Default Re: Shocking suspension setting?

Well, you may remember my fish hill thread and it's become clear lately that the bike is too soft. It's incredibly comfortable yes, like riding a cloud as you don't feel anything, but on cornering it doesn't really give the kind of response to rider input that you want. It just kind of glides around. It's odd, because I've not had many handling problems at all...in fact the bike, as I've said a few times handles not far off from the babyblade in that it really does just dip in beautifully. It's always the rear that has felt like it's being left behind a little.

Took it to the bike meet at the Lysley Arms last night and the difference was obvious just going up the driveway. The rear end suddenly feels connected to the bike. It feels like one bike going round the bends, not two halves hinged together with the back turning after the front.

Sid, I have the settings somewhere, I'll see if I can find where Dan put them.
