Hi there, i can't find a good setup for my fork, so i need some advice
A bit of context: I'm 74kg (163 lbs) in full gear, bike is a Stumpjumper alloy custom and i do trail riding (agressive and chill, natural rocky trail and smooth jumps and berms trail) some All mountain day and few times at year at bike park, some jumps and drop but nothing crazy...intermediate rider.
The Fork: Rockshox Revelation 35, turned into a pike ultimate with charger 2.1 rct3 and debonair spring b1 @ 150mm travel ( so 145mm with the b1)
Setting:
70 psi
1 token
lsc 5 click from fully open
rebound 11 click from close(slow)
i've also try 2 token with 70-68-65 psi , zero token with 70-75 psi (trailhead app say 75 psi for my weight)
Problem: i feel that i'm too much into the travel....ride height seems a bit low....the fork feels like i blow through on the first part of the travel and after it's a lot progressive even without token. At "low speed" on the trail, sometimes the fork seems lazy or dead feeling. hard to reach full travel, if i jump from standing and smash the suspension with all my weight hardly, i stop a bit under the "debonair mark"
The good part : really good small bumps compliance, the fork is progressive, but dosen't kick hard like low psi and tons of token...it's a good transition (seems good midstroke support for me)
So...all of this text for ask:
Does make sense my setup?
Are my feels on point with the characteristics of the debonair b1? sound familiar to you?
Can i improve the setup?
Maybe the debonair b1 is great for aggressive rider that smash the trail and not for regular/intermediate rider that go half the speed, and in that case the c1 is better?
I read A TONS of discussion about put the c1 beside b1, but seems a step backward....any opinions?
Side note: for the moment, i don't take in considerations upgrade like vorsprung or others...i wanna try first to do the best with what i have, and after take in considerations some external part ( like everflow that got my attention for the performance claim)
Thanks for reading up to here, cheers
