Rear suspension

[dogpoo]

This rear suspension is height adjustable, is this for adjusting the dampening effect or is it so you can lower the bike? not up on this sort of thing so maybe someone with knowledge of suspension can help. Cheers.

Ugly looking thing isn't it!

That picture( not my bike, is not very good, looks very good on my bike though, my opinion of course, suspension is very hard now so need fine adjustments to get it right.

To me it looks like an attempt to design a rear shock that looks exactly like a faux front shock. I have seen more artistic looking rear shocks. But hey for locals it's got bling.

Looks great to me and goes with the rest of the bike, no idea what a faux front shock looks like so unable to comment on that.

A longish drive today, the suspension is stiff but have been told it will soften over the coming weeks, although with a passenger it is excellent!!

Like you wrote, do you like the bike set at 275mm level, or somewhere in between, or up to 375mm level, I would say there's no adjustment on dampening.
