Nope
Yeah definitely going to drop them. I used the Rockshox app, entered the shock serial #'s and my weight, probably selected XC as the riding style which may have been a mistake. Most of what I ride is pretty XC with a few blue trail type jumps in there. It was definitely the jumps where I had a problem.
Thanks for the pressure recommendations mate, much appreciated.

Hunted the Wilderpeople. Considering the trail names on Trailforks, I think I'm glad I didn't find any.
@ozzybmx This place could be your home away from your holiday home. Trails are short, but compete pretty heavily with Melrose for surface construction. Too many rocks? Here, have another serving of them!

Let the faffing/puzzling begin!
I'm around 110kgs, below was some of my settings on a 140-150mm RS Revelation. Definitely 100-110psi is the ballpark for that weight.

A load of them have had work done on them by TrailScapes and Bike Melrose, hopefully primo by Fat Tyre Festival next week.

Thanks heaps mate.
Might get to printing some tokens then.
How did you find the Debonair upgrade?
Dropped the pressures to those suggested by @ozzybmx (thanks again) for this morning's ride, very much an approvement over the jumps.
Finally hit the last of the features I've not done on that track before and punched out a few PR's according to Strava.

Just remember that the chain plates are marked to indicate which side faces in towards the frame and which side faces out away from the frame.

110 links for a full suspension bike right? I'll make sure I put the finest extra virgin olive oil on top of the manufacturers grease to make it last too.

Olive oil is better than no oil. When I was at uni there was an MTB club. Membership ranged from the most hardcore of bike riders down to hippies that thought it would be nice. One ride a hippy had a chain that looked like garbage, just dry and crusty on a bike that looked like it was rescued from the tip. She didn't have much of a comprehension about maintenance etc and was having all sorts of problems on some trails around the Watagans. One of the more experienced members did some tweeks and so forth to ensure survival. Next ride she rocked up with a lustrous chain...well lube with olive oil! None of that harsh fossil fuel lubricant thank you. Anyway by the end of the ride it was covered in shit.
But - check your chain, no piss taking going on.

Yebbut multipurpose oils are good thing. I bet you can't stir fry or cook a schnitzel in Tri Flow nor will I be testing out this idea to know any better.

Yeah I know, I have a 12sp chain checker - it's still in tolerance along random points of the chain.

WD-40 works a treat.
I have, on one very emergency situation (staying at a girl's house the night before a ride and had an annoying sound from front axle that had to be prevented), used a small dab of rice bran oil on said axle (there was no other option in her inner city Sydney dwelling) after removing the moisture and funk that had displaced my grease. It worked very well and didn't need to be replaced for quite a while.

Not stretch...one side faces in and one side faces out, asymmetrical by design...I'm sure it's just marketing bullshit at the core, but some chains are designed as such.
Damn right baby oil. Not fuck Shimano, fuck local prices.So Bran Oil and Baby Oil - fuck Shimano and Rock'n'Roll

First debonair upgrade was to the B1 seal head and was a definite improvement over the "solo air" that it replaced.
Eventually I installed the C1 debonair seal head as it played nicer with the DIY runt/chickadee/DVC that I made.
