Rear shock/ suspension
#4
You don't really say what you mean by the riding experience is not pleasant and you are finding the limits of the suspension, there may be tweaks you can make to improve this on the existing suspension. Most folks believe that if suspension is too soft and bottoming out you need to add more preload on the springs when in fact the starting point should be dialling in more compression damping, a couple of clicks at a time and checking if this has made the ride better or worse. A £20 jack-up kit will help as it not only puts more weight on the front to improve steering it also slightly changes the geometry of the rear suspension firming up the compression characteristics of the rear shock. Dropping the yokes down the forks also helps with steering response taking more weight from the rear of the bike (at this point you may want to add a bit more preload to the front).
