Discovered yesterday (after putting all my gear on for a spin) I have a rear puncture. Can hopefully be sorted this weekend so I haven't been out for further suspension testing.
'OldSon' is right, we have differing spring weights, I'm lighter & have the rear set @ standard height (short legs) so the settings we arrive at will be different.
I have 2.5w oil in my standard forks (along with Ravenrider mod). If you want I could refit those forks & raise them 33mm through the yokes to see if its worth your while doing the mod? Might get a chance to do it next week, plagued by course assignment deadlines at the moment :-(
I am about 75kg without riding gear, so not that far off.....
'Banging off ridges' - could be compression at fault but more likely rebound. I take it you have adjusted rebound in either direction but without finding any improvements?
The riding position does feel much better, particularly for cornering. Probably not as good for distance work, but then again I rarely do more than 100 miles in an outing anyway.
