9.1.9.4 Excessively hard damping on bumps
When the bike hits a bump, the damper deflects
too slowly and the rear wheel lifts up from the
bump. Traction is reduced (blue line).
Saddle and rider are deflected upwards and
forwards, the rear wheel loses contact with the
ground and control is reduced (green line).

Solution
Figure 114: Changing compression adjuster to a softer
setting
To increase sensitivity to small bumps, turn the
compression adjuster anti-clockwise to
decrease damping and hardness and increase
the deflection speed.
