I recently bought a used Wilbers rear shock.
The original owner specified rider at 17stone. Passenger 13 stone plus luggage.
I weigh around 17 stone so I thought the shock would be a good fit.
The shock was serviced a year ago and has the remote hydraulic preload and adjustable rebound.
I set the sag to 60mm and the rebound to 6 clicks in. It feels much firmer than original shock but not in a bad way.
Jumping up and down on the bike everything feels ok. Out on the road the bike feels fine until I hit a bump or drain cover. I get a fairly harsh shock up through the seat. Even dropping off a curb at walking pace it feels harsh.
I have tried adjusting everything to either end of the adjustments but it still feels harsh at any setting.
I'm out of ideas as what's happening. Any ideas ?
