posting for a friend: he had his trixxter frame upgraded to a fox dhx5 air, he feels the fox is too soft..the air in his main chamber is already 250 psi...sag is set as instructed at the manual...he's 56kg..is there a problem or is it just not compatible with a 4bar linkage frame like a trixxter?

1. has the bottom out know been set to full soft? if not he can set it for a more progressive feel. 2. the boost valve and propedal affects the intial compression. he can also set that.
had same problems with my dhx air. okay na siya after i focused on those 2 items

tnx sir wadesingson... how about the main air chamber, does it have psi limit or none?

Too Soft? what's the spring rate he's using, refer to manual of dhx 5 for sag and his weight.

dhx air may golly wow for trixxter......my opinion not recommended......not ideal for trixxter linkage plus geometry......better try hucking some jumps or drops see if suits for trixxter frame if not i will recommend the dhx coil.....for better Too Soft? what's the spring rate he's using, refer to manual of dhx 5 for sag and his weight.

I don't know....is this possible that a shock is not designed for a specific linkage??? Can somebody please let us know if there is a proof to this... so we can consider it next time we upgrade?

yes the main chamber has 250 pound limit.

ok thanks...so, we can still use the same shocks but increase the spring rate?

when you mean spring rate is crank up the propedal and increase bottom out? you could, but there are max pressures for the chambers printed on the piggy back. check mo nalang.

Reduce pressure in the air chamber first maybe 100 psi before you do this. Adjusting the bottom out will load the main air chamber.
