I replaced my shock a couple of years ago and had the new one sprung correctly for my (then) weight.
I lost some weight on purpose and then got quite crook and lost a whole lot more.
I'm currently about 18-20 kg under the weight that the shock is sprung for.
So as I expect when I hit big bumps I nearly get thrown off the bike.
But the strange thing is now my number plate which is on a home made tail tidy is being hit by the back wheel at some point when riding and is getting folded up under the bike
How does this happen? I'm lighter so the shock shouldn't be able to compress as much - surely? This never happened when i was fatter.
Theres no fluid leaks or anything, the shock seems fine otherwise.
Whats going on?
