Sorry, for posting here but there is no Evil board (yet).
Now that the snow is melting I've been getting some rides in and I've been tweaking my shock. I wanted to see what pressure folks were running and how it feels to them. Oh yeah, what fork are you running and what kind of pressure. I'll start first.
I weight 155 lbs. nekkid and I have a FloatX and a Pike160. I started with 155 psi and noticed I was only getting about 15% sag so I dropped it down to 140. I also tried it as low as 120. I noticed at 120 it still peddled well and wouldn't bottom out but it would wallow under bigger hits. I recently jacked back up to 140 and it stays really high in it's travel but it's a tad harsh. It seems to open up the faster I go though. Might try 135 for a happy medium. For my Pike I'm running about 35 psi with 1 token. It's pretty good but it's not great. I have an Avy kit coming for the Pike end of the month.
