Too fat for my LTS?

[WWC]

Hello all

My LTS 2 minor pimpage is slowly progressing but I have a decision to make around the rear shock.

I picked up a red Risse unit for a bargain £36 on sunny bay but really like the coil look of the rockshox.

The existing unit appears to actuate fine but bottoms out fairly easily.

I’m a ‘slim’ 100kg, could it be I need a stronger spring?

Cheers

Will

Does it need some air pressure?

yes, get a stiffer spring. the standard ones were reasonably lightweight.
