Rail (625Wh) Rail 9.7 small bump compliance

[ratherbebiking]

G'day all. Anyone have any success with achieving small bump compliance on a Rail with RS Deluxe+ rear shock? I have played with pressures and rebound but am at a loss. I'm about 200lbs fully kitted out riding the roots and rocks of Vancouver Island (BC). I am on a medium and there isn't consensus if a coil will fit so not really interested in experimenting unless I can get some definitive info.

Neighbor installed a coil shock on his medium Rail7. With the piggy back he wasn’t able to mount the water bottle in the default position. I don’t remember the name and size but I’ll try to post a pic later.

He loves it btw. I’m considering the new Rock Shox Vivid …but $$$$

@ratherbebiking Have you experimented with tyre pressures? That can have a significant impact on small bump compliance.

MegNeg upgrade perhaps?
