    When you ad or remove air you must put the shock through a few cycles every 20-30 psi. Otherwise air might be stucked in the wrong chamber.

  • @TAZMON20
    @TAZMON20 4 роки тому +9

    I like it, not too sold on the colour options, the suspension is the key to the bikes obvious future success, progressive so it should offer small bump sensitivity at the start of the stroke but with enough ramp up to stop it blowing through all of its 130mm travel too early, and yet that number alone is mind blowing, that a 130mm rear suspension platform can do, and possibly better, than your Mojo HD5 / 5 did.
    It will be interesting to see if you tune the pedalling efficiency as I understand you can with a high pivot / idler set up, may give you an advantage on the flatter sections of stages as it shouldn't compromise the suspensions efficiency, all in all it's an interesting platform for an Enduro bike as it's usually kept for the Downhill yobbo's.

    • @LewisBuchanan
      @LewisBuchanan  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks dude. Yeah I mean honestly it feels more planted than any of the ibis bikes I rode. More stable and I am much more comfy on it also. I think it’s the suspension design and the high pivot that really does it etc.

  • @alexkeyes1706
    @alexkeyes1706 4 роки тому

    if you have to do testing on your own again, look up how to equalize your suspension, you just push it slowly into the first 25 percent or so of the suspension, some of the air trasnfers to the negative. The main reason to do this is so that if you are making a change of 5 psi or less you get the same number every time. Play around with the shock pump and try it and see if it changes your numbers at all.

    also damper feels too stiff so put in a bigger spacer and less air?... personally would take out the spacers at all and put the pressure up. stiff means progressive spacers add progressiveness. so spacers out, pressure up rebound down. that damper can handle up to 350 psi so much room to play with. just my 2 cents from a rookie

    Then have markers on local tracks for time and a little timing book.

    The whole chain thing looks like a lot of things can get stuck in places. Plus a lot of parts to watch and the chain. Just my opinion.

    Why would you want a long travel 29er on those trails they’re looking like the exact opposite of what you’d want that bike for

      Lewis Buchanan eh wasn’t hating or anything man obviously you know better probably I have raced EWS but not factory pro, I just know I always hated my enduro 29 in berms and bike park type stuff, ride stumpy evo 27.5, overall yeah though the 29s are way faster all around just thought it looked really tight where you were, but obviously you’ll be racing Ews so it’s definitely an amazing bike
