thx turfherder, that is precisely the guidance of which I seek. Now I havea starting point. Much appreciated

a guide would be advantage, e.g. 100 psi if you are 200 lbs. then u choose to move the psi up or down a bit depending on your preference for a firm or not so firm ride. i guess if i ask my bike techs they will give me a number to at least start with on my shock pump.

Hmmmm. Seems like a pretty vague process. too bad they dont publish an optimum pressue for ur weight, e.g. 200 lbs? 150 lbs? All it needs is what psi the respective rider need to personaize his/her ride.

Yeah, like ur frog and boiling water analogy. It cud be leaking and then it could be my head. Just bought the shock pump so will check air pressure when we get home from rv trip. i just need to know what optimum pressure is. think it depend on ur weight?

Bike Shop tightened air receiver. Shocks down again, so have purchased a shock pump. Now I just need to know what psi to set.

Is there an ideal psi pressure for air shocks on explorer +. Bought a shock pump. Now need to know optimum pressure.

Thx so much mtn biker. No am not handy. Taking bike in to chek air in forks so will do both. Appreciate tip

Congrats. You gonna luv it. With respect to close cockpit, I too have shorter legs and got medium bike. Previous was a Trek Mamba built like a thoroughbred, almost too long. It took a bit to get used to the close cockpit, but now the Trek is just a memory. I just cranked over 1000 kms and...

This happen to anybody? Lite almost looks like a sealed item, although I know it is not. Guess best thing is to take to dealer.

Thx for tip. Will be taking to shop.

Yeh, well I am joining your "DUH" club. Its amazing what we learn, even in later years. I will invest in a shock pump, but still want to know why it is losing air.

Thx for input. Do not know why shocks losing air. Chasing that down with dealer. They already informed me about shock pump and will probably buys one, but do not like fact that forks are losing air.

Talked about this previous. Question: When forks low on air they bottom out, creating a bit of a bang. Will this harm the mechanism if low on air? Would it be better to lock suspension out when low on air?

Thx for your very comprehensive breakdown. Yes it does say run the battery down every 3 months and re charge. Yes I only got it down to 2% and now I know why. I really appreciate your input Slow Rider. And yes, I will continue to ride it like I stole it. One thing I did learn on my trip to...

Thx for reply and insight. I will stop in at my bike shop and let them wrestle with it. I tried to put air in but, as you say, it escaped as soon as I disconnected the pump.

Explorer +1. Checked the air in shocks and it all came out when checking. All air came out. How much pressure for Forks? Do u have to use a hand pump?

Yeah, thx for the tip. I went thru this article and am no smarter than I was. I will hope for more input from the website on this. In the meantime will go back to my dealer and confirm what he said.

Its called "CYCLEAWARE". I was whining about my mirror missing and one of the bike mechs stuck this thing on the side of my helmet. First couple of days i decided it would never work, but it has fit into my life quite well. As mentioned, u have to adjust it almost every time you put it on...

Well, just ran the battery down to zero like they say you should do about every 3 mos. Believe me the smaller front sprocket has a use. My battery gave out at bottom of large hill and I thanked the Creator for that small front sprocket. It made the heavy bike usable. I also put a suspension...

Always had handlebar mirror until E+1. No room. They convinced me to try a helmet mirror. Took some getting used to, but its fine now. Must adjust almost every ride but good rear vision. Incidentally, E+1 just about best handlebar grips ever. Too bad I had to pay almost 4 grand to get...
