| The front static sag should be 30mm, so the front needs softer springs as well.
A mismatch in spring rates front to rear is likely the main cause of your handling difficulties. Every time you hit a bump the bike's fore-aft geometry changes (i.e. CG, steering head inclination, trail, pitch.)
Once you've got the proper springs, then if it bottoms too easily in long dips increase your compression damping 2-4 clicks until it begins to feel harsh over changes in road paving. |
