Capitalism would be to let the company die w/o government interjection. Something or someone will be there to pickup the pieces and if not then you're right, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

No worries mang:cheers:

This is exactly what I'm trying to get at. When you sat on the bike it went down rapidly, but when your light friend does it moves down slowly. It'll still move down since you haven't adjusted the stiffness of the spring just the rate at which it moves. If you took that same bike and backed out the compression completely, you and your friend will still end up at the same respective points, you'll just get there faster. Lets say a 200lb person is on a pogo stick with the compression maxed out. They make the spring compress 2". Now a 100lb hops on and the spring compresses 1". Now take all of the compression out and the 200lb guy still makes the spring compress 2" and the 100lb guy 1", but they move the spring faster.

You know who else thought they were doing things the right way? Natzis. Just because you think you're doing things right, doesn't mean you are. It isn't that I don't think he won't benefit from it, rather you're doing it backwards. Rebound and compression adjustments are for fine tuning. They aren't there to make a bike meant for a 180lbs person work for someone 275lbs.

This is terrible advise Nick. Adjusting the compression is the WRONG way to adjust for rider weight. Compression is a dynamic event that controls the rate of movement within the shock and only applies when the shock is moving. Setting sag is a static measurement, and is the first thing you want to do to when setting up your suspension. Your advise is to cover up the real problems going on in the suspension. To much compression won't let the forks move anywhere making the bike handle like shit since weight isn't transfering forwards and backwards.

Thus sag at the very least. Some lack of reading comprehension up in here...:lol:

Congrats!!! How does it feel to be a baby daddy?

+1 I'd say join us on June 1st but I think Novice is booked

Whatever you do, do NOT listen to anyone who says to double the posted speed for a given corner. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done, especially if you aren't confident in your abilities. Remember to look through the corner, apply a little maintenance throttle, grip the tank with your legs and take the pressure off your hands. Be smooth with your inputs and the confidence will come and with confidence comes speed.

Sounds like an excuse to me:violin:

Nope. I only put cams in backwards.

Bring it. My brute just beat you down

^^^It might be. He still hasn't come back and it's been about 20min. I think he's running around trying to find a stapler.

O yea he looked around to see if anyone saw then got up and left the room.

Now everyone's looking at me funny because I can't stop laughing

I just saw this really fat guy at work rip his pants when he sat down and I think I'm the only one who witnessed it!

He's in love

Are you bringing the wifey?

I'm not allowed to text while I'm at work

No one cares Just playin' that's bad ass

:werd:Facking jobs

Then why smoke blunts? I guess I never understood why someone would want to cover the taste of good smoke with a 50 cent blunt wrap. I'll take a nice blown bubbler anyday especially if it's the bomb bizzle.

Fair enough, I'm just saying that Cuban sourced tobacco isn't guarenteed to be a good smoke. BTW if you happen to have any more of these Cubans I wouldn't mind taking the Pepsi challenge.
