[QUOTE="Caba, post: 414977, member: 843"] Just to jump on the bandwagon for the resurrected thread, I too made the changes and damn, what a difference. I hadn't checked the settings before but when I did they were at: Preload 4.5 Compression 18 Rebound 13 The rear was already at 6 so no changes. Now I know what "feeling the geometry change" means in a corner. I didn't realize how much the front end was diving lifting and the wheelbase changing during the corners until I rode with the new settings. Bike just feels much more controllable and consistent in the corners. I know...shame on me for not checking, but much better now! Stef - Amigo - we are going to have to have a long conversation about your conscience....Handing over a bike with Stinkos and marshmellows in the fork tubes.......(The conversation will have to be over several Tamave Saris of course) :D :D [/QUOTE]
