Recently done a trip to the Sachesenring, washed the bike a week later, 2 weeks later (today) take a trip to Sheffield from Halifax. Bike peformed faultlessly in Germany but now wants to break my spine.
It seemed OK pushing on over snake pass but small pot holes and sudden changes feel like a bang through the bike. The shock was rebuilt 10K ago total miles 19K.
I did have the shock pre-load wound off to start, left over from European motorway work. Going over the Pennines I had a couple of moments where the bike decked out including foot pegs, one was particularly hard. I pulled over, wound it up and ground clearance was restored. I don't know if this is related to the shock performance?
Anyone had anything similar? I'm going to check for a loose wheel, damaged wheel bearings or something obvious in the am. As I sit here on the sofa typing this I feel like I've been kicked in the coxix.
