[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1005913, member: 3828"] Bill, try this: First, get the spring preload set right based on static and dynamic sag measurements. (I know that you know how to do that) Then crank back the damping to minimum on both compression and rebound and go out for an adjustment ride. Incrementally increase the compression damping 2-3 clicks at a time until the fork feels too stiff (you'll know it when you feel it) then back off one or two click. Now concentrate on the rebound after you hit a bump and how much float or oscillation there is. Only add enough of that to make it go away. It's really easy to put too much rebound damping in as the only down side is the shock packs up and squats on multiple hits. So err on the side of too light there. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
