So I got my first ride on these shocks. Bolted them on at 1am the night before a ride so the went on just as they came from Fox. REALLY LIKE THE STIFFER SPRING. Great on the whooped out trail, better sidehilling thru old tracks and the sled carves and turn WAY better. I think I need a little more preload and eventually I’ll want more compression damping. I rode most of the day on 3, be nice to have that as the two setting so I can go either way. It feels like Fox didn’t do the 30% increase in comp damping I asked for. I’m at 12 on rebound, I’ll bump that too, feels like about 15-16 up from full soft is where they want to be with the current valve set up in them.
I thought they were bottoming at first but they just really get stiff about halfway thru the compression stroke and they do clunk when topping out. Just a little distracting, wish there was a way to soften that out.
