Domiracer suspension settings?

Hello All,

has anyone made any changes to their DR suspension settings yet please? With the quality of B & C roads in Northumberland, a little more give is needed. The owners manual is not DR specific, it is generic 961 which has different front and rear suspension parts.

Cheers

On my 961 Sport I've ended up softening off the front forks both in terms of taking some preload off (Now 4 rings showing instead of 3) and a couple of clicks of both compression and rebound damping.

Whilst the forks are different to yours I'd suggest doing this as I could feel the difference on mine straight away. I've left the rear as is for now as the changes to the front seemed to help sufficiently.

Also try using a cable tie placed around one of the fork legs to see how much travcel you're using. You're aiming for 10-20mm left between the tie and the bottom of the leg.

Good Morning Lee,

I think you might be onto something, there is a plastic collar on the fork leg and there is more than 20mm travel available. I'll give it a go.

Cheers
