I'm looking to upgrade the Fox RP2 on my bike to improve its mid-stroke support, and if at all possible, improve the small bump sensitivity and grip of the rear suspension.
I've done loads of research and come up with two options - I'm guessing they'll give similar results, but just wondered if anyone has experience of these upgrades - if you do, could you let me know please?
First option is to retro fit Fox's 'boost valve', which converts the shock to exactly the same spec as those used on the more expensive versions of my bike (which have btter rear suspension characteristics than my bike).
The second option is to reduce the internal volume of the air can (spacers or smaller can) and have a custom shim stack fitted.
I'd made my mind up to go with the latter, based on advise of guys at TF Tuned, who reckon that Fox's boost valve stiffles small bump sensitivity. Perhaps I'm being too sceptical, but I'd wondered if this is because they sell PUSH tuning? Does anyone have any views on boost valved shocks being more harsh than non-BV shocks?
