This is the YSS ME302-350T-01 350mm shock from the Suspension Store in der Nederlands. I'm working full-time now down at the 2020 Census shop so haven't had time to get a second shakedown cruise on Das Brick. I dialed off eight turns of the preload to get at least some sag in there, don't know why it would come wound so tight. When I get time there's plenty of ugly roads round here to ride to get it set up properly using Dave Ross's technique.

Moss, Dave Moss. That's what I get for copy-and-pasting anything Greaves-us links me... boohoo
(Actually he DID say Moss, but I blame him anyway  :dk

Yeah. He probably meant Bob Ross, the equanimous landscape painting instructor, who put a friendly little tree right here by this stream. Isn't that nice?
