what size norco

[coolatt]

I'm 5"10-11

Do I need a medium or a large?

[MerimacHamwich]

At 6'1" I ride a medium 2005 Aline. Medium-Small would probably suit you well.

[S-Dawg]

id deffinatly say medium, im around the same height and i rode a small vps for a while, happily, but it was on the small side, but i deffinatly wouldnt get a large.

[DaveM]

It would help if you told us what model you were looking at.

[Testy]

And are you intending to ride without sleeves?

[Timmigrant]

I'm 6' and I ride a medium-small Team DH and a medium Shore. Both fit me well, but I like REALLY small race bikes. I'll probably try a medium Team DH next year.

The large is quite large, the medium you can setup really well with stem/seat positions. Keep in mind that Norco bikes tend to ride tall and short.

Can someone give me some info on the air valve on the DHX3. Is it just bottom out resistance?

It is just bottom out resistance. At the moment, I run mine minimum pressure (~75lbs), but that's because for me at 175lbs, I find the 550# spring too stiff.
I just got to take my Six out for a spin, first time since i got the new forks, and first time since I broke my arm. I rode around Rocky point, my arm is tired, didn't really tax the suspension :)

It's the boost valve, which determines the action of the propedal and bottom out resistance which are both preset and non-adjustable in the DHX 3.0

Basically, low psi = plush ride, high psi = firm ride. Don't go lower than 75 or higher than 200.

Start at 75 and see how it pedals, if you feel that you're getting some pedal bob, raise the pressure about 10 psi at a time until you've reached a balance between pedaling platform and small bump compliance.

I'm about 195 and use 125 psi for general trail riding. If I take it to the pump track I'll raise the psi right up to 200 so it doesn't absorb the energy so much.

So it's kind of like an SPV valve

Not sure, I have never owned or ridden a Manitou.
