You have a new ride oso ? I would say 200lbs,your wieght - 10,or so I have heard,but I may likely be wrong on that.

 

[osokolo]

why not...

You have a new ride oso ?

i figure... if you as a student could afford an ells and a turner, i'll get another ells...

is that ok with you?

No,no its not,take it back RIGHT now oso !!!! of course I am kidding,what color? what size ? when did you get it ? did you just want a back up ride? have you taken it on its maiden voyage yet ? how does it ride ? I hope you enjoy it and you get years of use out of it ! :thumbsup: Post some pics when its all dolled up !

What pressure should I run for RP3... I am 210# with gear... thanks...

At about 185#, I run 150 psi in a PUSHed RP3.

 

[osokolo]

how much to PUSH it?

At about 185#, I run 150 psi in a PUSHed RP3.

are rocker spacers the same as for 2004 Truth? i can run Romic until i get RP3 back from PUSHing if they are the same...

thx

PUSH info is here:

The rocker spacers are the same as for a 2001 through 2003 Truth and I think they're the same from then on too, but I'm not positive.

I am close to your weight

and run 155 in mine. never feel a harsh bottom, though I am certain I occassionally use all of the travel. Jim

Enough to get the proper sag.

 

[osokolo]

thanks einstein...

Enough to get the proper sag.

my problem is that i have RP3 on Truth, and i put 150# in it... Truth leverage is 2:1

i believe Id leverage is 3:1 - am i wrong?

following this logic, the pressure in RP3 on Id should be over 200# - that seems to be very high...



right now to get the proper sag i need to put 190# in... kinda high compared to other people...

The Id's leverage ratio averages 2.5:1 with a 2" stroke shock and 2.67:1 with a 2.25" stroke shock.

 

[osokolo]

RP3 is 2" stroke

The Id's leverage ratio averages 2.5:1 with a 2" stroke shock and 2.67:1 with a 2.25" stroke shock.

so the leverate ratio is 2.5:1

so if i use 150# on my Truth (2004MY), what should be starting point for the Id, that maks sense... it has to be more than 150# - right???

Enough to get the proper sag.

+1...enough to set the sag between .25" & .5" depending on the terrain and required stiffness

O., I was at slightly over 155 PSI, give or take a few, thats the last thing I write down about it, I set it, then gave it a tweak on a ride. Just found the piece of card I wrote it on in the toolbox.

The Id's leverage ratio averages 2.5:1 with a 2" stroke shock and 2.67:1 with a 2.25" stroke shock.

Why would the leverage ratio change with a different shock stroke? Isn't leverage ratio determined by frame design and rocker?

 

[Pic-n-Sav]

What pressure should I run for RP3... I am 210# with gear... thanks...

I weight 215# and I ran 165 psi with a '05 Float R.

 

[Whafe]

thanks

Dude, you forgotten my weight already. approx. 190 with gear.

 

[osokolo]

clarification

I weight 215# and I ran 165 psi with a '05 Float R.

we were talkinga about the leverage ratio of the frame (rocker)...

obviously, more leverage would require more pressure if everything else is the same...

Id has higher rocker leverage ratio than Truth...

has nothing to do with shocks or shock strokes...
