Personally I’m 5’10 (178cm) and normally weight 80kg at race weight but I’m more like 82-83 at the moment with isolation boredom eating haha. Frame: Medium.
I don’t know what the pressure is right now, I just know that I set it to 26% sag ( I wrote it down somewhere but I’ve looked and can’t find it... so rookie) I also don’t know my volume spacers situation.

So my suspension setup would be best described as soft off the top, but ramps up hard, and on the slower side of the rebound scale, especially on low speed rebound.
As I’ve mentioned before, suspension setup is super specific to so many variables, so take the time to learn works for you .
Drivetrain: Full @rideshimano XTR!
Hubs: DT Swiss
Spokes: DT Swiss competition with alloy nipples –
Rims: EX511
Currently I still think 30 mm ID rims are the goods. But I’m keen to experiment more with slightly wider. Spike tension is as light as possible without spokes coming excessively loose constantly. It can be a tough balance to find.
