I know there's a lot of clued up folks here, so maybe someone can help.
Going by Race Tech's spring calculator, I've put the recommended stiffer spring on the back of my bike and raised the air pressure in my AER48's also to their recommended pressure.
As I don't have the time at the moment to send things off to be re-valved, as a band aid fix I put all the clickers to the manuals stiffer recommendation.
Does that sound like a fair effort in the meantime before getting it set up for my fat ass, or is there anything else you could suggest? Faster rebound and extra compression to make up for the extra weight dragging down lighter valved suspension maybe?
Makes sense to just do it by feel I guess, but I'm too old, slow and out of practice to tell really and 99% of it is just me needing to put in work on and off the bike, so there's that, but I figure anything that helps is worthwhile.
Thanks!
