Ohlins Cartridge Kit Update
I’ve just about gotten the Ohlins cartridge kits dialed in. I was almost at the end of my rope with getting them set up. My goal was to have them be significatly better that the stock WP closed cartidges (which I actually think are pretty good for stock stuff). I want to be able to really charge in the rough stuff, and I felt like the shock (which is aweseome) was cooperating but the forks were not. I raced them for the first time last weekend and they better than stock, but still too stiff on the intial part of the stroke, and deflected a lot off of obstacles. I had difficulty gettting the bike to dive in turns, especially when the tank was near empty. So we adjusted the fork spring preload to 0. I road the bike yesterday and I have to say it’s phenominal. Where it really shines is enduro sections, like rock gardens, rain ruts, and severe off-camber roots. I’m excited about doing some more testing this week and racing next weekend.
