Hey Dave,
I think you had it right.
Less volume spacers should make the shock more linear.
More volume spacers will make the shock more progressive.
More linear should have consistent resistance throughout the travel.
More progressive should make the shock have more resistance the further it...
I'm not sure why that Youtube link didn't work but here is the information I was trying to share.
Go to youtube and search for
1 suspension trick you need to know. The author is Semi-Sendy
Hopefully that gets you to his video. I found that one helpful and he has a bunch of other suspension...
Good Morning! (at least it is here in New Hampshire!),
Is that remaining travel in your rear shock due to HBO?
I believe you should always have a little travel left unless you've had some really big hits during your ride.
This video makes some very good points and does a good job of explaining...
I finally received my new shock and installed it.
I've put about 50 miles on it in everything from smooth and swoopy to technical roots, rocks and small drops.
It's a great upgrade from my previous Deluxe Select + in every way and I'm thrilled with the way the bike rides now!
I'm currently...
Thanks Fraatti!

Thank you for that excellent feedback!

I'm going to run it the way it comes when I get it to get a feel for that and then adjust as necessary...
These things are very tough to find stateside.
My local bike shop is telling me 1-2 months to get one.
I've searched online and think I may have found the only one available in the US.
I ordered this today:
Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2T Rear Shock
(210X52.5) Linear Air, 0 Neg/1 Pos Token...
Hey Fraatti,
Congratulations on your new arrival!
I'm anxious to hear how it works out for you.
Can you please confirm that the extra positive volume reducers are INCLUDED in the box with the shock?
It would be one less thing to have to locate and purchase when I order mine.
I stopped at my...
I've looked at TFTuned's website and those folks seem to be a great place to work with.
Does anyone know of a similar shop in the US?
I've searched online but I'd prefer a recommendation from someone with firsthand experience.
Thanks!
Thank you all for your information and feedback!
It's been very helpful.
I ride a 2020 Levo Comp and I'm looking to upgrade my Rockshox Deluxe Select + rear shock.
I'm at about the 200 hour mark and it seems to make more sense to upgrade to the new 2023 Super Deluxe Ultimate than to pay to...
