Results :
Type of riding you do = Michigan singletrack, tight woods with some open whoop sections. Soil varies from sand, medium sized rocks, tree roots, and dirt/mud.
How you like your suspension to feel = Soft to soak up the rocks & roots. Need decent bottom resistance for whoop section at speed. My suspension was revalved by previous owner. I would describe it as Soft and tend to increase clicker settings to compensate.
Fast or slow rider(be honest) = I would be a fast C-class or slower B-class rider by Michigan standards.
