Nao percebo porque é que o ppl do FRZ tem feito comentarios desses ao video, ja que percebem tanto que falem... Mas ao que parece nao sou o unico a ter esta ideia, o Tim flooks (fundador TF tuned) num video que fez para o Fundamentals MTB DVD, tambem fala no drop test. Nossa senhora! De qualquer forma dentro de poucos dias vou tirar o video do ar para nao ter que aturar + pessoal. Abrç
k. i have a 600x2.25 coil and i weigh a little more than 200lbs, unless i have the coil super tight, it will bottom out on a 3ft drop to flat. should i move up to an 800lb sping?
How much SAG you have? Search on google for Tf Tuned spring calculator to get the correct spring rate (25-30% SAG).
If your SAG is correct, and if you have a volume ajust on the piggyback of your shock, probably you need to decrease the volume to have more progressive "ramp up" behaviour in last part of the travel...
Coil is much better on small bumps. As you can see in this video, coil shock always keeps the wheel on the ground in those small impacts... In bigger bumps as the coil is more linear than air, it tends to bottom-out easely. BUT, if you have a volume ajust in the piggyback (as I have in my manitou swinger) you can ajust bottom-out resistence. And it works! Now I have mine with volume ajusted to minimum, and the final 50% of the travel are very progressive and hard to bottom :)
The main objective of the video was NOT to compare the derailleur movement. I just notice how it kicks after the test and it looks funny. But the main reason that my derailleur and lower chain does NOT move and whip, it is because I have a chain guide instaled in the Pitch :)

@andrextr i did that but i dont really get what all of the obreviations mean

would harder air suspension be better for heavier riders or the softer coil shock?

@Thatguy5806 You can change coils. just buy the coil with the correct springrate for you.

So which is better ?can you describe how they soak small bumps and holes and bigger bumps and holes ?

ha ha ha that test is amusing. Stick to rigid bikes in the future, for safety reasons...
