• Maybe get some light inserts and drop the pressure a bit? What sort of fork is it? My Sid ultimate runs at stupid low basically and I still don't seem to bottom out.

  • I think that’s the answer, just go somewhere I can ride laps and keep dropping the pressure.
    I have no problem on loose rock like we get in the peaks but rooty soft loam in forests and bumpy grass field paths and I’m screwed! Feels like my seat bounces me up and down constantly on that stuff.

  • Can't help you there. Very few pine needle forestry spots in South Australia. It's pretty much all loose or hard rock stuff or a mixture of those over here.

  • Sounds like a hardtail. But your pressure is quite high. Hardtails are work to ride and need to be moved. You cannot get away with being a passenger like you can on a hardtail.

    I'm 74 kg and run 20/22 f/r on my hardtail. But I doubt you'll eliminate the feeling you're having totally with just pressure. I do now run inserts (cush core xc) always and slightly more pressure than I use to, but if you've alu rims the worst will be a puncture not a cracked rim.
