IQS for 300lb rider

[cannondale27]

Has anyone been able to successfully hack the IQS canbus controller to modify adjustability of the shocks? I am leaning towards ditching IQS and going with Custom Axis.

Sadly no.

As a guy that is in the 6’5” 300+ range myself I have replaced my stock shocks with Elka. I would send them to hugest to valve and spring. Hygear kept trying to give me the stock torsion springs, what I did find worked out well for torsions though is I went to hygear personally and they gave me a stock torsion that is the heaviest one they carry for procross. I ran it on full soft (maybe would have done 1 or both torsions 1 size down) but on full soft they worked amazing for a trail sled. Drag racing they did not want to transfer much but still loved it in the rough stiff and even the small bumps! I think they called it a 409 or 427 springs something like that.

Add a lot of rebound to the shocks when they revalve. The feeling of a shock with lots of rebound in them lets you land like a cat nice and stable. The stock shocks have so much rebound you feel the sled rebounding more than you do the size of the bump!

So are you saying add Faster rebound or Slower?I think rear is too slow.

I think rear is too slow.

You know where I stand on the rear QS3r shock....way too slow stock. Like you I'm really confused on fxnytrortxkid take. I agree with getting torsion springs for rider weight.
