north shore XC riding!  nice, that guy i smooth.

SO my question is whether or not the yellow verse white Maxxis labe tires are any different if they are the same designations.  I was under the impression the white OEM Maxxis tires are somehow different or inferior for the same tire.  Is that possible?

rode last night, bike feels great, funny I put air in the shock to 235 and added HSC but the shockwiz on the same trail as last time told me to remove air....and last night I was definitely riding harder though I did climb less cuz we shuttled part of the trail.  anyhow fork felt great adding some LSC and taking out the HSC.  The last piece though I think is to get front and back closer, I am using all of my shock but probably only 80% of the fork.

thanks Tim truly appreciate all the info! I think part of my issue is I have been riding a lot of really progressive bikes, right now my other bike is an evil. i feel like the bike has a tendency to blow through its travel if I make the smallest mistake in a landing, even smaller ones so maybe I do just need some more air and hsc.

right now I am about 30% sag so i will take some of that out, maybe try out and get down to 28 or so.

good info on the fork too as I need to keep them closer together. the shockwiz wanted me to add some lsc to the fork but was good on hsc.  right now on the fork i started with the fox settings and they use a good amount of box hsc and lsc.

got out there with the new setting, ended up at 230 in the shock and also got the shockwiz attached.  anyhow bike felt way better thanks for the settings.  my only issue is that with max spacers I still think I am getting a lot of bottom outs on smaller stuff.  shockwiz said to add spacers but of course the shock is full.......not sure how to combat that.

thanks man great info, I was running the fork with different pressures.  went up to about 100 and last ride was around 90.  Wasn't using any LSC and just a maybe 10 or so of HSC from closed.

thanks Tim, 215 geared up with a 36 up front.  x2 does have max spacers from the factory.  appreciate the feedback, I may simply not be riding the bike hard enough at times but I want to give it another try so hopefully your set up info will help.  also I thought the 2017 and 18 were the same bike?

I have been having trouble getting my 2018 Norco Range c9 with an x2 set up and someone on MTBR said Tim Coleman has on and may be able to give me some baseline settings or tips.  Tim if you are out there and have some settings that would be awesome as at this point I feel the bike is deflecting off everything and I know it isnt the bike but it is me or the shock:)
