Reba air pressures

« on: July 31, 2009, 09:03:52 PM »

Anyone running one and if so...what are your pressures when loaded? I'm running 125+ and 125- right now but it feels like it's sagging way too much. I weigh 160 and have about 10lbs. of gear on the bike.

I've used 105 pos., 90 neg. for years. I don't carry enough stuff on trips to feel that a change in pressure is needed.

I'm 190 pounds and run 125psi pos, not sure what my neg pressure is, my shock pump broke.

I had an older version Reba bought in 2007, kind of flimsy fork, but never leaked. I just installed the 2009 Reba, much better fork, but I've had problems with it leaking.

I should get my new shock pump tomorrow, I'll check my pressures and post them.

The negative pressure affects the initial travel most. Having the negative pressure higher than the positive makes initial travel quite soft, having it lower than the pos makes initial travel firmer. Try backing your negative pressure down to 110-115, that should get rid of some of the sag. Usually when loaded I'll take 10 PSI out of the neg chamber but leave the positive chamber as is, that seems to have things similar to the unloaded state.
