M-Pire - Ion St Gallerie

Hello ION owners, Sorry for my English.

I have just bought an ION, and have some questions. I hope you guys can help me.

Which hole gives the most travel?
What spring should I be using? I weigh 95kg with kit and like 33-40% sag. Shock is a Vivid 5.1.

Thanks.
 
The position in at the bottom gives you 197 mm travel at the rearwheel. The position at the top gives you 217 mm. The positions at the front are for diffent head angels and also bb heights...
Cannot tell you anything regarding your weight and the spring, but you might use two different spring rates based on the chosen travel. Just give it a try!
I'm using a 350 spring rate for 197 mm and a 400 spring rate with 217 mm in my DHX 4.0. My weight is about 70 kg with equipment...
Do you alreday have a spring mounted in your shock?
 
OK thanks. I have 500lb spring in top hole. Feels a little stiff.
The longer travel (top Hole) must have a higher leverage ratio.

So if you ,move the shock up at the front you slacken the head angle but raise the BB, yes?
What is the standard HA?
 
Your right with the connection between bb height and head angle. The standard head angle is 64.5°. You can also find the whole geometry data here. Unfortunately there is no information about the head angel as a function of the shock position...

Bist Du Dir da sicher, dass das obere Loch 217mm Federweg freigibt ?
 
"The position in at the bottom gives you 197 mm travel at the rearwheel. The position at the top gives you 217 mm."

Dennoch scheint dann diese Info hier falsch zu sein, wenn mich gerade nicht alle Sinne verlassen haben?
