Jekyll 3 DYAD question..

Okay, perhaps I'm crazy, but am I supposed to feel a marked difference between flow and elevate modes? Because other than (possibly) a tiny bit more efficiency in the latter, nothing seems to happen when I toggle the switch, though I have checked and the cable is lifting the pin on the shock. I have emptied and refilled the air chambers (in the order dictated by Fox), and this hasn't made any difference. The bike rides great, very nimble and balanced (if a bit tall in the rear feeling), but I can't help but wonder if something isn't quite right. Lastly, there is a bit (+/- 4mm) of silver showing from the shock when the bike is sitting there unmounted, so it is a tiny bit into its sag already, which I know some folks have had issues with.

Thoughts?

I can feel a considerable difference between Flow and Elevate modes.

When i even switch from Elevate to Flow i can even feel the the whole rear of the bike drop a cm or more..

Are you running pressures in-line with you weight (on the chart)? Or like most people, using lower pressures?

I'm running mine two settings lower than my weight in flow mode and one setting higher than for my weight in elevate, it made a good bike amazing, to me this is how it should be, don't know if it can damage the shock being out of balance but I've had my Jekyll for 8 months with no problems

My dyad had the same issue with the shock extended with no weight on it. i sent it in under warranty and wastold th:thumbsup:ere was issues with the seals not being seated internally. Fox repaired it and its been fine ever since. I could always tell a difference between flow/elevate though. adding or releasing air in elevate mode can also cause issues as well.

I checked my settings today and I'm running 350psi in both + & - chambers and also 4 clicks of rebound in each chamber too I weigh about 216lbs in gear and it feels better than if I run the cannondale settings, there's a bit of pedal bob in flow if I ride on the road, but elevate feels solid, and on an off-road climb the difference is quite pronounced
