interested to hear about peoples set-ups and experiences? spring rates / clicks here, knob turns there / rider weight / rider style etc etc.
i have one, its my first ever coil. only one ride in and feels amazing. dont even know how much LSC, HSC, or LSR im running but its a 600lb spring and im 85kg.
Bought it from Mojo Rising? Give them a call
nah im happy with it, just wanted to open a discussion with other users
Hi Mahalo, I'm 92Kg, riding flats, bike is Evil Offering. Running 575lb spring with 1 turn preload, LSC 6 clicks from open, HSC 7 clicks from open. Rebound is fully closed and it is still a touch fast for my liking so I will need to get it revalved I think. I also have a 550lb spring which gives too much sag so going to swap it for a 600 as I think I'll need the heavier spring during the drier summer months. I found that I had to run a much heavier spring to what was initially recommended. What bike do you have it on and how do you find the rebound speed with the 600 spring?
Hi neil. It’s a stumpy evo. New bike with the new shock so a lot of change to get to grips with in one go. The 600 spring feels great but like I say I’ve not much experience to compare it too. I also have a 550lb so will try that out soon. It’s also pretty freakin’ grim out there at the moment too so riding is a bit erratic to make good judgement. Hopefully get an uplift day in the diary soon to have a proper play...

Don't think about sag, how is the bottom out performance? It's both a speed and position sensitive bypass valve shock, therefore it's capable of running softer sag. Look into having the bottom out resistance increased - that's the advantage of the Arma over the Storia, it can be adjusted externally.
Hi Raybanwomble it's the rebound speed that is too fast for my liking even when fully closed. Bottom out performance is perfect with the 575 spring. With the 550 spring I had frequent and sometimes violent bottom outs.
Hi Maholo, yes that's the problem I had as conditions were fast and dry when I first got the shock and was still dialing it in when conditions turned slower and muddy!
