Hyperpro shock for GRiSO 1100

It's sad, but unfortunately many times you believe your are relying in professional technicians that end up doing stupid mistakes, either by being dishonest or ignorants....
That's why many times - if I have access to reliable information, and the necessary tooling & skills- I prefer to do things myself.

it s perfectly true.
If you want a things be done carefully, do it yourself

the problem is that it needs:
time
space
tools
knowhow



Anyway in the next days i want to refine the setting, hoping to get back more feeling with the bike when in turns [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I recently did the static sag test just standing behind the bike and pulling the C-bow carrier up: I should be quite in the ballpark of 15 mm, as it is less than 2 cm and more than 1 cm ...

I was so much looking forward to a long tour scheduled for months, that would have led me from Salzburg over Italy, Slovenia and Croatia up to Sarajevo. But with snow expected down to 1.500 MSL and 7-9°C we will postpone it. The weather-god hates me!

If you increased the sag in the rear ,you might feel the bike resists a bit more lenning into the corners.
In that case you might need to lower the front a bit...
If the front sag is OK you can try dropping the forks a bit (more rings showing on the fork tubes). I did that on mine a couple of years ago and the difference was noticeable...

@Mathias: What is your setting for the number of rings showing on the fork?

Currently 4...
There's a pole about fork position in the forum:

Despite the last spring i've used, i currently running with LESS sag.
Infact the bike seems clearly higher.

I think i can get more preload remaining in the correct range of sag. But before touching anything else i need to do some turns (this need a long ride because there isn't near my home)  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
