Hi Pete,
Firstly thanks for such a great write up, and thanks again to all who have
responded with input and ideas as well.
I have a 2016 Giant Reign 1, fitted with Rockshox Pike RC Solo Fork and
Rockshox Monarch R Debonair Rear Shock, my bike has 160mm Travel.
I weigh in at 205lb, I have tried my Bike now for the last 4 mths, using
the Factory Guides regarding pressures in the Fork and Shocks for my
riding weight.
Fork Pressure at 85psi, Rebound 7 click from Full Open, Compression at 6 click
from Full Open.
Rear Shock Pressure at 250psi, Sag at 35%, Rebound 4 click from full Slow.
I have thought my bike was pretty good before, using all travel and doing what
it should, BUT.
I have had a play around after reading all of these replies Especially
the Post from Andrew R, and original thoughts from yourself, those
Tables that you have supplied have been a huge development baseline for
me to look at what can be achieved and done.
I have my Current Set Up at the moment, my bike feels like a completely
different machine to ride, so much smoother and just seems to float
through the Trails.
My Current Set Up is,
Fork Fitted with 3 Tokens, Pressure 60psi, Rebound 6 clicks from Full Open,
Compression at 3 clicks from Full Open.
Rear Fitted with 4 Bands, Shock Pressure 230psi, Sag at 35%, Rebound 4 click
from Full Open.
I am heading over to New Zealand very soon, can not wait to hit the Trails
over there.
