Hoblick Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) was gonna do this some what earlier this year, but things got all messed up.im not a super genius on suspension, but i can impart some of you on some knowledge you may not have.this a not something im doing as a business, but as a forum member wanting to share a bit of my knowledge and experience.kind of a meet and greet/ know how thingwhat ill cover..setting sagaffects of preload and spring rate changewhat is rebound damping/ how does it affect the bikewhat is compression damping/ how does it affect the bikedifference between hi/low speed dampingrake and trailyou can opt to bring your bike and have your sag set.i will show you how to get a baseline for damping, and where to take it from there.as DesmoBrian has stated in other threads, damping isnt something that really can be set and left alone. Different riding conditions will require different settings to get optimal performance out of your suspension.im gonna not try to go to in depth, but give folks some info into how your suspension works, why it does what it does, and what all those adjustments do. as well as meet some members from the forum.at the moment i have no tenative date for this, and pending on how many are interested i may do this more than once to break big groups up.i have a week and a half off coming up during the holiday time, so that would work the best for me i think.it will be held in my Heated Garage, bring drinks, food, whatever.we could all pitch in for pizza and pop or whatever.so whos in?

Hoblick Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I could do it on a weekday in the evening or on a weekend day26th-30th looks pretty open for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjachic Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Idk about anyone else, but the 26th and 27th evenings are good for me. the 29th and 30th are iffy depending on the time. But i"m sure even if I come for the last half those days I'll still meet some awesome people and learn more than what I know now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'd love to come but I probably can't make it. Got some work stuff during the week and the 29th is my bday. Got plans for that already. I need to learn about my suspension. My bike has been pretty much like a Ronco rotisserie, set it and forget it. That needs to change. It's the one aspect of my bike that I don't know everything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoblick Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I'd be willing to attend and help if needed or wanted. Up to you... Could pass on knowledge if desired...Thats fine with me, you probably have a little more knowledge in the fine tuning and cause and affect on the track then i do, so it would be a great idea.
