Successful Fettle

[flatflr]

Not been out on the bike this week as suffering with with man flu (or might have been ebloa), but did have the chance to play around and set up my forks (RS Rebas).
Two things to say:
First is, wow what an difference it made, they were originally set up for somebody much heavier than me, adjusted them and so much better
Second is that the kitchen is such a nice place to fettle, much better than the shed!

Awesome.

Rebas are great when properly fettled, and in my humblest of opinions can be set a tad softer than the recommended rates.

Recommeded rates felt way to high, only using about 60% of travel with about 10% sag. Ended up about 15psi lower than the + and 20psi lower than the -.

Yep recommended pressures best ignored. Enjoy your Rebas

I think they are a "guide", but all the forums say to ignore them

Yeah, I'd read a lot about them on here before I got them, so I just asked for setting up advice here and never even looked at anything from Rock Shox.
