I've been riding a fully rigid fatty for years so feeling a bit of a novice when coming to tuning a full suss.
It is for an orbea oiz tr, lightweight xc if that makes a difference.
My main issue is when riding gently rolling lumps, it feels like I'm in a boat at sea.
So is the fix for the rear, more or less air, faster or slower?
Help appreciated.
If you set your sag right, around 25% front and rear, perhaps more rear, then your air pressure will be right. Then you set your rebound. I like to ride off a decent sized kerb, watching the suspension. You want it to compress then rebound fast enough to rebound once past the sag point then settle. If it is oscillating then it’s too fast, if it’s not no passing the sag on return at all it’s probably too slow. It sounds like you might be a bit soft.
Is it Fox stuff? If so well worth googling the recommended rebound clicks for the pressure you are running
Once that is set then you could add low speed compression via a blue dial or lever if you want less wallow
But not the pressure that is set above starting with sag
