Ripley Sag
We recommend the following shock
pressures as starting points for the
Ripley:
< 170 lbs: riding weight less 10psi
> 170 lbs: riding weight plus 10psi
=170 start with riding weight
Shoot for 11mm (.45") sag.
Less pressure gives a slacker seat
angle and overall smoother ride.
More pressure gives a firmer suspen-
sion feel and steeper seat angle and
more over the pedals riding position.
Trail Adjust
The new RP23 CTD (Climb, Trail,
Descend) is set-up much like the Float
CTD fork:
Climb mode enables a firm low-speed
compression setting. We’d use it for
paved or smooth fire road climbs.
Trail mode dials back the low-speed
compression damping from climb mode.
And once you set the lever to Trail
mode, changing between soft, medium,
and firm settings on the dark outer dial
enable you to further fine tune the low-
speed compression damping.
Descend mode changes the compres-
sion setting to full-open for maximum
control and plush performance on
steep, aggressive descents.
The pedaling efficiency of the dw-
link suspension renders many of the
features of the RP23 CTD superfluous.
For all but smooth pavement or fire
road climbing, we recommend run-
ning the RP23 in the Descend setting.
The increased low speed compression
damping that Trail and Climb settings
provide cut out much of the small
bump sensitivity that our bikes are so
well known for.
Adjusting Rebound
The RP23 has adjustable rebound
damping. It’s adjusted by turning the
red dial on the inside of the CTD lever
(or ProPedal adjust lever on older
RP23s). Generally you want it as
fast as you can set it without getting
bounced off the saddle after a bump
or drop (like riding off a curb in the
saddle.) If the rebound setting is too
slow the shock will be partially com-
pressed when you hit the next bump
resulting in “packing down”. Too fast
