Looking for advise about the charger. I cant decide which charger i should get the rc2 or the rct3. How did you decide to get this 1?
@SimplePleasuresMTB3 күн бұрын
@@someguyfromky I went with what I could afford at the time honestly. I wanted to get a new fork but there was nothing wrong with the Yari so I decided to upgrade to the best Damper. The real difference I felt in this was the small bumps at higher speeds, never had an issue with bottoming out or anything, it just smoothed out the ride for me. Now I run the Rockshox Domain fork and it’s basically a Yari in a ZEB body. It uses the same damper as the Yari and was very choppy going with the suggested settings from Rockshox trailhead app. I tried adding tokens and that didn’t help. Then I saw a video that changed my whole thought process about sag settings. It made my forks feel way better in every way. I did a video on it, kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ25pIx3irxknbcsi=fFz_Qu6eIDXFkf9f

Your body position is quite off and as a result, your trajectory is off... Try to squat into the travel before the jump to maximize leverage. When going off the lip your weight is just central, it should be leaned back more and when you are the apex start leaning forwards, instead you're sort of doing a drop motion.
@iangresley782815 күн бұрын
Honest advice - You're not using the lip. You should be pushing into the lip all the way through your back wheel, but as soon as your front tire leaves the lip, you're giving up on the jump. Essentially, you're doing an "English" style bunny hop instead of "American" style. Skills with Phil has a great video on the difference. If you focus more on the jump technique, you will notice that the lip does a lot of the work for you, and you can clear the jump with much less speed. If you watch the video in slow mo, you'll notice that you are completely decompressing before even hitting the lip, when you should be compressed throughout the lip, exploding upwards as your back tire leaves it. Sorry for the paragraph, but keep up the hard work and you'll be there in no time man!

No worries on the “paragraph” I appreciate it👍🏻That’s exactly the kind of feedback I need. Thank you for your time and pointers. I’ll definitely check out the Skills with Phil video, I watch him but don’t recall that specific one. Thank You
I learned how to mountain bike on bikes in the 90 that explicitly said not to jump them. I can’t get the hand of it either

I'm surprised 67 was the trailhead recommendation for your weight. For my weight (175), it recommends 85-95 for my Lyrik (which is only 35mm stanchions - maybe that's why).

@user-vf7gp1hr9c21 күн бұрын
Even budget forks have come a long way. Sag sets your ride height. Compression adjustment would give you the same effect of the support in corners if it is sensitive enough. Now that you've got the feel, you'll be able to feel the difference in the compression and rebound (usually work in concert) as well as be able to adjust for different tire pressure settings. I was running my Lyrik the same as you - maybe used one or two compression off and on. You'll know if the rebound is off as it will feel vague if too slow and bounce all over if too fast - I pumped my fork up to 85-90 ( from 80) and had to click rebound down two - felt great. Nice video.

Good place for testing is Rocky Peak Trail (the doubletrack at Simi Valley) - You can get nice speed on the downhill and let the suspension work and it will let you know right away whether your rebound is good or not - it let's you go for extended periods and really feel what's going on. Need to be in the ballpark on the sag of course.
