Hi all Just looking for some words of wisdom about the 2015 Blade I acquired recently. Riding B roads (that's where I ride the most) I have found the front suspension to be fine and pretty compliant but the rear is transmitting bumps just a wee too much to my bottom and back. Would it be best to slightly increase the Rebound a bit? Thanks Ed
Depending on weight and riding style, search the forum, there are several fast road setups. This set up works well for a 12stone rider (dry) + riding kit. Usual rules, use it at your own risk, and if you don't know what you are doing get a pro to do it for you, it also assumes your bike is in good working order.
