This conversation scrached the surface of an important question to me. You speak about leverage ratio (wheel travel vs shock movement) and how it changes. My question is: why is the recommendatios SAG of the shock general 30% and the courve of frame leverage ratio is not taken to consideration? Different bikes with different progressivity the 30% SAG on the shock can result 33-45% wheel travel (sag). A suspension with strong progression the rear end of the bike can sit very deep in the travel (and BB can be very low, and less reserve in the suspension travel).
Since it is very difficult to measure %of travel of the actual wheel, it’s usually talking about the shock travel percentage for the recommended sag. Rockshox actually puts travel gradients on their suspension for just this. Each manufacture May recommended something different for sag. It also has to do with the shock as well “most” air shocks with an IFP system have a transfer port to charge the negative spring. These are usually placed around this sag mark as well. Even progressive bikes are only changing about 5-8% in that sag setting so it rally is only a few mm in rear wheel travel difference, assuming a long travel bike.
@@TheLoamWolf This is good information. I have a Delano Peak and think I have it tuned pretty good with minimal changes from Fezzari's recommended set up. I always think it could be just a bit better. A lot of my issues are the variety of trail conditions I encounter and lack of knowledge for minor tweaks. Thanks again and for giving direct to buyers bike manufactures a chance to explain the quality of their bikes.
Thanks for watching!! Interesting guess… you’ll have to wait just a little longer to find out in a future Dissected episode. It’s a very fun bike though, we’ll say that! Haha
This is the stuff us newbies are looking for! Thanks for sharing dude!
Glad it was helpful!
Super informative, Love this style video!!
Glad you liked it!!

I love this type of information I really needed this
Loam’s hair is ALWAYS perfectly on fleek.
Good vid content, too lol
Hahaha. Thanks very much
This was really good! Love the passion!
I like to listen to Earth Crisis while I enjoy a burger and a beer.
Well yeah, it’s pretty good music so that makes sense.
Thanks for coming out!🙌🏻
We had a ton of fun, let’s do it again!

Great Info.
Glad you think so!
7:48 is that a new dh rig?
Custom La Sal Peak (dual crown compatible) for Kurtis Downs.
Buena info.
Gracias. Saludos
Good info thanks!!!…. I’m guessing a Delano peak(style)super light emtb and I hope I’m right. 🙏

Carbon Sram Wire Peak 2.0???
This is my guess, and what I’d say all signs point to.
Close... think bigger
