A record stretch of warm dry days this Fall in southern New England is making for some great commuting rides, though sunset is a bit to early for my taste. The ride is mostly on a secondary state road that is a favorite for weekend bikers. I don't see too many bikes in the mornings but do on the way home in the afternoons sometimes.
One section near my home is under construction, stormwater drainage system install thru an area that occasionally floods, The road was in need of paving before the work started and now, numerous patches and it gets harder and harder to weave my way thru the less that smooth pavement. I notice my rear suspension feels like it bottoms out sometimes going maybe 20-25 mph. I increased the rear suspension setting but can't really tell if it helped much or not. Is this normal or is there something I can check to better evaluate if the rear shock needs replacement or some different tuning? Possibly a winter project I guess.
