is the dh doable on a 10 year old bike, with a guy whos been riding 8 weeks?

Depends what bike it is mate, what bike is it? (but generally yes anything can ride down it within reason)

Depends on the variables. A boy I rode with last month had hardly ever ridden a push bike however he's piloted dirtbikes forever so he coped with the DH as his skill set suited the conditions well

Edit: Think the question is do you feel confident to ride it, if you are, everything else will come together

Horses for courses really, like I said I'm easy, we can decide at the time

Very basic rule of thumb I use for initial setup of rebound dampping for front and rear shocks:

Find the very central click and give it 2 or 3 clicks towards the faster setting.

And go from there.

Sorry I can't be there dude, its Kaths Birthday on Tuesday and we're off to west wales for a day out

Not sure if you seen my bike thread, but I want your cube as my 2nd bike please. I'm going to steal it when I next see you
