Just gunna say thats unneeded... Kinda like how im about to say. no one cares about how good you claim to be or how you named a trail after yourself 👍🤏 good for you.

ANYWAY
I swear any chance to word vomit onto a keyboard.
its a hard tail. I get the concepts was just a general question I dont have a shock pump and seemed soft to me but like I said idk mtb suspension. If I came this close to bottoming my dirtbike from such simple things she'd be getting oil or a rebuild. I shoulda known better tho... and went to ******. The fact a website is starred out just shows my point 🤣😂🤣 starts with red and ends in dit

Now my observations why does everyone in bicycles have to try and make there own terms 🙄 just say you got too much rebound decrease that. Or damn its packing up you need to add rebound. See? No backwards wording or say it this way means more or say it that way means less. Like your adding damping to reduce rebound. literally everything else with rebound adjustment talks that way. Cyclists just gotta sound... idk. Better. But then CONES oh man that one kills me. Literally EVERYSINGLE other indusrty calls them races. Bearings, inner and outter races. Bikes? Nahh bearings, cones and cups... never said i was confused just pointing out silly bike stuff. Sad the culture sucks you know? too many nose ups. like that guy who is 100% sure its not an air fork... without seeing a damn thing other then the o ring and stanchion that cap is just there for show 🙄. Perfect example.
Good luck to you. You'll need it.
the trail was named by a long time friend at an ODF meeting.. i wasn't there. 21 days by myself building the majority, and three days with a team of 4 others.

" I dont have a shock pump."
get one. there's a major difference in their coupler design, and a reason they are so tiny.

your SR Suntour fork is "soft" because it was a weak design to begin with... "QSP" ... Quick Service Product... because they need a certain very critical part over and over again... the lockout knob has been upgraded to the better one that doesn't self destruct, but the more critical component is dead, from the sound of your complaint.
the shock pump will come in handy when you step up and buy a better fork.
a Rockshox Reba or Rekon would be a big upgrade, and weigh less too..
