Mega Float

[WinderFab]

Does the mega float shock need to be broken in like spring shocks?
I was riding and I have it set at 150psi and thought it was a little on the hard side, will be doing more riding the end of the week to see,
I'm more concern on the stutters then going though big washouts,
They say not to run it below 140 psi, does anybody know what will happen if you run it a little lower like 130 psi just to say...

Thanks

FW I understand...get the rear on a stand to adjust the presuure....if you are setting it on the ground you have more pressure than whats read...thereby the stiffness..

One lb of air is a big difference under the 150 lbs I weigh 200 lbs and run it 150lbs I tried it at 147 and I was bottoming out.

RollRite
At 147 were you bottoming on trails or ditch banging,
How do you like the mega float so far?

whenever you find the ride you want but are bottoming...adjust the transfer rod to min....and see the difference

I'm at full transfer now..
What will happen at min transfer..?

Thanks

full transfer = for hookup / traction
min transfer = for ride quality and handling..

if you are at the full end of the spectrum you will blow through the shock easier on bigger bumps...especially with lower air spring pressure....

if youre out riding and like the setup on the groomed and smooth and then it gets rough....its easier to me to dial out the transfer while trail riding to obtain better big bump compliance...it will feel firmer through the stutters though

When I ride the trails I was bottoming at 147LBS I am at the stock settings ride was great till you hit a bigger bump that is why I went to 150lbs much better on the bigger bumbs

Thanks guys

Wow... only a few psi and that much difference...

RollRite I see we are about the same lbs, I'm about 15lbs lighter, I got mine at 150 also
My transfer is to max, going to play with that to see the difference,

I would like to dail the shock to handle the stutters even if i have to give up big bump capabilities

I like to play with my things so I'll post any info I can...
