Hiya,
Those of you with supermoto and 21/18 wheelsets, how do you set up the suspension so it steers decently with each?
As far as I know, then if the forks and rear sag are set up for the SM tires, the offroad tires will cause the bike to feel heavier steering, and vice versa.
Is it reasonably possible to set the rear sag low for SM and the forks high, and then keep the rear low and lower the forks for the 21/18 wheels to get steering agility back? - To reach a compromise without having to adjust the rear sag each time.
And - Does the rear wheel rearwards/forwards adjustment change sag and therefore steering character? So that it's possible to have different chains for SM and offroad and affect the steering that way?
