Where’s yours set to?
All the way to the + or – or half way or half way + 2 clicks

2 from fastest

Somewhere lost in the Sussex countryside…

I think my last one currently lives in Manchester with 3 kids, she married some rich bloke, divorced him fairly quickly and got the house.

As for my forks

Magura 3 clicks from closed
Manipoo 1 click from open
Zocchis somewhere in the middle

Go for a ride and play around a bit untill it feels right, this advice applies to both rebounds.

It’s absolutely pointless sharing any suspension setting.

The only thing worth sharing is the knowledge of how it works and what the adjustments actually do so everyone can understand and know how to set their own suspension up correctly for themselves. 🙂

I like mine fast but not really really fast.

I have no idea, i set it somewhere in the middle before i’d ever ridden the bike and havent touched it since!

Mines at 2 clicks slower than middle on my ‘zocchis and in the on my toras

Fox F32 Front – 9 of 12 clicks out from full damping (9 clicks counter clockwise)
Fox DRCV Rear – 4 of 8 clicks out from full damping (4 clicks counter clockwise)

PP +1

I honestly don’t have a clue. I set it somewhere in the middle and if I ever think its too fast or too slow I twiddle it. I do know the pro pedal on my shock is about 12 from open.

4 down from fastest on my coil sektors

I’m a half + 2 to the +(fast) myself. On front and back (Fox)

I remember setting it reasonably fast, but not all the way fast when I fitted it, and I’ve not touched it since.

I couldn’t say for certain whether I’d notice if someone messed about with it while I wasn’t looking…

Where it feels right, 1 click out from slowest on the rear and no idea where the front sits.

But how do you set up high/low speed compression??? Got some RC3 55 and it does not seem to make any difference which way they are set up. Nice forks though.

Depends on the terrain but a click or two on the slower side of the middle is a pretty good general setup for me.

Usually about 2 to 5 clicks from full slow, but varies from unit to unit, here’s a handy guide to help with setup:

it’s not pointless sharing settings at all if in they’re context!

The OP’s question, along with most replies other than LOCO’s and Chief’s are as pointless as a “how much sauce do you put on your chips” Poll tho.

I start with none and then turn it up until it starts to actually slow the forks as they extend.

The other method I use is ride off a large kerb repeatedly, turning up the rebound until the suspension stops kicking down to meet the road.

With the exception of some DH forks/shocks, rebound settings only effect the low speed end of the rebound control. High speed rebound control is set internally in the shim stack. So this effects how bike bike feels after a deep slow hit, g-outs, high force berms and rider input. Basically you can’t go far wrong with setting it too slow. Contrary to alot of advice I tend to set bikes so when you push down on the forks/rear shock they feel a similar speed (but very slow). The worst that’ll happen is packing down, which at the end of the day makes it at worst feel like a shorter travel bike. I find that only happens on parts of a track where poor performance of suspension only effects comfort, not speed. The slow rebound produces real benefits for stability where grip is limited.

Don’t forget that a fast bike setup won’t always be the setting that makes it feel comfortable.

GW, I like a lot of sauce on my chips 😀
