Just fitted one of these beauties to my Alpine and have read the extensive instructions(!) but any setting up advice based on personal experience would be appreciated.

Setting it up correctly is more scary than the cost 😯

I ride red/black and some DH if that helps.

I thought they came with setting up instructions? See CC website.
Don’t take advice from this forum,set it up how you like it!

It is very difficult to get it set up right. If you follow the instructions then it feels like shit, I have the high speed rebound wound all the way out and it feels good. A few of the guys at Orange run this shock, phone them on Monday for advice.
When it’s right it’s fantastic, but a bitch to get right.

I’ve read the instructions but some practical advice would be appreciated based on other peoples’ mistakes!
