Minor Adjusting of the suspension for dirt

With our baseline out of the way we decided to alter a few things before the ride today.

1. change tyre pressures from 28/28psi to 18/22 psi front/rear.
2. alter the rear rebound adjuster from midway Hard/Soft to full soft.

What a difference, the bike handled so much better, the rear now held the track with much more control and was much less bone jarring over corrugations. The front also felt less harsh. As the confidence level increased we moved onto some single tracks, these were quite difficult as the gearing on the standard setup did not allow an easy takeoff on steep tracks nor allow easy control in the tighter sections at a slow pace, this is to be expected I guess with the standard 16/42 sprockets.

Note: Be sure to reset the tyres and rebound to standard before hitting freeway speeds, the rear move around quite a bit at +100km/h particulary with panniers fitted.
