Help setting up rydefx 2.0 air shocks

[mxzwild]

I have an 05 rev that I am trying set up the 2.0's and am having a hard time getting a nice ride for the smaller studder/6-8" bumps. It is the kit I have so I have the air pump and both shrader valves installed in the big and little chambers. Is it possible to get a good ride at lower speeds like 20-25mph or am I trying to achieve something that I can't. They are great at taking on the big stuff though. I know nitrogen is better because of the bigger molecules and less affected by temp/altitude but I need to get them close to the correct pressures first. Also the rev is the gtx which is 136" track 2 up sled. Thanks for any help.

I have these shocks on my 09 Dragon Switchback. google ryde fx air 2.0 and you'll find there website with service manual and there's a 800# you can call and leave a message. A guy actually called me back and was very helpful.

the bigger 47mm is the only chamber designed to change on a day to day basis and adjusting has the same affect as increasing/decreasing the spring pre-load as a traditional coil over spring shock. The smaller diameter 40mm housing is designed to be left alone at factory spec- according to the service manual (I think it says in most conditions). My shocks handle the bumps great, my only complaint was pushing through corners (on trail) so I just installed the pump kit and shrader valves to hopefully dial up ski pressure and remedy this problem.

Sounds like if your not handling the stutter bumps too well at high speed you may have too much ski pressure so I'd try dropping the pressure in the 47 mm chambers. Limiter straps on rear skid will also affect ski pressure too.

These shocks come from factory filled with nitrogen, and I was told once you find the pressure you like to have them re-filled with nitrogen, especially if you ride in altitude.

What pressure are you running?
