hey all
I have a set of 2016 160mm 27.5 rct3 pikes that are simply awful for small bumps etc - this seems to be a fairly common complaint on google although some people have managed to make it better. But this seems really bad.
The only fork i have to compare it to is an old 26er open bath fox. The pikes aren't a little bit worse, they feel closer to a budget coil fork but with the added benefit of diving really badly when turning and braking
I've followed the guides in setting the air pressure, rebound and compression for my weight (~65-70)
I've opened it up to check everything, regrease it etc but it didn't make too much difference
I have taken out the 2 tokens that were in there and that 'seems' like it's made a change when rolling around in the back yard although they're still pretty divey
are there any cheap ways to improve stuff ($40-50)? any more and its probably better for me to flip them and get something else. it has the solo air shaft, is the b1 debonair that much of a difference?
