Went to llandegla for a decent ride today , it was absolutely packed, overflow car park was full.
New damper is excellent, better small bump absorbtion, better large bump absorbtion, just generally all round better,super smooth. I turned the high speed compression and rebound damping down a couple of clicks, compared to my riding off kerbs setting.
It was worth the money I would say. I’d imagine that you could get the normal damper custom tuned to give the same effect though, but you dont get the adjustability.
I can see myself varying the high speed damping depending on what sort of trail I’m riding.
