Anyone tried a Megneg on a SuperDeluxe Ultimate  (L / L tune) on an Orange. I am using it with just one click on the LSC and mid way on the rebound.

I have a Five and was wondering what difference it would make / options it would give me

Thanks in advance.

I'm going to give this a bump as I have thought about doing the same on my Switch 6

Many thanks !

Had a strong beer and ordered one anyway. Probably be fitting it next weekend. Will see if it is a waste of £70 or not.

Saw this thread a while back so thought I'd post up my experience in case others are considering it. In short, definitely worth it for me. Just installed one on my stage 5 and it feels great from the off (best guess settings) with lots more tuning options to play with. Without wanting to sound like a piece of marketing regurge, running the same sag it's more supportive in the mid stroke and harder to bottom out despite removing 2 tokens. Oh I missed supple off the top. What it says on the tin innit.

Still trying to get mine to work well. Having to run it at a much higher pressure. Didn't like it with one band so taken one token out and put all three bands in now. Not ridden it much since.

I found I liked a Megneg on both my Aeris and aether with 2 bands in and no positive tokens.

I tried it initially with no bands (so the biggest negative spring) and then 1 band but had to run too much pressure to get the sag I wanted and I then found it too harsh. 2 bands on both those bikes worked well.

I'm running 1 band and one token at the minute and it feels pretty good. Had to up the pressure by 40psi to 220. Might try 2 bands and dropping the pressure a touch. As is the bike feels alot more efficient than before, doesn't bog down as much on pedalling and seems to carry speed better. I'd say if you're finding the pressure too high then sticking all the bands in sounds like a good idea (4 in total though right?). How many tokens have you got in there? I had 3 in before and dropped it to 1 and it's still more difficult to bottom out because of the pressure increase. Also might be worth backing off lsc?
