Ringle - 2023 Updates | Trek Fuel Ex 9.8 Gen 6

I realized I kept saying I reduced my air volume when I was talking about reducing my air pressure down from 240 psi to 225 psi. My bad. When I just reduced my pressure down to 225, that aligned with what the Trek Suspension calculator suggested based off my rider weight. With the Gen 6 Fuel, reviews said Trek fixed the previous bobbing issue that I felt with the Trek recommended settings on my Remedy. The 225 psi felt like I was getting a ton more grip and didn’t feel super harsh through chatter like when I had it at 240, which makes sense. I decided to try adding the medium size volume spacer vs the super small stock one to help prevent any bottom out while reducing the air pressure to make it more supple at the beginning of the stroke. I’m excited to see how this feels.

I have the Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 6. Sometime next year I plan to upgrade the suspension to factory. I'm a heavier guy so upgrading should be nice. Might keep the brakes as is which are SLX 4 piston. The drive train is XT and I'm probably going to keep that on there till I wear it down. Haven't been able to ride it much because the Heat wave for the past 5 months but it should be braking after tomorrow. We get down to the 80's and 70's. Been high 90's for the past 2 weeks and before that like 106 plus for almost 4 1/2 months.
