Tryptych Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'm about 160 lb geared and I seem to like 65 PSI on top and the 50 PSI on the bottom which I think is the least amount of pressure I can get away using without bottoming out.. but I'm not sure yet... Admittedly I haven't spent enough time testing that many different settings. What do you guys prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokumeino Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I don't own a V11 but I think that a consensus is to apply to the top half of what's on the bottom (inflate bottom first). For the PSI of the bottom, aim a 3.5cm sag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolesnce Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm 140 lbs geared. I have my tops set to 40 psi and bottoms set to 70 psi. Tire is 35 psi. I am still trying to dial in my pressures. Went for a 25 mile ride yesterday and noticed on gravel trails the suspension oscalates in a rhythmic pattern getting bigger after every compression of the suspension. Any suggestions on what I should adjust my preasures to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on what I should adjust my preasures to? If I were you, I would: - set the top chambers to 50psi - measure the sag - if sag is more than 3.5cm, add 10psi to the bottom chambers. And vice versa. And repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3X Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 80 kg, 100/200 psi and 45 psi tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I changed the pressure in tire ,suspensions chambers and pedal softness: 80 kg 30 Tire pressure 30 / 90 for the chambers. Pedal soft 90 % I feels more flying than riding now. Magic carpet feel.. I wish the acces to pump them suspension chambers was less complicated. Its not a girlfriend its a wheel.

Rawnei Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) What's a good way to messure sag? Edit: I also have the first pump (the black one), I find it very difficult to get precise PSI as there will always be some seepage even if you release the top part first, trying to figure out exactly how much you lose that way.

You don’t lose any air from the shock when you remove the pump. You only lose the pressure from the hose. For measuring sag and other V11 shock pumping tips watch this: Edited November 25, 2020 by mrelwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogdanM Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have 80kg and I use 132- 62 psi for suspension and 40 psi for the tire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I followed @mrelwood excellent youtube guide to get 3-3.5cm of sag and then put top PSI about half of bottom PSI that brought me to 120/60 which feels nice. BTW to measure sag you don't really need tape and a marker pen just measure from the bottom of the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
