Adjusting Shock Absorber Settings


 Low speed settings are all that most shocks have.  High end models also have a high speed adjuster.

In general, I have found I like minimal compression damping and maximal rebound damping.

The compression affects how hard the jolts coming into the chassis feel to me.  Less compression makes for softer bumps.

Rebound affects how high I get bounced out of the seat after a big hit.  More rebound means less bouncing.

I go for a compression setting that is as soft as possible with only occasional bottoming out.

I go for a rebound setting that keeps me in the seat.
