[Khuboy]

guys was reading the above article about tuning, but a bit confused.

recently i adjusting shock rebound bit by bit over intrvals of few days. currently i encounter rear wheel going wider without much effort leaning into slow corner. can anyone tell me this is too much rebound or too little?

I think the article here is easier to understand.

Well..once upon a time, I bought a set of Ohlins springs and I brought it Ah-lai at Ubi to help me fix them in.

 

I watched Ah-lai fix it, basically he unscrew the fork cap, slide out the whole internal assembly, put in the new spring. screw back the fork cap and slide everything back, replace fork oil.

 

He didn't dismantle the cartridge, pistons or shims at all, that why he charges me $60..

 

Story end there.

 

I suppose if my cartridge shims were already bent, Ah-lai would not have notice it, let alone caused it since he didn't dismantle the cartridge.

 

I was hoping the next guys who worked on my fork to pick up anything that may be wrong.
