Hey guys I got 27,5 AM hardtail (agressive frame) I ride street, Dirt and sometimes downhill I got shitty fork Suntour XCM 130mm I see that these dj bikes got stiff forks. On my fork I can stiff it by locking the fork on half. But it got fast rebound.. I dont know what to do with this bike? Turn it to dirt or little bit Dh what do you think about the fork settings? Stiff or soft. I think soft is better it will better pop you in air(If you know what I mean) and better on hard terrain. I already got 45mm stem, wide bars, 1x9 with Shimano sora SS. And other things to help ride dirt and dh I know Im crazy to ride Dirt with 27,5 I aint got any other bike and I cant buy new. What do you think to do with this bike? Sorry for my english
Stiff and slow rebound for riding jumps and soft and fast rebound for riding rough tech stuff. You don’t want your bike diving when jumping so get that thing solid. Set it in the middle if your doing both
