Welcome Back viewers. Over the past few weeks we have upgrading the Bronson with Cane Creek Components as well as a Box Prime 9 group set. SO its time for some suspension.
I have been fighting this feeling that my bike wasn’t feeling the way id like it to. I had trouble explaining to people that I wanted more feed back. I wanted to have the ability to throw all my power into the bike and it throw it right back at me. I wanted more low hit compliance but not having to be be half way through my travel already to get it. I Wanted something that was a set it and forget it style. something that wasn’t going to change because of my location. I want it to be a ready for what ever set up to match my style of riding. Cane Creek Components heard my needs and developed a progressive coil that fits the Bronson. Yes a progressive coil that fits on a Bronson. Lets get in there and check this thing out.
We are ready to rock and what better than Big Creek Park in Roswell Georgia. Lets see if we can catch up with my Buddy Ryan that runs the place.
This coil is an amazing fit for me. It feels like I can boost higher, preload later and haven’t bottomed it out even with huge flat landings. A huge shout out to Cane Creek for designing something that is going to help my progression in the sport. Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button to help the channel grow. Pedal a little harder and don’t touch the brakes.

[@josedavalos1223]

Hi, How do you choose the correct progressive spring weight?. I normally use 400 lb x 65mm linear spring on my 230x65mm coil shock 28-30% sag on my cube stereo 170. For example some brands spring show MRP 400+ x65mm, others show DCO 350-400lb x 65, others CANE CREEK 400-488x65 and I get confused, I'm not sure if those are the correct weight o should I chose the next range with more weight. Thankyou.

[@SteadySpin]

This depends on your weight and style of riding. I’m 190-200 lbs so I choose a heaviest progressive spring. If you are 130 I’d use the 350-400. But if your super aggressive maybe you want a stiffer spring. Hope that helps

[@kraby007]

It is necessary to use CASCADE LINK with Cane Creek DB IL Coil or is possible replace shock with shock? I have Bronson V3 AL size M. Thank you for answer

[@SteadySpin]

As long as it’s progressive coil it works

[@jimothyMTB]

I am going to get my Prime 9 pre-order in, that concept seems perfect to me (and for me) - all that range without all the gears in the middle that I don't use. How are you liking it?

[@SteadySpin]

Pretty solid. The combo with the oval chainring is awesome.

[@toddspellman7153]

Hi, I just got of the phone with Matt over at Cane Creek and he mentioned I check out your video - I am on a 2021 Bronson V3 and ordered the DbCoil Il, but Matt said I should go with the linear spring because I already have the Cascade link installed and with the Progressive coil and Cascade, it would be too much - do you have any experience with the Cascade and coil? Thanks! Can't wait for mine to get here! The way you described the feeling at the beginning is just how I feel. I can't explain it to friends, but it just doesn't feel right to me as is - looking for that Set it and Forget it ride that is good to go no matter what!

[@SteadySpin]

The coil will do that for you. Also the coil part is cheap so snag an extra progressive coil. I’m a smasher and the coil keeps me planted more than the air has ever.

[@shannonmcauley552]

I got a super duluxe coil for my 2020 bronson, however I was told that only an MRP progressive spring will fit due to the diameter of the spring required for this shock. But was also told the mrp spring could well damage my frame cause of the clearance will be pretty tight. Anyone got any info on this wether there would be enough clearance to run this progressive spring? Cheers!

[@SteadySpin]

Reach out to Slowey at Cane Creek. The guys there love to be spec doctors and make sure it kits your ride no bs.

[@mtb246]

I just bought a barely used CCBD IL. Are you still using yours and any long term feedback on it's performance over time? I also bought a sprindex adjustable progression coil to allow me to play with progressivity. What was your experience setting up the LSC, HSC and rebounds?

[@SteadySpin]

All the setting worked pretty easy and became a set it and forget it. Great for smashing through some gnar. Never had any issue with it. I returned to air so it took less input compared to the coil.

[@mtb246]

@@SteadySpin what was your reason for returning to air?

[@bertrenolds5]

I have a Bronson v2 and I currently have a dhx2 with a normal linear spring. I know the bronson is a mix of progressive and linear but it was designed around a air shock. What I ride a air shock cant handle so I went dhx2. Now that this spring came out I am seriously considering it. I was on a 600lbs spring but I'm thinking I can go down to the 500 to 600lb progressive valt spring and soften my small bump without bottoming out and make my ride a little more plush. Did you find this spring mimicked how the bike handled before with an air shock and also do you think it suits the vpp suspension and the design of the Bronsons? I love having a coil on my Bronson, I wont go back.

[@SteadySpin]

I think it really keeps me high in the travel through the small stuff. I never feel it bottom out ever. Yet the Bronson was a air only until the progressive coil came out. It adds weight for sure. Mine is at 33.75lbs. Complete. You get the progressive coil and you are gonna love it. Have you tried the eeWings ? Make sure to use that steadyspin discount code and save 20%. Thanks for watching the channel

[@bertrenolds5]

[@SteadySpin]

It ride the same style so the coil worked great for me. The coils are cheap so I’d try the heavy and then a step down on the progressive coil.

[@Bikingwithliedtke]

How does the spring feel? Cause I just bought a 2022 and wanted to put a coil on. Looked it up but the internet said they don’t recommend the coil shock. Is it worth it?

[@JJay-m1x]

Might be a very stupid question but does the direction the coil is inserted matter? just bought one and my ccdbcs has to be built in upside down to fit my frame. i turned the coil so you can still read the labels normally or does it have to be upside down as well?? it shouldn't affect it or do i have a massive brain fart?
