and the bike only has 14K miles. So I am wondering - how far should the bike settle when a person sits on it? And is it possible I need to actually set mine to a less tight setting instead?

I guess, like someone else posted, the best thing to do is just bring a big screwdriver with me, adjust it some different ways, and see how it feels.
