Nice! Welcome to the club!milhouse said:I just got me new bike yesterday and I'm very happy with my decision. This bike looks and feels great. I just have a few questions:
REAL simple fix. Remove the lower shock bolt. Insert screw driver thru eyelet. Turn eyelet 180 degs. Re-attach shock. Fixed!The first is a problem with the rebound adjuster knob from the 6-way hitting the oval shape spacer between the 2 linkage plates. And this is just from tricking around the streets. I saw someone at Mt. Creek last week where the knob had put a big dent in the same area. I'm concerned about ruining the shock. What (if any) is the fix for this?
80psiAlso, what is the starting pressure I should start with for the 6-way for a 180# rider?
No more than 2 turns of preload. The bike is sprung for a 180lb rider.The spring tension came stock all the way unscrewed. That seems a little odd. Where is a good starting point (in inches) for me at 180#.
It's usually easier to get the axle out if you put the nut on the drive side, axle if from the non-drive. It can be a pain to get the axle past the RD sometimes.And the last question is does it matter which way you put the rear axel in? I am a pretty experienced builder (of all my bikes) but all my other bikes were quick release.
im planning on buying the 04 SGS team or WC next week.ska todd said:Nice! Welcome to the club!
