These videos have come a long way! With rockshox suspension, I typically only run 20-25% sag to help with mid stroke diving (Not relevant to flight attendant). Compression can be used up to a few click, but tends to be too much after that. As for rebound start in the middle and bracket up and down, you’ll probably end up a few clicks faster than at halfway.
@rrolleman4879
@rrolleman4879 Ай бұрын
30% sag is too much for a fork (if measured with weight balanced between front and rear wheels). This would put your weight too far forward. 20% sag on most bikes/forks is ideal. Then work through rebound and compression. Search up Seb Stott's guide from a few year's back for one of the best guides for suspension setup.

I've been running a Yari 160 fork on my budget 2022 Marin Alpine Trail 7 Enduro Bike. Was $3,000 new in 22 and it seems same spec "budget" bikes now go for $$2,000-$2,400. I upgraded a few of the usual things most MTBs do and my buddies with $4-$6,000 bikes. I've never had problems keeping up and am usually up top climbs and down first. It's a "heavy" bike, prolly around 36lbs, but I also ride 3-4 days a week enduro or xc trails. I rebuild the suspension & drivetrain after the first year because I put 2,500 miles on it and will probably be 3 this year. Point being. You don't need super high end parts or bikes to ride trails and have fun. And you can always slowly upgrade things or replace as you progress and time goes along. Your videos are fun to watch because a lot of us can relate to these things getting into the sport ! Keep em coming!
@SprSonik13

I’ve dropped far too much money on high end bikes over the years, but largely because I just like getting my stuff dialed in exactly how I want it. For people newer to the sport who really want to improve performance, a properly fit mid range bike with dialed in components will be significantly cheaper than a high-end bike dialed in the same way and will barely give up any performance. Combine that mid range bike with proper nutrition, fitness, and skill training (even if paying for real coaching) and you will be a much better rider than the person who just throws money at their bike. For racers, honest evaluation of where you fall in your class will almost certainly prove that training and fitness are the better investment in time and money than any gear.

difference between fox/rockshox is that fox suspension has a consistent stiffness all the way through the travel, whereas rockshox has the progressive. For me, I much rather the feeling of the fox, but I know that a lot of people prefer rockshox, I guess it's up to what you are used to/what feels more comfortable for you.

I did have a brain fart, and forget to purge the air can of PSI and almost blew a hole in my face when the cap finally unscrewed all the way - scared the heck out of me (can't believe I forgot to do such a fundamental task!) - was going to use the stock air damper, but had to order the upgraded version cuz I nicked the shaft when it shot past my face into the garage rafters. Kinda glad I got the upgrade air damper, because it rides higher in the travel and is more plush than stock.

I have the same Lyrik Select+, you can upgrade it to charger 2.1 RC2 changing the entire cartridge for about 250$, you can also fit the new Charger 3 RC2 with buttercups for about the same price (the only problem is that you're limited to 160mm of travel) and last option, but the one that I've chosen, you can install the Push HC97 compression and basically get a RC2 (with 28 clicks of LSC and HSC) for 100$ shipped, is currently discounted

I have had quite a lot of experience with the suspension on the low bike and I can say for sure that flat feeling is just a fox problem. I have rode that shock brand new on a specialized status and I couldn't tolerate how terrible the feeling of it was. I ended up changing it to a rockshox monarch fron 2019 and it was 3x better instantly without even being tuned for the frame. As for the lyric fork. I have over a year spent riding a base level one from 2019 and the best tip I could give you would be to set the sag at or just under 25% and either speed up the rebound a bit or add another volume spacer to keep the fork in the soft begging of it's travel. I live in New Zealand though and I ride like I'm on crack so I have a much harder suspension setup than most. (185 psi rear and 95 front for a 60 kg rider) hope that helps though. I am loving the series so far and I've got to say that was a very nice touch adding the $ per second in there to show the true value.

But i think the best way to shave seconds off your time is to improve your skills by riding more challenging terrain or bettering your fitness. And you didnt seem to be encouraging anyone to buy the newest suspension or anything which is one of the things i like about your channel.

I suspect the time difference between high and low bike on the tech trail was due to fatigue. The improvement in smoothness with the FA suspension is likely more to do with being brand new, and low bike's suspension probably needs a damper service at both ends. The Lyrik is a buttery smooth fork if it's not in need of a damper service.

Alot of expensive upgrades are not worth it. But some make it really better. Like suspension, its not so much about seconds but the feel on the ride. I have superdeluxe ultimate thrushaft on my slash and select plus on my rail. While i would probably ditvh more or less same seconds on both. The ride feel is not even close. The ultimate feels so smooth and comfortable. So maybe not worth in seconds but worth in feel. However flight attendent is mostly overkill

You can try Volume Spacers in the fork and shock. But I am sure you already considered it.

Not sure if I'm right (i don't know those trails), but looks like not a single crank was performed during the descents and that's where the flight attendant shines.

Yeah that's the rule throughout the series. No pedaling on the downhill, so you're right. Although Chad said that the suspension does firm a little on the downhill jumpy trails and the bike was faster on those trails

My bike currently has a $1200 fork. My old bike had a $800 fork. In my experience the extra $400 is not worth it. Both are super adjustable and super plush.

For me, upgrades haven’t made me much faster, but it has been more comfortable and I enjoy my rides more.

The old chad would have defenitly went for a sram transmission derailer and then realizing he needs the proprietary chain, casette, chainring and that sixbolt crankarm. Therapy has done wonders for him 🙏

That time difference can be put down to so many variations. essentially, the expensive suspension has got you nothing. good test to prove a point.

I like this series but I think there is too much in common with donut media's high low series, the name, the way of explaining stuff and all. I think it would have been better to go on a way of your own, otherwise good video

Just a thought run the high bike first in all your runs. The more familiar with the trails, the better you do. Eliminate that factor? Edit. Yes i am aware of fatigue

Something that helps with runs like Dragon Scales? 25% sag. 😁 More air to push the fork back out.
