Sup :twisted:

Looking for someone who has some info about suspension settings. I am considering lending someone my bike to take the race school in April but there is a bit of a weight difference between us and I was wondering if anything could be adjusted with the suspension in order to make the bike more rideable for her.

I have racetech 1.0's in the front, and an ohlins rear. She weighs about 130lbs so maybe 140 with gear. Is there anything I can do to make the bike more rideable for her.

Thanks in advance!

I guess you could soften the compression and slow down the rebound???

How skilled of a racer is this person? Will she even notice the suspension isn't set correctly?

I'm assuming she is a newbie and will never even notice. If she doesn't already have a race bike, she is probably used to a street bike which 9 out of 10 times isn't set correctly anyways.
