No, not my taste in clothing, rather a suspecsion set-up query.

I've stiffened the suspension slightly as per PB mag's recommendations and I was wondering if its worth making any changes to make the set-up more wet/cold weather friendly. If so, what?

Hi

Generally softer suspension works better in the wet.

All the best

I would just ride it and see how it feels, maybe change it if it feels pants.

Yes. Back off the preload and damping adjusters a bit. Make sure you know where you are starting from, and then have a play.

All the best
