Any mtb'ers come on in...
Whats up guys, my Dh bike has sat for over a year now, and i just started riding it around again and my rear shock is all wack, Its a 5th element. Does anybody here have any clue how to tune these things for the rider? in the manual it keeps saying refer to the quick start guide, which i dont have. If anyone has any know how on these shocks post it up.

What kind of bike?
Usually, you set them for about 75-80% of rider weight, but thats on a race XC bike like mine.
We should have a BAIC mountain biking trip sometime - my brand new 2005 Santa Cruz Superlight should arrive in about 2 weeks!

I tune bikes for a living blur. Let me know if youd like your bike tuned. I can do simple tunes all the way to complete overhauls on just about any bicycle. Alot of times what your experienceing is normal from a bike thats been sitting for awhile.

I'm down for a BAIC mountain bike trip.
Any of you downhillers and freeriders check out http://msdhw.com/
It's the "Bay Area Downhill Freeride" forum. XC guys won't have much interest probably.
I have an 05 Specialized SX with a custom build. Just sold my 04 Turner DHR about a month ago. Let me know when and where you guys ride except I'm not into XC

I live here in San Jose, I work at Sportmart as a Technician (Bikes during the summer and Ski/Snowboard Tunes and repairs for Winter). Bring it by if you are in the area. If not, i have a portable stand, and tools. We could always meet, shoot the **** about cars while i tune.
