Hello,
What is the considered opinion for the best settings on my storm ??.
I am a 6 foot 17 stone type, but the rear feels like it has an rsj fitted instead of a shock absorber !!!

Common mistake - Don't try and quicken the steering by adding more preload, your chalfonts will DEFINITELY suffer
I'm on preload setting 2 (from minimum) and have got a 6mm spacer on the rear shock to quicken the steering instead. Its still firm but as good as its gonna get with the standard shock

Re: settings for me
Given that Roger from Revolution thinks I am too fat(heavy at 17 stone and 6 foot) for standard shocks....you are probably too light !!!tony.wilde1 wrote:what you think i should set mine to?im 10st10lbs(150lbs).it does seem a bit harsh ..i just thought id ask before fiddling!!cheers.oh and im 5'9".thanks.

Hello
I'm 59Kg ish just under 10st I have my Std shock on minimun which works out to give about the right amount of static sag. Rebound damping i've incresed by half a turn and it actually works reasonably now.
