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
