Bicycle tire Tire Bicycle frame Bicycle wheel rim Bicycle wheel

Crappy pic, and never mind the pedals (just for setup) but this is my NRS so far-

Flat Gray powdercoat frame

Fox forks 100mm

XTR hubs with DT Swiss XR4.2D wheels (very light)

XTR M952 drivetrain

Syncros seatpost

Easton EA70 lo-rise bars

Peeled off all the stickers and logos, so it is not flashy at all.

Anyway, the questions-

Rear shock is a stock SID, I weigh 200 pounds, so I am running 200 in the top chamber and 50 at the bottom, from what I gathered, this is correct for a no sag initial setup, I would appreciate some confirmation or even some setup tips from the experienced NRS owners out there-

BTW, this no sag setup is a first for me, so feeling no give when I sit down has me slightly baffled!

sounds good to me. had the same SID on mine and it worked great with that setup. I actually went a bit above body weight(personal preference)

I've got an NRS with a Cane Creek AD-10 rear shock... and I prefer to run it WITH sag.

Of course I've finally worn the poor bike out so my NRS days are officially behind me.

That is about right. Depending on the terrain it may be like riding a hardtail. The nrs is a very responsive bike and with the no sag setup it is like a bullet. However, if you are riding in very rocky terrain your butt will be jumping off the saddle with every single rock. I set up mine with plenty of sag, both chambers about the same pressure. It is a less responsive but it gives me lots of traction.
