maggdog Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Need some advice with a shocks setup according to riding style The point is compression and rebound adjustment Example: soft or fast rebound is good for??? stiff or slow rebound is good for??.. mx, trails, dunes... Soft compression appropriate for? Hard compression appropriate for? Sent from my SM-A500Y using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Compression is just that. How soft are hard it is to compress. To hard it feels to hard and the shock doesn't work well. To soft and the bike just bottoms out and feels off. Rebound is the speed the shock "resets" to ride height. To slow it packs. Meaning it bottoms out and you basically have no shock. To fast and it starts to buck. Meaning it shoots back into position in a violent snap. That can send the bike launching forward or just bounce the front end around. But there's a lot more to it. Spring rates and ride height/preload there's high speed and low speed compression. Any more then that, is above what I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
