Time to adjust your suspension or get a heavier weight spring. Your seat shouldn't hit your back tire and guide shouldn't hit the ground... But cool pic..

nice calf!

brooklynrider (Sep 13, 2008 at 10:22)

tremblay you know that he could have just hucked somthing big and that would bottom out the suspention as well, btw heavier springs on a dh bike make the ride suck and put more stress on the shock

boat (Dec 20, 2008 at 4:21)

actually i threw on a heavier spring onto my sunday. it rides a thousand times better.
and shocks are made for the tiny amount of stress from the coil. Its the frame that takes the stress not the shock.

melonhead1145 (Jan 18, 2009 at 3:43)

theres nothing wrong with bottoming out, whats the point in have 9.5 inches of travel in this case (cos its an M3) and only using 8 of the inches of travel. some people are stupid

HIRIG-MONSTER (Jan 18, 2009 at 12:34)

good poit!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hodgtom07 (Jan 21, 2009 at 11:38)

its an m3 btw at least hes riding it properly

tremblay (Feb 11, 2009 at 7:33) (Below Threshold) show comment

I have had 3 downhill bikes ... stinky, shore 2, and a banshee chapperal ... If there is nothing wrong with bottoming out, why would they sell heavier weight springs?

hodgtom07 (Feb 11, 2009 at 8:18)

for heavier people. tf say you should run 25% sag but i have rode that and felt to soft because im not a smooth rider. so i run about 10% so they do different weight springs for how people like there bike setup.

melonhead1145 (Feb 11, 2009 at 11:29)

you should bottom once or twice every harsh ride! the reason for heavier springs is to avoid harsh bottoms out. which arent good for you bike. and can be painful for you.

pebbles (Feb 15, 2009 at 12:49)

innit everyone knows that .... well most people ^^^^

Reading through the comments on this pic is so evident that there are a lot of people out there that claim to understand the mechanics and physics of downhill mountainbikes. THEY DONT, THEY REALLY DONT.
Ive just been reading through some of the so called mechanics comments on here, and to be quite honest its comical.

bikes arent meant to bottom out they are meant to keep from bottoming out...so that must be a pretty big ass drop to have a flat landing like that

+ 13

cheetaprowlerdh (May 29, 2008 at 16:26)

no, not quite...
suspension is a mechanism used to make things a little less harsh on the rider and make the bike track terrain much more instead of skipping around... henceforth making the bike and/or the rider faster, not to keep the bike from bottoming out...
thats what a progressive or a hucking setup is for, the suspension is valved and sprung to do its best to avoid bottoming out... a purely DH setup is meant to lay pavement over anything it can handle... and in my opinion, a DH setup should have no trouble bottoming out even off a 3' drop...
i have 9" of travel on my bike, and i bottom it out(the rear at least... my fork needs a rebuild and the PAR chamber taken out Razz

) off of what seems like everything... but you know what, its the fastest damn thing i've ever ridden!

valve your suspension right and learn how to really ride a bike, and its easy to get the best of both worlds though!
i just need to learn how to valve mine Razz

i mean BMX bikes are eternally bottomed out if you think about it... are they meant to be that way? i'm pretty damn sure!
