ccdb coil - HSC

I have a yt tues 2012, the LR chart is this:


Very progressive, with a low starting LR and a very very low ending LR.
At sag (30%) the LR is ~2.65.

Cane creek proposes for this frame 2.5 turns for HSC, which i find really high.

For reference, santa cruz v10 has this LR chart



at sag (30%) the LR is ~3.45 and cane creek proposes just 1 (one!!!) turn of HSC!!!

I can't find any logic in this.

Now i have 1.5 turn of HSC in my tues, and i find that in heavy sudden hits (big rocks and roots), that the rear suspension is kicking, so that my feet lose momentary the contact with the pedals.

My spring rate is ok, and the rebound settings are ok too. The LSC is also quite low at 10 clicks from supple.

Should i lower the HSC to 0.5-0.75 turn, or do you think it will be too low?

Sounds like you need to find a trail you can session, wind off HSC entirely and do a run then increase by half a turn and go again. Keep going at half turns for 4 or 5 runs and see how it feels.

Try and keep notes each time and see what feels best.

Have you run the shock on another bike? Have you ruled out the shock being faulty?
