I think I need some help with the suspension setup of my Slash 8. It feels like I have not reached the best the suspension can do for me.
With clothes and stuff I should be around 90kg. Maybe there is someone with similar dimensions and can give me an advice?
Thanks!
Have you been on the trek set up page? https://suspension.trekbikes.com/nz/en#calculator
RockShox Lyrik RC, DebonAir, Charger 2 @90kg gives 83 PSI, 8 clicks of rebound and sag is 26mm RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate Thru Shaft @90kg 215PSI, 4 clicks of rebound and sag is 19mm
This will give you a good base setting to start from. Then go out and ride it. change one thing at a time and note how it feels. If it gets better great, if worse go the other way.
Hey guys, anyone else installed the old tokens (red) on the 2021 Super Deluxe? The manual says that only the new purple token are compatible.
For me the Red token fits (not flushed all the way as intended) and seems to be working fine, i should be worried with premature wear, the token unclip and become loose or something like that?
Maybe i'll just try to trim the token to fit like the purple, as i can tell the only difference is the notches at the border.
Maybe Mitch have something to add about the tokens.

Are the tokens out of stock or something? Seems like an expensive risk to take (damaging the shock) when the correct parts are relatively cheap.
I'm not sure Trek will have much to say other than follow RockShox's directions

Yes, i coudn’t find anywhere online, not even out of stock. I just trim one of my tokens to match the picture of the purple at the service manual, a 5 minute job. Now it’s flush and tight at the shaft as it should be. Problem solved.

I had to do some digging on this one, but I was able to find the correct part numbers for the tokens needed for the Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate ThruShaft.

Hello all. I'm in the process of greasing some pivot bolts and pulled out the rocker through bolt and wasn't paying attention to the spacers that fell out. Trying to figure out if these go on the inside, up against the bearing or on the outside, next to the bolt head. I'm sure there's an obvious answer. I just want to confirm before I do any damage.

Those go on the inside by the bearing. I use a little muc off grease to help hold them in place, makes a huge difference.

Thanks man. That's what I thought. I started with the drive side but getting the washer in there on the non-drive side was tight. I'll try the grease trick to see if it works
My 9.8 XT is on order and I noticed some reviews saying they wish it had a longer dropper post. The only 34.9 I see online is the one 200mm. I am trying to decipher that it wont have too long of an insertion depth. Anyone else install something longer?
