Monoshock - Effects of Transfer on Ride / Bottoming

[Bigmax]

On the old no-action ProAction suspension, when you increased the gap on the transfer rods to get more transfer, you also caused the suspension to be un-coupled longer and made it ride softer and it had more of a tendency to bottom out.

Questions is, is there any correlation between the transfer rod setting on the mono shock and how soft the suspension rides? On my SRX I could notice a huge difference by just moving my adjustable rods 1/8 of an inch and would typically run the rods with a little bit smaller gap because it helped with the bottoming. Will decreasing the transfer on the Mono do the same thing?

Thanks,

No there is no similar effect.

That was one of the marketing things in the early mono introduction was the 'uncoupling' of ride and wt shift.


I had mine set for less wt shift last year, thinking I could rail better under throttle, and I could. BUT I think I am safer when I think OK out of the throttle for more ski pressure rather than ' Oh nail it I think it will stick'. :ORC

Thanks Yamadoo!

I was actually hoping that the ProAction and the Mono worked more similarly, and that I could make this thing not bottom out on every bump without revalving the shock. LOL
