Hey Dave/s - Can properly-setup suspension for the riders current temp and weather conditions help with aches and pains as it gets colder? I.e. i’m 26 and have a lot of pain that flairs up in my back hips and thighs from past accidents, only have a bike licence and would like to know if suspension is a reasonable way of assisting for longer/colder journeys before I look at spending money on ergonomics (which, can be pricey next to a simple setup/education) Cheers chaps!
Yes, all based on oil temperature and that relates to both road conditions/ambient temps and skill levels/pace. Always check fork and shock travel used as the primary data point to see if there is too little or too much used.
I can say a bad setup definitely increases fatigue because you're constantly correcting. In my case springs were too stiff in the front, and too much rear preload.
You guys are awesome. I've learned more than I ever deserve to know. Your channel has helped me service my own iron pony.
Thanks for rolling your sleeves up and making changes!
You can't see what it looks like when you're riding it 😍

At least you cant colour his opinion.
