I also noticed that because the back end is now yielding as it should, I can pop the front wheel up easier with lesser effort.

For now I think I'll persevere with my version, because the simple mod I made thus far has already paid off big time. Wow, I think your's is the high end model with Kashima coating - good score! Post your shock spec any way if you can find it. Oh and yes, with the higher pressure, I also had to increase my rebound by a click or two.

What a pleasure to ride - it's a different bike. There's still about 8mm shock stroke left before bottoming out, so there's some headroom there for the odd hard hit. Over some moderate DH rock sections I can actually sit down now - front and rear wheel behaviour more closely matched. It's plusher but not overly linear (still somewhat progressive). It's not just getting a deeper reach whilst having decent higher air pressure (no more excessive sag) - but also how nicely it yields in that space. Hard to believe such a small reduction off the spacer can make a huge improvement. I just got back from a trail ride this morning - that had rocks, exposed roots, multiple medium drops and long sweeping berms with stutter bumps. Has anyone performed a spacer swap/install before? It will allow me to raise the air pressure to get the right sag, but will also blow through most of its stroke.įox sells an air volume spacer kit for the Float DPS and it looks like this. I need more air volume in my chamber and change whatever is in there to a smaller spacer. Yes it's plusher sort-of, but it has effectively become a short travel set-up. If I lower the pressure so that the shock could get near the end of its stroke, the sag ends up being almost halfway down - so I've lopped-off the top half of my suspension travel. The rear suspension is also jarring over high speed stutter bumps and rock gardens. I ride over medium drops, and also ride down old wooden staircases in some trails I venture into, so a stiff back end is no fun. I'm 85kg and I guess I don't ride aggressive enough for the standard Giant spec shock tuning.

The issue I have with my shock is if I pump the air pressure up to get the recommended sag (14-17mm) the shock is too stiff and doesn't reach its full stroke (see pic above of stanchion O-ring) - so I'm only getting about 2/3 to 3/4 of the 140mm suspension travel I'm meant to have on my rear wheel. But I think the air volume spacer kit for this shock is the same for the high-end DPS models with Kashima coating and both compression and rebound adjusters. It has the 3 position switch (locked, firm, full movement), with only a basic rebound adjuster knob. The Fox Float trunnion-mount rear shock unit that came with my Giant Trance E+ 3Pro is the black 'DPS Performance' model.
