A quick question, I have always ridden single track with my rebound set on fast and preload set on minimum, I have found it comfortrable but was wondering if there was any general rule of thumb for sus settings & different riding conditions?
cheers

1. Set preload for your desired sag setting, rather than the terrain you are riding.tom_fun wrote:A quick question, I have always ridden single track with my rebound set on fast and preload set on minimum, I have found it comfortrable but was wondering if there was any general rule of thumb for sus settings & different riding conditions?

2. Having a fast rebound is fine - the balance is to make sure it does not kick back at you too much which can upset the bike. The danger of having rebound too slow is that the shock does not recover and therefore 'packs down' over successive hits.You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -
This might help.
It's specific to RockShox owners, but there's a good explanation of what does what and why towards the end.

You'd be surprised at how slow you can set the rebound before it does start to pack down. Take a look at the videos on Mojo's website.
On my Pikes I have it set at 3 turns out from slowest for 25mm of sag. On my Fox forks (36 Van Rs) I have it set at two clicks out from slowest for about 30mm of sag.0 -
