2007 RockShox Reba Team with Poploc

[soreback]

i just ordered a new 2007 RockShox Reba Team fork with Poploc (got a smokin' deal online). In looking over all of the bells and whistles that this thing has, can anyone who has one provide any quick tips for it that arent in the documentation thats gonna come with it? thanks in advance

Unless things have changed, the air pressures recommended by Rock Shox are way too high. I'd start with a PSI of 60% of your weight in the positive and 40% of your weight in the negative. You can adjust the negative to dial in how plush you want it to be.


I put in the positive air pressure and then pump up the negative until the fork _just_ starts to compress (i.e. Negative pressure is starting to overcome positive pressure).

Setting up these forks can be a bit of a pain, but they're great once you get them dialed in.
