rear shock

tom_majski

I've got a DHX 3 on the back of my stinky. and although the stinky is a freeride bike, i want to set it up to be more suitable for DH. how should i set the shock up? a lot softer?

Start with 35% sag, then more or less depending on preference. Bottom out and rebound is up to you - depending on personal preference.

wwjjtt

the rebound should be set acording to the track your riding-if it's bumpy and rough, then you need a faster rebound so the shock can get the wheel down quick enough after it's compressed, if it's a smoother jumpy track, then slow it down to stop it bucking you over the bars. you might not notice a huge difference, but it does effect the handeling. you could try putting it to it's extremes and see what it does....but do it carefully cause it might have adverse effects.

never grow up..... just find a bigger playground!
