Phoned Nitron to ask why over a week later i dont have my c spanner.....they are a good bunch and didnt have my phone number......they are just introducing a new tool which is a needle tool rather than a c spanner so at least ill get one of the latest tools which should hopefully be better.
I also managed to free off the rebound adjustor.....with the help of some more penetrating fluid (best aldi buy ever) annnnnnnndddddd......Mole grips :eek .........it worked though.
So i got hold of the Nitron baseline settings...the settings that they think suit the weight of rider and spring etc.....so maybe not perfect but ive read allot about folk never needing to sway from Nitron baseline......i already know I've got the correct weight spring.....there baseline is 8 clicks compression and 12 clicks rebound.
Ok so lets compare that to the apparently "set up" settings it has been on when i got it.........0 clicks compression......& what now after freeing up transpires to be 0 clicks rebound :rolleyes
I've now set them both to the Nitron baseline settings and maybe in another week i can set the preload properly.
Next on the agenda is raising my yokes back up as i clearly need more clearance......i just noticed i've slightly scuffed the left side of my belly pan like the right and i don't even like left handers......& before you start slimwilly no I'm not bullshitting and i aint no Rossi :b [size=78%] but it is what it is.....most likely less clearance....heavy lump rider and incorrect suspension set up.[/size]
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
