Cross post from the SC forum:
Just got a DBair CS with the XV can for my Bronson, set it to the recommended base settings with ~15mm sag, and took it for a ride. I expected to blown away, but came away feeling disappointed. Seemed to be blowing through travel and bottoming fairly harshly. Tried turning up the HSC a bit, but still felt like a pretty hard stop. My fork would have another .5-1in of travel and the rear was maxed.
These are on the same drops and trails I rode with the stock CTD shock. I actually never bottomed it harshly, even off of 5+ft drops and I liked the general feel of that shock. It just lacked at higher speeds, chatter, square edges, and fade.
I've got 1 large spacer in place. I was thinking of adding another spacer or two. Has anyone else run into any problems?
I've tried cranking the HSC and LSC to the max +/- and can't tell much difference from the driveway test at either extreme.
Am I missing something or could there be a problem?
I'm 165 riding and have it pumped to ~120psi
