7/21/2020 3:17am I now run 3 bands and 1 token (gnardog was way too much), 30% sag, open LSC, and +3 of R from open. It's the best setting so far. It resembles the stock character but with a more playful behavior, to the point where I had to slow down 1 click of R. I started with +2 and chose +3...

I weigh 180# and ride a large Foxy 29 with an Avalanche tuned Rockshox RT3 shock and added the MegNeg sometime back. The LR on my bike is Progressive - Linear - Regressive. This sort of has the effect of having a great pedaling platform, maybe using travel a bit too quick at times, and then it will bottom if it doesn't have an air shock w/ some volume reducers. I don't know enough about suspension to really know ahead of time if the MegNeg was a good fit for my whip and my riding style (endless natural chunk with...

Back in the day at Norba Nationals and World Cups at Big Bear and Mammoth, the euros would come over to race and have no clue how to handle the moon dust. It's fun to watch pros flail sometimes. Especially when you're rooting for an American.

6/24/2020 8:38am First of all, keep same sag as with your current shock so you can experience the difference. RS says its best to start with 2 bands and removing 1-2 positive chamber spacers. MegNeg will require more psi. Go ride and take notes. Then make changes according to feel. It's a puzzle.

6/23/2020 5:12am Nice! What kind of rebound damping or lsc? I've got 30-32% sag, 3-2 clicks of rebound from open, and lsc is usually full open.

6/22/2020 7:42am Hello! My name is Alex, I am 5ft 8in/173cm, weigh about 145lbs/65kg, and I have been riding mountain bikes for 15 years. My V3 Bronson CC needed some bottom-out resistance and after giving it some thought, I decided to purchase the MegNeg upgrade kit. While installing the kit, I noticed that the stock air can had one GnarDog spacer in...

That's correct. He is very light, but a hard charger. We ride a lot of rocky natural terrain type tracks.

6/20/2020 5:26am Thanks for sharing this info. I didn't quite understand you in the end. Do you mean that your friend now runs the MegNeg with no bands and one spacer?

6/20/2020 2:14am Thanks for the feedback! To be honest, I've watched this video several times and it helped me decide to buy it. You mentioned that TR Patrol didn't require a positive token reduction. How many were you using?

For a lighter dude go less on the negative side, try 1 band or even zero. I put one in my old stumpy evo, had gnar dog and full to the brim with spacers prior to the megneg, afterwards I was down to 1 small spacer in the positive and 2 in the negative and that worked best for me. I sold that bike and so gave the shock to my buddy who is your weight approx, he put it on a Trek Fuel EX and we had to take 2 bands out of the negative because off the top...

This one is on you! The MegNeg requires some back-to-back testing to determine what works best for your bike, your trails, and your riding style. The process will teach you a lot about your preferences and how things function. This video contains a sample of how to go about it beginning at 3:09. Have fun out there!

According to the wheel description in the link you provided, you cannot run a 12-speed drivetrain. The 11-speed Shimano XT group is still really great and should be totally compatible with your wheels.
