Beauty of a build, my bloody sabbath dread will be here in a couple weeks. Any feedback on the padmelon damper?

Thanks. The Pademelon damper as been great so far. A little trouble with it on this bike as the headset cup is a loose fit when pressed in the frame, causing the bracket to turn out from center when ridden, just had to use some super glue to hold it in place. But other than that it definitely adds more stability and less deflections off line.

How much do you weigh and what sag are you at with the coil? Are you like the coil compared to the vivid air?

I’m about 170lb kitted up. Right know I’m sitting a little over 30% with the 400lb spring. It’s a little too soft for my liking and riding style, so I’m going to go up a spring rate. Both the coil and air are good, the coil right know for me is a little bobby but keeps the bike planted. The air is more poppy and has more hold up for pumping as of now compared to the coil, but I haven’t got much time on either and am going to do some back to back tests soon. Can’t go wrong with either shock though.

I’d probably go with the 375 and go from there, it all depends if you want it more supportive or plush. It always takes a couple springs to find what suits your riding style and the type of riding you do.

(looks like the rear caliper is sitting too tall...need to check that adapter situation... 😉 )
