• r-zeta reverse engineers rebound numbers based on spring rate   [see zeta_backwards_shc.xlsx]
  • Where co-zeta is for a specific bike and lev ratio, ro-zeta is only dependant on the spring rate so it is good for all bikes and lev ratio.
  • Current ro-zeta curves.

  • Use curve 93_73_70 and shoot for rebound numbers at 100% or below. 
    • Better to be a bit under and stiffen rebound clicker as needed.  Keeping rebound bleed area at r-15 or less will ensure there's enough low speed compression force from mv piston.

  • CURRENT RULE OF THUMB
  • Ideal r-zeta curve should be over .70 at 1-5ips then digress to .70 or a bit under at 40-50ips.
  • This gives more rebound at lower velocities to stabilize the chassis, and allows faster reb for the overdamped wheel at higher velocities.
