Supreme bike set up suggestions required please.

[noggythenog]

I would like to try a different suspension & tyre set up this year & am interested to hear your thoughts.Last year i jacked the bike up, went with the  stiffest setting on the rear shock & had 2 lines showing on the front shocks, the bike felt precise,turned in quickly but was a little bit jumpy & i was bounced off the seat a few times.I am aiming for a bit of speed & fun, not particularly doing any slow speed touring.Im circa 15 stone.

I got thinking about the way i corner in the car & i tend to hold wide on the corners, wait until the suspension has gone all the way over before powering out or around the corner & i quite like that bit of sponginess the suspension gives me rather than being stiff as a board on solid suspension, ive no doubt the stiff suspension is in reality better for cornering but the comfort of the soft suspension makes me feel more comfortable and thus more relaxed and feeling in control so maybe i am quicker on that type of set up.

back to bikes then, anyone got any suggestions for softening things up whilst still being able to do some spirited riding???

i was running 36psi front and 42psi rear i believe after reading the article on here somewhere about this universal tyre pressure for all bike tyres being just that but perhaps that's part of the problem.

open to suggestions,anyone of similar weight & their set ups please, apologies if it's a bit de-ja-vu.thanks  8)
