Any advice warmly welcome

Cheers

Mark

I've had a couple of those and think I'm normally about 250psi, with 30% sag. And I weigh about 12st.

So it doesn't sound too unexpected.

I'm sure others will have more useful advice, but if not maybe give TF Tuned a bell.

In general heavier riders can benefit from the smaller aircan. Otherwise you might blow through the travel. That's the experience I had. A HV air can made a massive difference from the debonair I had before.

300+ on mine too, & ive added a band into the negative chamber to stop it blowing through the travel (suggested by a suspension tuner)
