Evening folks, looking for a wee bit of advice please.
If just fitted a Delux coil Ultimate to my Nomad 4. So I've set up the base settings with preload and rebound as per Santa Cruz website but there's no mention of low speed compression so I've put it in the middle.
RS has some tuning guides in multiple languages. I start off with the curb drop test. Set the rebound so there is one oscillation just past neutral as you ride off a curb sitting down, then the bike should settle at neutral. Speed up or slow down as necessary. Then go ride a 1-2 min section of trail that you know and has a good mix of hits. Ride it once, then go 2 clicks one way on rebound. Did it feel better or worse. If worse no go 4 clicks the other way so you are 2 past your original. Ride again and better or worse. From there its a click one way then another the other until you get it how you like it. Sorry can't help you with an exact number of clicks to start with.
