Nice job on the video, appreciate the mention, no dampening (0 blue) is the best feeling suspension as it will be the most responsive, you only need to increase dampening if you are bottoming out, with the progressive spring in the Lynx it's much harder to bottom out than on the Sherman S or Patton.
Well if your a street rider not doing any drop or jumps 0 on blue is probably the best for the full feeling experience of the suspension but it all depend of your riding style, i have the 66lb suspension on my Lynx and i did damper out on a 3 feet's drop with 2 clicks so i did move on to 5 clicks... So its better if you bring your screw driver and try by yourself.
@@deadbluesky it's relative to how much you weigh, if you have the correct spring in relation to your riding weight then the progressive spring is not that easy to bottom out
@@RonnieRides your right it's not that easy to bottom out, my weight is around 185lbs with all my gear on and i have the 66lbs springs and at 3 feet drop i did bottom out at 2 clicks 🤷🏻♂️
Update: This video is the real deal. Changed my suspension based off this video. Now finally i feel the suspension as it suppose to feel like. Really CUSHY! 2 thumbs up!
This is exactly how I do every MTB, bike and wheel. So simply but the funny part is how many ppl just ride out of the box!!! Haha. With this great vid I don’t have to explain this over and over, so thank you. 🙏
Thank you! You bring up a good point. This method calculating sag and dialing in the shock can be rolled over to other types of suspension systems. Cheers!
@@ElectrifiedRider just subbed to yours! I will try it the way you explained . Like mentioned, mine was adjusted the opposite way (starting all the way from full stop clockwise - or all the way to the left then adjusted all rebound and compression from the left or counter clock wise(clicking it to the right). Thats how i interpreted Rawneis setting guide lol.
Crazy how you're such a perfectionist when it comes to getting your suspension on point, which I'm sure you don't use as much as you do your phone... So it's quite puzzling how you're OK with a screen protector that isn't fully adhered to your phone screen. 🤯
Question, is there going to be a quiz after this? 😆No., seriously tho I would need this video tutorial as soon as my Lynx arrives. Many thanks, my friend! Very helpful!
Thank you for a perfect explanation of the functions . I just did it for the first time on my Patton that have 1600 km on it until now i have been riding with the factory settings and it have been okay . I had to dial the preload down by 2 rings to get the preload around the 25% and the 30% marker . I have the 66lbs spring version and weigh around 80 kg with gear . I have not been out riding with the new setting yet ,so i am very curious to see what difference is like
Well there's 2 of us who want a 74lb spring/shock. Mine preloads maxxed out too, just barely get the 30mm sag. Would love it a little stiffer for jumping it. I got responses from both Leaperkim and Fastace telling me they don't have a stiffer option. Thanks for the video.
With my 82Kg + extra 8Kg = 90Kg, I did the test AND Lynx still in factory setting. I fall between the two lines of 25-30% sack ! Is this normal as there is zero pre-load in the suspension ? Is it OK to ride without any pre-load in it ??
I'm 89kg (around 196lbs) . Do you recommend 66lbs or 70lbs on Sherman lynx? I'm using it mainly for commuting but the main road here has a lot of pothole and not the best road. And may jump rarely. Please advise me .😊
All I did to alter the ride was to use the screwdriver and turned the inner screw, it changed the way it road, I did not use the socket? Seem to work ok, or am I imagining things?
It depends on your weight and the size shock on your wheel. You may not need to adjust the pre-load at all. The only way to know for sure if your dialed into the sweet spot is to check the sag.
@@ElectrifiedRider Right, Ok, yeah, Im a pretty light guy, the slight adjustment is perfect, I seem to have the sweet spot now. Thanks for the info and video

Thank you Ronnie. Your contribution to the EUC community is appreciated by many. Take care.

Thanks for the testimonial Wilson. I'm happy to hear you got it dialed in to your liking. Cheers!
I taped the pen to touch the sticky note, sat completely on the wheel with my gear, then measured the total distance of the pen line.
Thanks for this vid. I appreciate how you go into detail with this how-to. 👍

Best explanation i've seen. thx
Thank you kindly.
Appreciate the tutorial.
My pleasure. Thanks for the feedback.
Well , this is the best video . I did my compression and rebound opposite direction of your demonstration lol awesome video!
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by the channel. Been a sub of yours for a while now. All the best!

Man you read my mind with this one. I can't wait to get my suspension all setup properly. Thank you for sharing.
No problem 👍

Thank you for the very nice video!
Thank you so much for this video. The instructions helped a lot. Clear and straight forward : )
Thanks a lot for your video, this Will help me a lot, i have a lynx and a patton. Big up from France !!!

My solution is to up my cardio a bit. Lol
Thank you mate!😊
Very Thanks !
You got it!
Gold!!
hate orange, but awesome looking wheel
how much do you weigh ?
Isn't rebound opposite than you explained? If you unscrew it all the way it is more springy?
What tire pressure are you using? Wr are the same weight with the same spring
I have the 66lb Spring and with all my gear on I not even near the 30% only near the 25% closer to 0% then 25%. (no preload set) am i too light ?
Thanks for the explanation! do you have lowerd pedals?
My pleasure. I do not have the lowering kit installed. Personally, I prefer a higher pedal height. Cheers!

What’s your weight?
He said 250lb
My compression damping doesn't make any difference, even fully turned if does nothing... my lynx is brand new :(
So helpful!!! thanks
