my secondhand blur lt2 help needed

trucha

Hi all i've just bought myself a Blur LT2 pimped out with some sweet kit.
Just went for a blast around Bracknell forest and noticed the rear shock fox float rp23 has a pro pedal red lever, whilst looking down from the saddle which way should i flip the switch to turn on the pro pedal?
In a forest environment i could not see much difference between either setting so any help would be great.
thanx

You will need to set up the pressures for your liking, and you weight. That was probably why you didn't really find much difference between the 2 settings.

As for pro pedal, when engaged (on my bike atleast) the red lever should be to the drivetrain side, and when fully open it should be to the side with the brakes.

Should be obvious. If the shock is set up correctly you'll notice a lot of difference between propedal on or off

Where are my stabilisers?

Pro-pedal = lever to the right as you sit on the bike and look down.

There is quite a big difference when the shock is on pro-pedal on my blur. To see if it is working properly, it might be best to test it out on a smooth incline, this way nothing will interfere with the bikes response, apart from you pedaling. You should be able to feel the difference. If not, you may need to fiddle with the set up. Hope it's not bust!

To the right unless the shock's been put in upside down or back to front.

Relative to the shock it depends on model year:

You can tell the different years by the angle of the valve.
