Hey guys,
Ended up getting a GT Force Carbon Expert for a really good price, but having some trouble getting it to feel nice.
It feels kinda twitchy and uncertain in the front end, especially over bumps or sharp corners, almost like the front wheel wants to go sideways and under the bike. It's taken me back a notch and made me a lot less confident. The back feels a little firm, but overall not too bad, but the front just feels really wrong.
So far all I've done is fiddle with the fork and shock pressure a bit, but doesn't seem to make a big difference, reverted back to the recommended sag. Also switched to tubeless and lowered the pressure to 25ish.
It has Magic Mary tyres front and rear, which I suspect might add to the squirminess on hard pack. I've also heard that bumping it up to a 170mm fork might help balance it out a bit better, but that's an expensive experiment.
Any advice on what to change to get it feeling better?
Cheers.
