Ohlins rebound and compression settings after setup

[jreinhardt]

I would be interested in knowing the settings for rebound and compression, front and rear, for your Ohlins after you have setup your bike the way you want it. I am just beginning this process and want to get an idea if the recommended settings are close for most of you, or if your settings are different by a wide margin. I know that your settings will reflect your personal preferences and riding style. It would help to also know your weight and riding style. Thanks in advance!

Without knowing weight, riding style, what you ride with, etc.. "settings" are pretty much useless.

I'd suggest reading: http://www.eilenberger.net/Suspension/suspension.htm - and if you have questions, ask me.

Don,

Thanks for the reply. I have read your article and all of the other posts on this related subject. I have found the recommended settings from Ohlin (+/-) a couple of clicks to provide a good ride in twistie conditions, but I have not tried moving out into the extremes (4-8 clicks), one setting at a time, to see what happens. With a little luck, I will be able to set aside several hours to go through the entire process in the next few days. I was just interested in seeing what the range of settings are for these shocks, knowing that I shouldn't look to set up my bike based on someone else's settings. Thanks for the offer to help.

I hope I have a chance to meet you in a couple of weeks at MOA.
