Are you still on the Tracer/Jade? I'm looking at getting a Jade for my Tracer and would be curious to know your thoughts and setup info if you are or remember how it was.

Hi,

Yes, I am. I love it so much I don't see myself ever going back to air. I'm fairly heavy (105kg) so I run a 650lb coil. In terms of settings, I initially started with the DVO recommended settings which were fairly close to perfect. I eventually settled on 2-3 of clicks firmer on both compression settings and faster on the rebound. I find the dials do their job very well and the changes you make are noticeable. They also have a very wide range of adjustment on all three settings available.

When I first got the bike it took a bit of an adjustment to my pedalling style when going uphill. There was a fair amount of suspension movement due to the sensitivity of the coil and the way I pedalled but it didn't take long to adapt and as I mentioned, moving the LSC dial helped also.

Finally, I have nothing but good things to say about DVO. The products are flawless. Best suspension I ever had and their customer service is amazing. I never had any issues with either the fork or the shock but I sent them a few emails about servicing etc. and they always replied the same day and were extremely helpful.
