Hey nice video! What did you say your fork upgrade was? I'm looking for more support and plushness in my fork as well.

[@mtbtelly5522]

It was a Vorsprung Luftkappe

I know this is almost 2 years old, maybe you'll still answer :D I am riding a Nukeproof Reactor with a Super Deluxe Ultimate RCT damper in the back giving 130mm of travel. I am spot on 225lbs full equipped and running 30% sag at 250psi with 1 token inside. Although I am not running really hard I am bottoming out on small stuff already.. At least the rubberring ist always hanging at the end. Would you suggest the Megneg for heavier riders? I heard I could get away with keeping the spacers at maybe 1 while still getting more endtravel progression but still keep the initial soft plushyness and midstroke support. Putting in spacers might help bottoming out but seems to take away some midstroke support the more tokens I put in.. I would love to keep the overall feel of the damper as it is just with more endstroke progession.

I've got the basic Super Deluxe fitter to my Mega, only got rebound adjust. Would you say it's worth getting the MegNeg just for a bit of tune-ability? I like the way it feels but would like to have a way of adjusting things

[@mtbtelly5522]

lewisrd75 I’d only get the megneg if your shocks full of spacers and its still not supportive enough.

[@mtbtelly5522]

lewisrd75 otherwise you’ll just be complicating things unnecesserily

[@nathankennedy4556]

4:22 do you rot your rear derailleur cable between the chainring and the bash guard or behind the bash guard?

[@mtbtelly5522]

Nathan kennedy its mounted behind the bashguardbetween the bb shell and the top iscg tab

How much do you weigh? Curious as to what your weight is with the settings you've been running.

[@mtbtelly5522]

B19 d about 74kg on the bike

[@zabolatlan_nyekenyoka1291]

Hi! Finnaly what do you think, worth upgrading the classic RS Super Deluxe with this?

[@mtbtelly5522]

Kálmán Horváth I wouldn’t upgrade unless your shock is full of spacers and you feel the need to add more to increase support. I’ll drop a vid discussing it soon ✌🏼

@@mtbtelly5522 Hi!I Thank you! I use my S.Deluxe (210x55) with 3 (full) tokens, in 250 PSI, with 30 % default SAG and I feel the suspension movement little bit firm. What do you think, the MegNeg add some more "soft" feeling to movement ? Thank you ?

[@mtbtelly5522]

Kálmán Horváth what bike?

[@zabolatlan_nyekenyoka1291]

@@mtbtelly5522 Nukeproof Mega 290. My body weight about 105 kgs.

[@mtbtelly5522]

Kálmán Horváth I’d drop a spacer out of your current setup and see where that gets you for now

[@andrewk3473]

Thoughts on the EX511, better than the Flows?

[@mtbtelly5522]

Andrew K as good so far I’d say. But they have a washer that sits behind the nipple to spread the load of the spoke tension, so much less likeley to split at the nipple holes like the Flows tend to after long term abuse. It feels good and hasn’t shown any major damage yet so it definitely gets my approval
