A RIDE-9 Adjustment System and How-to
ฝัง

- The RIDE-9 adjustment system allows riders to quickly fine-tune their geometry and suspension with a pair of Allen keys. Nine configurations are possible thanks to two interlocking chips. Product Manager, Ken Perras walks you through the RIDE-9 adjustment system and explains how it affects a bikes suspension and geometry as well as how to change the settings.

Can you PLEASE explain the effects on kinematics more clearly in the manual and in the video tutorial?
I had to find a proper explanation in the comment section of some random TH-camr.
With models 2021 and newer, is it correct to say that 3, 6 and 9 are most progressive, and 1,4,7 are most linear?
8nm = 6ftlbs=71inlbs
Thanks for posting this explanation. The difference, visually, is so small. I thought I was in Position 6, but it was Position 3 - which explains a lot of the bottoming out and the cursing while climbing.
Great video! Could have used this 4 years ago when I bought my new bike. There were no manuals included with it and the dealer shop was zero help when I asked how to make adjustments.
Does anyone have a tip for getting the thru bolt out? Mine is stuck.
I tought position 3 was the most progressive as described in the website manual.
THAT’S NUMBERWANG!
At least for me it helps to look at the link as a lever and how it acts on the shock as it travels through a compression. It appears there is more leverage on the shock in moving from 7 to 3 diagonally, so the shock is easier to push at the beginning of the stroke at 3. In moving in the 1 to 9 direction diagonally, the leverage on the shock doesn't change as much, but there is more of an effect on the bike's geometry, bringing the tires closer together.
As far as rise goes it seems that would depend on how much air is in the shock, but i don't know any of this stuff really.
Is there a PDF of this with photos of the actual chip placements? The numbered diagram isn't intuitive.
The system is great, but photo referencing would improve the user experience.
Hi Ian, to learn more about the RIDE-9 and its set-up, please refer to our website here: bikes.com/pages/ride-9-adjustment-system
@@rockymountainbicycles I appreciate the reply, but it's to a link to a video and pdf of diagrams (which to your credit, show pictures of positions 1, 5, & 9). That leaves out 6/9 positions. Exactly the positions I need to experiment with. :)
@@rockymountainbicycles This video says position 1 is the more progressive. The ride-9 manual says position 3 is the more progressive. Which one is true?
Been riding it for years!! Love it!! Even better in my case, Mullet altitude powerplay 2019. You can play with different types of geometry even transforming the original bike form (27.5)
A lot of customization! Curious on the rear adjustment ever seen the driveside flip chip completely lock up? Curious to try the longest wheelbase option.
The flip chip is secured by the derailleur hanger and its bolt. As long as that can be removed, there shouldn't be a problem.
If any issues like this arise with your bike, our dealers and technical service team are there to help.
@@rockymountainbicycles it didn’t come out. Wasn’t going to force it. Took it to a local shop and heard him banging the drivetrain side chip with a hammer and it didn’t come out 😂 guess I’m not going back to that shop again.
Very good system
The position 5 in this video is different from the manual
position 5 is the center. you can have 4 different orientations for position 5.
Then for positions 2,4,6,8, each of them has 2 orientations.
@@youling1997 Ya, I figured it out after closer inspection.
A very problem, two times changed all system including the link cosing cracking noise. Never buy a Rocky Mounting again.
