Compression damping
• standard adjustment
• not enough compression:- the shock is bottoming easy
- the bike sits low
- the bike turns difficult
• too much compression: - the bike is feeling hard and stiff
- the bike feels high
- the shock is not using complete stroke
- the shock just hits the bumps and is not absorbing these
Rebound damping
• standard adjustment
• not enough rebound: - the shock feels springy (feels like no hydraulic damping)
- the shock moves out too quickly, kicks up
- the bike feels high
• too much rebound - the shock feels stiff over a series of small bumps and is
not absorbing (not following) these
- the bike has little traction
- the bike feels low
