Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Thanks for the replies.

I checked the pressure with my other pump and got pretty much the same pressure. I have used the pumps on another bike and got pretty much bang on the manufacturer's predicted numbers so I don't think they are massively innacurate.

It is interesting that someone else with a SID Luxe has the same issue. It is a physically small shock so I wonder if it produces less force for the same pressure than the others that have been mentioned (smaller area for the pressure to act on?). I don't know if there is a way of finding out this information for different shocks?

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Regarding the sag; For me, I need the SID luxe stuffed with volume spacers to get 35% sag at full pressure, which also results in never using the bottom quarter or so of the travel. My hope is that a bigger shock without volume spacers will use more of the travel. The desire to lift the sag into to 25-30% range is due to the extremely low bottom bracket; when tired in an XC race then minimising the need to manage pedal strikes over roots is desirable! If the sag is a bit less, then the bottom bracket is marginally higher. It probably doesn't make much difference, but having low sag makes you mad at those points!
