Nice, I'm really glad to see and scale up the fork projection for personal testing (I want more front end plant now that my sag is set in the rear).
Someone just took the photo and sent it to Cycle News... I sure wish he would have asked for some info.... I can tell you anything you want to know about what we do to the TXC 310 an the TC 250....
Seems the best way with mags is to push the info. Maybe do a quick write up and send a few photos if you have time / want to. Keep up the great effort.
FAR, thanks for checking in. Can you tell me the fork (black part only, projection from the top of the clamp on pictured bike. I can scale it from the foto. I have a one rate heavier rear spring on the way to get my rear sag better dialed, Im at 100mm race but at 18 static with a bunch of turns into the spring, the next rate up (6 from 5.8) should get me to a better static number with less spring bind. I dont even know whats in the front but I will find out from RaceTech. (they did the set up for the previous owner-'11 TE310). Or any of your preferred sag standards for these bike suspension set ups would be nice.Thx Rob
What spring do you have in the front ? Your weight ? Static and Rider sag on front forks ? You want about 40-42 static (14% of available travel )front and 75mm rider sag (25% of available travel)front. You want 34% of available travel in rider sag rear. On my WR150 that is about 32-34mm static sag (11%) and 101-103mm rider sag (34%). Now it settles right down in a corner like it should. I had to go down one size on fork springs. I had to go WAY UP on rear spring. Went from a 5kg to a 6kg. That is 5 sizes heavier. Now it is very plush.
We run the forks 10mm from the top of the fork.. We had to put a stiffer fork spring in.. Rear shock we had to go to a stiffer spring and run it with 103mm sag with static is 38 mm.
