Hi folks!

Just fit DVO Jade on my Giant Reign '15 and had a riding week on it. Feels great and plush, no problems on drops and landings, but it bottoms out heavily when you take a fast strikes on high speed. Increasing HSC doesn't help it much.

I wonder if I could fix it by changing stock shimstack? To make it more progressive.

78kg (172lbs) kitted and 450 spring with 30% sag. Also have 500 spring wich gives 25% sag, but it feels too harsh.

Alright gang of the green!

I'm just wanting to know if DVO forks come with shock pumps in with the box?

Also are they fairly straight forward to set up compared with say BOS?

thanks in advance.
:-)

Fairly sure they come with a shock pump but don't quote me as my fork and shock were second hand so didn't come with them.

I had DVO Diamonds when I had my nomad, nice and easy to set up, takes a bit of fiddling but doesn't take much to get the sweet spot.

No pump. The only adjustments are air pressure, OTT, rebound, HSC, and LSC so no I don't think they are hard to set up but YMMV.
