The Fox shock o-ring is at the very bottom when at full travel but I finally noticed this yesterday so I am using nearly full travel with the DVO. I didn't realize that when the o-ring is 17 mm from the bottom that I was really at around 5 mm from full travel due to the DVO design (see the pic with o-ring after a hard ride). I just realized that it was spot on with the DVO shock for pressure. So try to encounter everything you might want to cover on a ride with the Shockwiz to be more accurate. It like 45 psi but I don't think that's enough and maybe that ride didn't have enough big hits. It did lead me to only 3 clicks from closed on the compression damping for the front for instance not what I normally was running but I think the right direction. It can give you some good info from a 1 hr ride though but if your rides vary a lot you could be misled on the next ride if it's much rougher than your typical ride. The DVO feels so much better and it does make the Fox Rhythm 34 feel very harsh now.Ĭlick to expand.Yes I like Shockwiz a lot but you generally have to do a lot of riding before it's confidence level is high. That means I'll be able to lower the overall pressure while running the same sag and hopefully using more of the travel. It has positive and negative spacers and I plan to add negative spacers since that will make the beginning of the compression curve more progressive and should not affect the end.
I am going to pop it apart to see if they accidentally put any volume spacers in. I really like the control and plush feel of this shock but I'm having the same issue with not using all of the travel, 17 mm unused at 150 psi and 33% sag. I'll probably do another round with shockwiz since I installed a DVO Topaz T3 real shock. I also have a 150mm air damper I'm going to try soon. The Fork had one volume spacer from Focus and I took that out as well. Shockwiz also liked 45 psi but that just feels to soft overall. I started with 7 but after a couple of sessions using Shockwiz ended up at 3.
Front damping is set to 3 CCW from fully closed. I am running around 50 psi of air on the front and generally using all of the travel so will probably go to 55 psi. But I finally realized that even without a volume spacer, 140 psi of air and about 30% sag, I just could not use the last 13 mm of shock travel even with big hits. Since I was initially trying to firm things up I went one size up.
I found that my Fox DPS shock had the 0.4 cu in volume spacer in it from the factory.
I'm 72 kg with all my gear so pretty close to your weight. My Focus Jam2 C came with Fox DPs shock and Rhythm 34 forks.
