In modern MTB suspension news; I pulled my Smashpot out today to re-order the shim stack. I read a few things online from people saying the stock stack is a bit much for sub 200lbs riders. Actually super easy (if incredibly messy) job, so I moved all but one shim over. Hoping this means the HBO gives me a more usable adjustment range now, as even one or two clicks stopped me getting full travel. With a higher spring rate for steep stuff, and HBO off, I couldn't use the last 2cm of travel as hard as I tried
Ah was it fairly simple to do? I've never bothered messing with the HBO shim stack. I'm in the 220lbs riders club but still feel like only two or three click has it ramp up too much.
