You know the short comings of the Z1 air. I was running 3 tokens and there was still not much support or suppleness off the top in that config and I had the right sag, now with the coil I have great support, it sits up in the travel it has zero stiction and is so supple off the top with no bottom out. Obviously not as progressive but perfect support and grip. I fall perfectly in the weight range for the firm spring rate Marzocchi have. Mate had a Vorsprung Smashpot in a Fox 36 rhythm and raved about it too. I’m sold on the coils. 👌🏻 thanks for watching, Telly

When you said 35-40, wife, kids, mortgage, middle of the road bike, budget, it's like you're talking directly to me.... I am 37 and wanting to get a middle of the road bike and tick all of those boxes... Anyway, what are some key components you reckon I should look out for on a secodn hand dual suspension between 1500-2000 to start me off on my mtb journey. I've ridden skid kids, commuters, but want to get into mtb with my sons and nephew now. Cheers and great vids

Well done! What spring is in the fork? Hard, probably? How much do you weigh?

i want to do the same thing to my GT force. How much do you weigh? and what spring rate did you use for the CR?
@nigehill
@nigehill Жыл бұрын
I’ve switched to the Linear spring rate now and it works better than the PR spring. I used the TF Tuned spring rate calculator on the NSDynamics web site. Pick the firmer sag range

If you fall in the range of the coil spring rates on the Marzocchi chart I’d say it’s work it. They’re two different forks but the 38 is a very plush fork, maybe look at your set up before you spend the money

@@nigehill you say something true: set up The air fork correctly. Having a kid and being 38yrs let’s me less and less be willing to tinker with the infinite combination of air pressure, volume reducers and even grip damper settings. From a coil I expect to put the right or too firm spring, leaver the damper open on the downs and that’s it
What's better, air or coil sprung fork?
