Karina's progression in her body position, break control, and eventual confidence/trust in her abilities and bike were really impressive. You could see when she hit the steeper roll, she was lower, arms bent, weight more centred, and looking further ahead. Not to mention her braking was pretty on point. Ready for Rupert next! Really enjoying these Paul... I love watching people progress, step outside of their comfort zone, and find success.

@paul the Punter - I LITERALLY have those Guide REs (Levo SL) and I had to do the following (coming from Shimano Deore XTs) so I didn't have terrible hand pain where I could not even ride for 20 mins without my hands cramping up - Get the SRAM trigger clamploops and move the shifter off the brake cable so I could adjust them independently. The shifter was hitting my hand / thumb as I ride inboard on the grips and I could never get comfortable with this setup - I did service the SRAM Guide REs and they just have too much pull to start braking. I adjusted them to pick up as quickly as possible. I am replacing them with Shimano Saints after trying everything in the world (including putting them on my old setup where I was comfortable). I personally believe those brakes are just not adjustable enough. Great cockpit setup tips! I will see how rotating the bars works for me! Thank you!

She's killing it and the bike setup made a huge difference!

3:45 This statement ("more pressure/ more rebound") goes at complete odds with my manufacters suspension setup (Norco Fluid). At lighter rider weights (100lbs rider), the pressure is low (50psi) and rebound high (5 clicks out). Medium weights (170lbs rider): 90psi and 3 out. Heavy rider (240lbs): 160psi and 1 out. I'm assuming "Closed" is essentially the slowest rebound setting. I've even asked this to Kyle & April in their suspension break down video. I'm having a hard time getting a straight & consistent answer.
@PaulThePunter3 жыл бұрын
More rebound = closed. Rebound slows down the return, so the more you have of it the slower it returns. Also your shock tune might be unique to your bike. So 5 clicks on one bike might well be different to 5 clicks on another bike, despite having the same shock.
@cornishcactus3 жыл бұрын
Whats confusing is what Paul means by more rebound is more rebound damping. You're adding more rebound control to slow it not adding rebound it's self. When a layman hears more rebound they hear "quicker return" and quite often this is also what the bike guy is telling them, hence the confusion. Guess it should only ever be called more or less rebound *damping*.
