MegNeg setup ( Not the shark kind)

[DMan]

I'm running a MegNeg on my Cube Stereo on a Rockshox Super Delux select plus shock. I've had it for a bit and finally decided it's the firm midstroke that I don't like. Initial compliance is good but the midstroke is far too harsh and I'm struggling to get full travel. At the moment I'm been running no negative bands and 1 positive spacer. I'm going to remove the positive spacer and add 2 bands. My thoughts are that should lower the shock pressure slightly, hopefully decrease the firmness in midstroke and allow me to get to full travel. Any Megneg users here? Am I on the right track?

I've got a megneg on my privateer 161. I really like it. I'd drop the pressure in 5 psi increments until you start getting near full travel as a start and then start tuning the mid stroke and progression with bands. I'd also wind off any compression damping as a base too.

I'm at 30% sag with the air pressure and still can't use full travel.

I realise it's very bike dependant, but how many tokens and bands are you running? If you're feeling brave tell me your weight too

Im 80kg and running the shock at 200psi, 1 + air can token and 1 - air can band (i think, might be 2). I run mine at closer to 35% sag.
