Great article Dave!
As I put new suspension front and rear of my bike the beginning of the year I also had to get it adjusted. I went about where the manufacturer said, then on repetitive laps at Snoqualmie Pass bike park I did untimed bracketing. I ended up with a lot less rebound on my rear than RS recommended (2023 Super Deluxe Ultimate coil) and I had to go 'too far' to find that point. On the previous Fox Float DPS I ran zero rebound on the adjuster and still wished for less. On the RS coil I had to go a couple clicks from open to get to where I like it.
Fork is very close to the recommendations with maybe 2 clicks less (2024 Z1 coil on medium spring at 160mm). But the faster I'm riding the more compression damping I seem to want.
It would be interesting after having done some decent quality adjustment tuning on repetitive laps where I would find myself after analysing with something like the Motion Control setup. I like less rebound than all my riding partners, so am I running it too bouncy or are they just packing up a lot more?
Again, really good article and beautifully presented.
