freeriding Added a reply to spring rate - YT tues

Do you have the vivid r2c? I just don't want to have a wallowy soft feel, since the 267x89 vivid r2c is configured as low compression tune and also it hasn't any hsc damping. Do you reckon i would be ok with a 300 or should i get a 275? (supple ride with support and not harsh) PS. the RS-VIVC-R2C-B3...

Thanks guys! The tues is the first changed frame in 2012. Yt told me that they don't have don't have specific baseline recommendations for bikes from that era... I think i'll go for a 325, hope it's not that stiff.

Hallo, i will install a new rockshox vivid r2c coil shock on my YT tues. 267X89 ( 10.5x3.5). What spring rate do you suggest? I am about 80-82kg race ready (175-180lbs). Tftuned calculator suggests a 265 spring rate, which seems really low, even for a 267x89 shock. The suspension lab indicates a 330.

Don't see the reasoning. If you put a fully stiff spring in this specialized system (no compression possible), when the wheel is forced to move upward won't it rotate through the lower seatstay pivot, resulting in the movement of the seatstay only?

Obviously the system works. What i am missing is the question, from an engineering's point of view. If you take a classic horst link and remove the shock, put the bike on a stand and apply upward force with your hands on the wheel, then the seatstay will rotate in the lower seatstay pivot (in a certain extent), without chainstay...

What i don't understand in the design is that when an upward force is applied, then the seatstay will rotate in the lower pivot and of course it will also rotate in the higher pivot WITHOUT any resistance -> without the shock being compressed. In other words, the seatstay with the upper link can move freely (to a certain extent)...

Hallo mate! I see that you have sram guide brakes. I want to change my brakes (codes) and I'll get either 2017 guide rsc (with S4 caliper) or hope v4. Do you have a long time the brakes? Are you satisfied? Any problems? Would you buy guides or v4? Cheers!
