Similar setup query as OPs post here:
This question goes to users of the Manitou ISX-6 on a Nomad Mk2 alu, specifically and on other VPP bikes in general.
Some info to put it in context: On my ride last ride, on mostly AM trails, I noticed for the first time after installing the ISX-6, that on landing after bigger drops/stairs/jumps on higher speed, the rear wheel was rubbing on the seat tube of my Nomad. :nono:
I wouldn't have noticed it, until I actually heard the sound on the tire rubbing on metal, on the video that one of my riding mates shot (maybe about 6ft. drop), see below (pay attention to 00:13-00:16):
Then I looked at the decals I have on the seat tube and there are partly peeled off, from frequent contact with the rear tire. Doing my usual drops of about 4-5ft., I always have about 5% of travel still left on the rear shock. But now on the bigger drops my rear tire (Maxxis HighRoller 2.35 LUST) is rubbing on my seat tube.
My current setup is 90PSI on the IFP, and 170PSI on the main can, with 3 clicks of LSC and 3 clicks of HSC and bottom out at 2, fully kitted, about 210lbs (92kg).
Has anyone faced a similar situation before?
What should I change in my rear shock setup so as, the real wheel does not touch the seat tube on larger drops/jumps?
