This has been nagging me for a while, recently got back from Spain where I had the opportunity to take a day off to go riding in the Sierra Nevada area

Had a rental Spesh Enduro, didn't really look to see the set up on the rear .. strangely enough on the climbs I didn't feel that much bob. However there were a couple of slow technical occasions where I felt I was being 'bucked' I am quite sure I had my weight planted firmly through the COG..

I've ridden in Whistler on a Giant Glory but didn't experience this
1) is the linkage system
2) soft set up
3) technique

anyone have any thoughts

Pedal feedback? What's the chain growth like on an Enduro?

not enough rebound surely

or

bucked - rebound too fast

Now I'm confused, can see reasons for both but I would have gone with rebound too fast.

^ as above. Would have initially thought too fast.

same thing seavers - not enough rebound (damping) means that rebound is too fast

Well that makes more sense now.

Thank you.

My head hurts. It's been a long day! So rebound is too fast if you don't dial in enough rebound dampening?

Yes, less rebound damping = fast
More rebound damping = slower

Not enough rebound damping will do that. The spring element of the shock is rebounding too quickly giving you a bucking sensation. More rebound damping slows down how fast the shock can extend to it's original length.

That is how I understood it.

But

plyphon - Member not enough rebound surely
Threw me off and hence brain freeze.

I see now he means dampening
